[Webinar] How Strategic Alignment & the Right Business Partners Drive L&D Impact

Talent and Learning teams are expected to move faster, deliver impact, and create business value—often without the resources to match. With growing needs, how can Talent and Learning leaders create a scalable, strategic approach that balances internal capabilities with external expectations?
The key is strategic governance—a structured approach to business alignment, prioritizing, and investing in learning. When combined with managed service providers (MSPs), Talent and Learning teams can double down their focus on strategic thinking and rely on credible and experienced MSPs to become extended team members for faster delivery to maximize resources and impact.
Join Cognota & ELB Learning for a discussion on how Talent and Learning teams can design strategic governance models that work and leverage MSPs to extend resources, maximize budgets, reduce inefficiencies, and drive real business impact.
What You’ll Learn:
Building a strategic learning and talent governance model. How to prioritize learning needs, manage stakeholder expectations, and set up a governance framework that supports both business goals and learner success.
When (and why) to leverage a managed service provider. How the right external partners can help scale learning and talent efforts, fill skills gaps, and provide flexibility without adding headcount.
Proving the business case for smarter resourcing. How to secure executive buy-in by framing governance and MSPs as strategic solutions—not just stopgap measures.
Why This Matters Now
Talent and Learning teams can’t do everything in-house while maximizing strategic outcomes. As companies focus on efficiency and speed to value creation, learning and making the right investments in people, processes, and partnerships is critical.
This webinar will provide real-world strategies for governing learning effectively and using managed service providers to extend your team without adding complexity.
