4:00 PM Boardroom C: From Maturity to Impact: Aligning L&D with Business Strategy

As organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate ROI, optimize resources, and respond quickly to business change, Learning and Development must evolve from a delivery function into a strategic business partner. Based on Cognota and Brandon Hall Group’s The Rise of Learning Operations research, this boardroom session will explore how L&D leaders can use maturity benchmarking and operational discipline to drive measurable business impact. This session will examine where most organizations stand today, where maturity gaps persist, and how leading teams are closing the alignment gap between learning investment and business outcomes. Join this session to discuss: 

  • How the LearnOps maturity model can be used to assess and strengthen strategic alignment
  • Practical ways to connect intake, planning, capacity, and measurement to business priorities
  • Turning operational data into executive-ready insights that support better investment decisions
