The Leadership Imperative: Bridging Business Strategy and Training for Organizational Success

Strategic training alignment isn't optional—it's a leadership imperative. When executives fail to connect business strategy with learning initiatives, the consequences are costly: skill gaps that impede execution, wasted development budgets, and a workforce questioning the relevance of training. Research shows alignment of strategy and talent accounts for 60% of the difference between high and low performing companies, yet only 57% of L&D functions are well-aligned with strategic priorities.
