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.
