In this episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, David James is joined by Egle Vinauskaite to discuss the launch of her highly anticipated follow-up to the ‘Race for Impact’ report. They explore the core objectives behind this new research and the methodology Egle used to capture the reality of today's learning landscape.
Egle reflects on the "Transformation Triangle" - a core concept of the report - unpacking its components and arguing for a definitive move away from traditional, legacy training models. They delve into the practicalities of how L&D leaders can navigate these strategic paths, the organizational blockers or "drags" that routinely stall progress, and what it truly means when Egle writes that "influence is not a consolation prize." Egle provides a roadmap for teams facing leadership pushback, offering actionable advice on how to break out of a strictly content-focused lane and elevate L&D into a high-impact, influential business driver.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
AI is rapidly taking over traditional L&D tasks, so L&D must redefine their role rather than just produce content faster.
-
For L&D, the future lies in 3 areas: becoming a skills authority, an enablement partner and/or tackling performance as a systems problem.
-
L&D’s ability to change is shaped by the organisation around it. Reporting lines, what leaders expect from “the training team,” and the skills the L&D team has will all determine how far beyond content L&D can really move.
-
Building credibility by being involved early when business problems are defined, enables L&D to influence decisions and outcomes more powerfully.
BEST MOMENTS
“The transformation triangle is a strategic framework for L&D leaders…it maps the territory beyond content focused L&D.”
“Understand the boundaries that you're operating within. Not that you cannot massage those boundaries over time.”
