What You'll Learn
This is the next evolution of your journey as a learning and development leader. Part 2 of the Advanced L&D Cohort Program builds on your foundational practice and dives into the real-world complexities of delivering strategic, systemic, and sustainable learning.
You’ll work alongside a cohort of peers across ten sessions, each crafted around the 4D Learning Cube model. Through immersive activities, peer coaching, field assignments, and expert facilitation, you’ll level up your ability to drive learning that actually changes behavior, performance, and culture.

- Identify and address root causes of learning challenges using strategic diagnostics
- Influence and partner with senior leaders to co-create high-impact L&D strategies
- Design holistic learning journeys that deliver results beyond the workshop
- Facilitate emergent, learner-led sessions with confidence
- Integrate AI and technology to accelerate design and personalization
- Measure what matters—and tell compelling stories of learning impact
- Plan for scale, sustainability, and true cultural embedding
