Session Description: Learning & Development organizations are increasingly allocating their dollars more strategically, concentrating investments on critical talent development requirements and going beyond conducting the run-of-the-mill programs. As they do so, they realize that such initiatives call for a higher standard of impact and execution. How can L&D organizations ensure that they hit the target with these initiatives? In our work with clients, we are uncovering an emerging set of best practices that amount to taking an integrated bored approach to key talent development initiatives, beyond the typical "develop and launch" approach. Join us as we discuss these best practices which include:

*: Providing a blended solution that strategically integrates mentoring

*: Leading participants through the lifecycle of a change process, including stages to educate, engage, reinforce key behaviors and iterate-and-improve the program based on early experience

*: Having an organizational structure that includes a business analysis team and a customer stakeholder team
