We speak to learning leaders every day, and one struggle we hear over and over is the difficulty of selling internally. These leaders may understand the power of learning and the impact it can have on their organization. But how do they translate their understanding of learning’s power into enthusiasm and buy-in from a suite of stakeholders that includes everyone from senior leaders through the learners themselves?

Selling internally is a crucial skill for L&D disruptors. If you can’t build coalitions and get buy-in across your organization, it’s going to be very difficult to achieve your goals. And the stakes are high. While the World Economic Forum anticipates that six in ten workers will require training in the next three years, many do not have access to the development opportunities they need today. In fact, in one recent survey, more than 30% of respondents reported feeling unprepared for what the future held for their job role.

So how do L&D disruptors get their organization on board with their plan for tackling capability gaps and rolling out high-impact learning to their employees?

In many of our conversations with L&D disruptors, they talk about how creating a culture of learning is one of the most important tasks on a learning leader’s plate. But this isn’t a lever you pull overnight—–rather, it’s all about slowly building your network of champions, understanding how your stakeholders approach organizational goals and priorities, and continuously telling the story of why learning matters.
