At Nomadic, our mission is to make learning the most important function of every organization. We’ve seen that when learning moves to the center of business strategy, organizations and their people thrive. Together with Donald H. Taylor, the author of the Global Sentiment Survey of L&D leaders, we carried out survey of L&D leaders and convened a focus group to better understand the state of L&D today. A few key insights from the data include:

  • Challenges to strategic L&D vary across organization size, region, and other factors. For example, leaders at small organizations were the least likely to report using metrics and were the least likely to iterate on their work.
  • Many in L&D are taking on a more consultative role in their work with other functional leaders. More than half of respondents reported collaborating closely with other business heads.
  • Across seniority and geography, many L&D leaders entered the field for similar reasons. Nearly 60% reported choosing this career path to make a tangible change in people's lives.
