Learning is a fundamental building block of life, whilst the learning and development (L&D) division is often a fundamental part of any large scale or public sector institution. Many of these divisions though lack foresight or strategic vision.
This paper brings together the viewpoints of L&D experts from large public sector institutions. Some suggest new ways for tackling various aspects of L&D, whilst others focus on specific areas within learning to further develop and enhance success. They come from different perspectives but each expert is looking towards a future where L&D and other traits are regularly updated for the betterment of the whole organisation.
