Strategy Group programme

The Strategy Group programme is a mix of presentation and discussion-based sessions covering key L&D-related business issues.

Aims
- to present new information and ideas from authoritative figures within L&D or industry
- to allow time for Q&A or discussion, depending on session format
- to leave participants with tools or ideas to take back to their own organisations

The sessions vary in length from 45 minutes to 1½ hours.  Delegates choose which sessions they attend, and are invited to make their choice shortly before the event.
