Kathryn’s learning team functioned well. They were in the third year of a five-year plan that was clear and had a dedicated budget to accomplish its objectives. The main goal each year was to update 10% of their learning assets and make them available in digital format.

Kathryn, the chief learning officer of a large manufacturing company, was recently handed a challenge. Her company acquired another company and was growing from 4,500 to 7,000 team members in a matter of weeks.
