Description
The central question in this course is: how to organize Learning and Development (L&D) as strategic tools in an Organisation? The course focuses on how issues of Professional Learning, Training and Development (L,T&D) are dealt with in organisations and the challenges they face when (re-)designing, implementing and evaluating L,T&D programs or tools. More specifically, the course addresses how organisations connect L, T&D to their strategic plans in order to make Professional Learning a strategic tool in itself.

Objectives

3.) Convince the client of the validity of the presented problem definition, interpretation, and analysis as well as the suggested solutions.
4.) Manage a team project in a professional way, while making use of the support, resources and diversity available and cooperating with the client.
