CLO100 Impact Residency

Welcome to the CLO100 Impact Residency, designed exclusively for L&D Heads / Directors:

This two-day immersive experience focuses on helping you tackle the most critical operational challenges facing modern L&D functions. It moves beyond theory into practical application, equipping you with tools, frameworks, and approaches you can immediately apply within your organisation.

Over two days, we will work through the following core areas:

Business Alignment
As organisations navigate constant change, L&D must actively shape business performance—not just support capability. Learn how to align people strategy to commercial priorities, elevate your executive conversations, and position L&D as a driver of organisational outcomes.

Evidence and Impact
Move beyond satisfaction metrics and rethink how you measure success. Explore how to design for transfer and performance impact using tools such as the Goal Canvas and the 12 Levers of Transfer Effectiveness, enabling you to demonstrate real business value.

Executive Influence
Strengthen your ability to influence at the highest level. Through guided practice, peer discussion, and expert input, you will develop more persuasive communication, handle stakeholder objections with confidence, and apply proven models such as RAIN selling and the Persuasive Cycle.

Storytelling for Impact
Learn how to clearly and confidently communicate the value of L&D. Develop compelling narratives that resonate with stakeholders, position your function effectively, and ensure your work gains the visibility it deserves.

You will also gain insight from the latest Learning Leaders Conversation Study and explore practical applications of AI to enhance performance support. 

What’s included:

• Full access to all masterclasses and immersive action-planning sessions
• Private dinner with peers, designed for open, high-value conversation in a relaxed setting
• One-night stay at the 4-star Crowne Plaza (23rd), including all meals and refreshments across both days

Venue: 

Crowne Plaza, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, HP9 2XE
