The New Buying Committee: Why L&D Decisions Need a Bigger Table (Free)

The buying committee for learning technology has changed quietly, structurally, and faster than many HR leaders expected.

New Go1 research surveying 950 senior IT, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and Compliance leaders found that cross functional involvement in learning decisions has risen sharply over the past two to three years. Today, 88% of IT leaders, 82% of Finance leaders, and 83% of Legal leaders say they are significantly more involved in evaluating learning tools than they were previously. Learning technology is no longer viewed as an L&D decision alone. It now sits inside broader conversations around security, governance, integration, procurement, and risk.

The opportunity for HR is that confidence in L&D has increased alongside that visibility. The challenge is that increased visibility has not translated into ownership. Very few cross functional leaders believe HR or L&D should independently lead decisions around AI powered learning infrastructure.

In this session Ashley Turner discusses the recent report findings focusing on the structural shifts reshaping the learning technology buying environment, what today’s expanded buying committee actually cares about, and how L&D and HR leaders can build stronger alignment across stakeholders to move faster on strategic learning investments while reducing friction and complexity.

Learning Objectives

You will learn how to:

• Identify the structural shifts expanding the learning technology buying committee, including the growing role of IT, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and Compliance.
• Understand how cross functional stakeholders evaluate learning investments through the lenses of security, integration, ROI, governance, and operational complexity.
• Apply practical strategies for engaging stakeholders earlier, building alignment, and accelerating more confident learning technology decisions.

We hope you can come and join the conversation!
