Publisher's Synopsis
Learning must be strategic. Purposeful. Transformational.
Learning and Development Strategy: A Practical Guide to Designing Learning That Drives Results by Zubin Rashid is not just a guide-it is a call to action for L&D professionals, HR leaders, team managers, and organizational changemakers who believe learning is not a checkbox, but a catalyst.
From uncovering your organization's deepest learning needs to designing experiences that align with real business goals, this book walks you through every step of the strategic learning journey. With clear phases, actionable templates, and real-world case studies from companies like Google and Standard Chartered, you will learn how to:
Align learning with your mission, vision, and strategic goals
Conduct meaningful skills gap analyses that actually lead to growth
Design high-impact, real-world learning solutions using proven frameworks like 70:20:10
Build a learning culture that lives and breathes in every team and conversation
Measure what truly matters-growth, performance, and results
Whether you are starting from scratch or refining an existing L&D approach, this book gives you the roadmap, the mindset, and the tools to turn learning into your organization's greatest advantage.
Because you do not build a successful organization and then develop your people. You develop your people-and they build your success.
