Consulting with Stakeholders for Better Learning Solutions
Virtual Forum
ATD Nashville’s Virtual Forums are interactive, peer-driven discussions designed to connect talent development professionals around timely topics, shared challenges, and practical solutions. Each session features facilitated small-group conversations where participants exchange ideas, experiences, tools, and strategies with others in the ATD Nashville community.
Great learning solutions begin long before content is developed—they start with understanding the business need. How can L&D professionals move beyond being order takers to becoming trusted strategic partners? What questions help uncover the root cause of a performance challenge? How do you build credibility with stakeholders, manage expectations, and ensure learning solutions are aligned with organizational goals?
Join us for a collaborative discussion as we explore effective consulting practices, stakeholder engagement strategies, and techniques for identifying the right solution to the right problem. Whether you're supporting internal clients, partnering with business leaders, or working with external customers, this forum offers an opportunity to share experiences, learn from your peers, and discover practical approaches for strengthening relationships and delivering learning solutions that drive meaningful business results.
This is not a presentation or webinar. It’s a facilitated conversation designed to encourage participation, networking, and knowledge-sharing in a relaxed, virtual environment.
