Most L&D leaders are prioritizing reskilling and upskilling current employees over hiring new ones, which requires rethinking how career development is designed and measured.

In this panel, L&D leaders explained how they're developing existing teams to meet new capability demands, strengthen strategic alignment, and show measurable impact.

We discussed:

  • Reskilling and upskilling talent to align with your 2026 strategy.
  • Structuring internal career development paths, even without formal promotions.
  • Measuring development effectiveness and readiness across roles.
  • The impact of AI and technology on L&D teams and how to adapt.
