Many new L&D leaders feel pressured to quickly demonstrate impact by launching programs and achieving quick wins. However, enterprise learning leaders suggest that this instinct can hold L&D back.

The focus during your first 90 days should be on designing structure, governance, and credibility to ensure L&D becomes a strategic partner rather than remaining reactive.

This guide reveals how successful Chief Learning Officers approach their first 90 days. Key insights include:

  • Assessing and reshaping inherited structures to enhance effectiveness

  • Prioritizing governance before programs and aligning stakeholders early

  • Building credibility with senior leaders through measurable business outcomes

  • Utilizing decision frameworks for alignment and reducing friction

  • Establishing standards for scalability and measurable impact
