Chapter Mtg.: From Strategy to Action, Build Your 2027 Talent Development Plan (Tuesday, November 17, 2026)

Tue, 17 Nov 2026 17:30:00 GMT

November Chapter Meeting

From Strategy to Action:

Build Your 2027 Talent Development Plan

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

2027 will bring new business priorities, evolving workforce expectations, emerging skills, and changing leadership demands. But where should talent development professionals focus—and how do we turn those priorities into meaningful action?

In this highly interactive working session, you'll move step-by-step from reflection to strategy to action. You'll examine what you learned in 2026, identify the organizational signals shaping 2027, prioritize the talent development opportunities that matter most, connect those priorities to business outcomes, and create a 90-day action plan to move your strategy forward.

You'll leave with a practical 2027 Talent Development Strategy Canvas, including your top strategic priorities, desired outcomes, measures of success, key stakeholders, and first steps.

This session is designed for talent development professionals who want to move beyond creating plans—and build strategies that create meaningful organizational impact.

SESSION OBJECTIVES

In this session, you'll learn how to:

Identify key organizational and workforce trends that should inform their 2027 talent development priorities.
Prioritize talent development initiatives based on business impact, strategic alignment, organizational readiness, and capacity.
Connect talent development priorities to measurable business outcomes, capabilities, and behaviors.
Create a practical 90-day action plan to begin executing a 2027 talent development priority.
Commit to a specific next step and stakeholder conversation that will advance their strategy from planning to action.

Learning Leaders Breakfast: A Peer Exchange for CLOs and Sr. Talent Development Leaders (Thursday, December 03, 2026)

Thu, 03 Dec 2026 14:00:00 GMT

A Peer Exchange for

CLOs and Sr. Talent Development Leaders

Program Description

We're bringing together Chief Learning Officers and Senior Talent Development leaders from across the region for an honest conversation about the challenges and ideas shaping our workforce.

Take advantage of this opportunity to meet others in your shoes, hear what's working inside Kansas City organizations, and leave with useful ideas and connections for your team.

What to Expect

We'll start with a panel of senior leaders discussing What's Working Now in KC Talent Development, then open the conversation to everyone. Bring your experience, your questions, and one insight you're willing to share. Expect a genuine exchange of ideas with peers, with no sales pitches.

Seats are limited to keep the conversation genuinely peer-level, and we'd be glad to reserve one for you. You're welcome to invite another learning leader from your organization, especially someone you're developing for a future leadership role.

We hope you'll join us for the first of many gatherings of Kansas City's learning leadership community.

PLEASE REGISTER BY NOVEMBER 20, 2026
