ThoughtLab: Built In, Not Added On: How to Design Career Development That Actually Moves People Forward
💡 ThoughtLab: Join our interactive webinars where speakers share research, projects, theoretical models, or lessons learned on L&D-relevant topics. Dive into new insights with the community.
✨ Participation: This session is ideal for L&D professionals looking to enhance their impact in shaping career development.
You know career development matters. Your organisation probably says so too.
And yet, when you look at what happens day to day, it's inconsistent. Some people get great managers who open doors. Others are left to figure it out alone. A few programmes exist, but they reach only a handful of people.
You don’t need more resources, just a different way to design career development.
Built In, Not Added On is a 90-minute interactive ThoughtLab session for L&D professionals who want to move career development from something that happens by accident to something that works by design.
We'll explore why career development is hard to scale, where L&D has more influence than it realises, and what it looks like to design for career growth.
Expect interactive discussions, practical ideas, and actions you can use in your work.
🎁 KEY TAKE-AWAYS
A new way to think about career development - not as a programme to build, but as something to design into how work already happens

Practical levers you can act on - concrete ideas for enabling managers, increasing visibility of internal movement, and designing development into real work
Language to take back to your organisation - how to frame a more intentional approach in a way that makes sense to business stakeholders
