TrainingZone interviewed Charles Jennings at World of Learning about his keynote on learning governance.

Charles Jennings, former chief and learning officer at Reuters and present MD of Duntroon Associates, delivered a keynote address to World of learning entitled: Transforming L&D through effective leraning governance.

In his keynote, Jennings outlined his thinking on learning governance, why it is important for L&D teams and how it can be introduced into the organisation.

He told delegates that learning governance was about having the sytems and processes in place to allow L&D to make desisions, drive accountability and prioritise effort. To do this, L&D had to build learning governance boards to ensure stakeholders drive learning governance through the organisation.
