According to a validated research, organizations globally invested approximately $511 billion in learning and development initiatives in 2014, a sizeable, well considered and perhaps the most important investment that organizations could have made. This was the highest investment as we begin to see parts of Euro Zone and Not America demonstrating signs of economic recovery and industrial expansion. There is broad consensus internationally that learning, talent development; its retention and building leadership capacity are preconditions for delivering sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, there is wide agreement that growing effective learning cultures are the canvas for consistently delivering successful business strategies. The conference ties in with the mission of PSTD to “build and broaden professional leadership, capacity and capability in Pakistan.” The conference instills a learning culture in organizations. It aims to keep abreast with and successfully adapt to the evolving needs of today’s challenging organizations. The conference will be an opportunity for Business Leaders, HR Professionals and Learners to get a global perspective on best practices and solutions to current unique organizational challenges in the areas of Learning and Development.
