"It is difficult to make a business case for learning without being aligned with the strategic goals of the organization. This is more important than ever given the economy. Rather than relying on the fact that the organization has always spent money on learning because it makes their employees happy, or it is the 'right thing to do,' learning leaders must link their learning initiatives with overall corporate objectives. While you may not know all of the CEO's objectives, make it your business to find the top two or three and address them in your learning program."
