From Learning to Leverage: Aligning L&D to Business Outcomes in the Age of AI   

By the end of this impactful session with Christine Hass, participants will be able to:

  • Identify where L&D most often misaligns with business needs (and why)
  • Translate business strategy into clear L&D priorities and outcomes
  • Understand where AI actually adds value in L&D—and where it doesn’t
  • Apply a simple framework to pressure-test their own L&D initiatives for business impact

Speaker Bio

Christine Hass is a senior talent and transformation executive who has led the strategy and execution of talent and organizational effectiveness efforts which drive transformation at several large companies including Northwestern Mutual, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Walmart and Motorola.

For 30 years, her focus has been on building capability through people and innovation, in the context or organizational transformation.  Business continues to move at an accelerated pace, and change is the norm.  It is important to take the time to get to know our people, while still moving quickly and nimbly to meet the ever-changing demands of the business landscape.

Christine did her undergraduate studies in Business Management with an HR concentration.  She holds her SPHR certification, as well as organizational change management credentials through Prosci and IMA, along with several certifications in various assessment tools and methodologies.  She has called downtown Milwaukee home for the past 7 years where she enjoys proximity to her extended family in Chicago; enjoys time with friends, community and her canine sidekick, Coco; and all the city has to offer.
