Learning Together Matters! Harnessing the power of collective intelligence to shape change

As the business landscape evolves, L&D becomes far more than skill‑building—it is a strategic enabler that drives people’s growth, strengthens capability, and creates sustainable advantage. At its core, it is a human journey of shared learning and cross‑generational collaboration that empowers people to innovate, adapt, and deliver meaningful impact.

The 2026 L&D Leadership Summit (Melbourne) highlights the most human dimension of modern work: the power of collective intelligence. It explores how learning together accelerates change, strengthens cultures of shared growth, and opens new possibilities. For L&D leaders, this means amplifying collective learning, creating safe collaborative learning spaces, and supporting people to lead confidently and responsibly in an AI‑enabled world.

Topics to be explored include:

• Navigating the evolving landscape of workplace learning – addressing shifting expectations, workforce realities, and the human experience at the centre of learning
• Uplifting capability as a business advantage – leveraging capability growth to create meaningful value for people and the business
• Cross‑functional alignment – partnering across teams to create cohesive learning and capability strategies that drive shared goals and amplify impact
• Developing leadership for the next era of work – equipping leaders to guide people through change with empathy, clarity, and purpose
• Strengthening workforce adaptability and resilience – empowering individuals to thrive amid uncertainty through shared learning and support
• Designing inclusive learning for a multigenerational workforce – honouring diverse experiences, values, wisdom, and learning preferences
• Mapping skills and capabilities with purpose – aligning learning to critical needs so people grow and the organisation is ready for what’s next
• Creating engaging, human learning experiences – making learning energising, relevant, and grounded in real human connection
• Harnessing AI with responsibility and clarity – exploring use cases that enhance the human learning experience and ways of working
• Anticipating what’s next – understanding trends that shape how L&D inspires people, influences business outcomes, and contributes to a wider ecosystem of collective learning
