How can L&D build better partnerships with stakeholders?

In this facilitated working session, Dr. Becky Burke, Vice President, Learning & Strategic Development, at BankWest, brings forward a real example of how her team partnered cross-functionally to redesign onboarding, strengthen supervisor capability, and align leadership development to business priorities. You’ll work with peers to analyze how needs were identified, how alignment was built, and how solutions were co-created—examining the specific conversations, tools, and decision points that turned stakeholders into partners. Through shared problem-solving and group insight exchange, you’ll leave better equipped to build trust, navigate resistance, and increase your strategic influence.
