About Us

The vision for LDN was born in May 2011 when 9 (nine) Nigerian professionals who attended the American Society of Training & Development (ASTD) conference at Orlando, Florida and met at the conference.

They talked about the seamless way with which the conference was organized and discussed on how to bring the same passion from that conference to Nigeria and start something similar.

Dr Alo (Founding President of LDNI), who was also at that conference, immediately volunteered to sponsor the venue and breakfast at the first roundtable meeting of the proposed network in Nigeria. Collins Edebiri (Founding VP), who was also at the conference & has been the livewire of this network, got back to Nigeria and immediately rallied and coordinated the first in August 2011 and subsequent meetings ever since.

Use of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are swiftly transforming the landscape of learning and development (L&D), offering new opportunities professionals and organizations to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their training initiatives.

However, while data analytics and AI offer many benefits to L & D practice, there are also several concerns, as well as issues and problems that learning professionals and organizations may encounter when implementing these technologies.

Kindly join Peter Shialsuk on Wednesday July 5th @ 11am as he shares his thoughts on some of the key issues that L&D professionals and organizations need to be aware of.

Collaboration, Transparency and Adaptability aren’t just fancy terminologies gaining grounds in corporate domains for no good reason. They are critical factors required for organizations to succeed and thrive in a disruptive era.

Truth be told, many organizations are struggling with respect to growing and deepening these capabilities for the purpose of expanding sustainable advantage.

Why? Because a large number of organizations still consist of workforce with rigid mindsets, behaviors and norms with relevance only for the 1st industrial era! Adapting and pivoting for growth therefore remain a pressing challenge.

To make real progress, organizations will need to shove up the degree of adaptability. They would need to Build a Culture of Agility!
