The emerging profile of Australian learning and development specialists
Abstract
The role of learning and development specialists has changed radically in the past twenty
years. Previously viewed as a necessary cost in good economic times, L&D professionals
have gradually developed an increasingly wide range of specialisms and become key
organisational figures as companies increasingly value knowledge generation and
innovation as key competitive advantages. This recent study has gathered data from highlevel
specialists and a broad national member base to build a profile of the current body
of L&D professionals.
