Program Professional Framework
Managing in Talent Development Certificate
Program Overview
Leading a talent development function requires more than designing good courses: managers must align learning priorities with business strategy, lead a capable team, govern budgets and vendors, and prove impact to executives. This programme uses the ATD Talent Development Capability Model as a reference to cover TD strategy and operating models, portfolio and budget planning, learning technology choices, stakeholder partnership and impact measurement using Kirkpatrick and Phillips ROI approaches. Each tool is applied to the realities of GCC organisations, where national talent and localisation targets increasingly shape learning agendas.
