In today’s episode of the Working with SMEs podcast, co-host Nathan Eckel and I discuss the expansion of the C-Suite, and in particular the value of adding a Chief Learning Officer to the mix. A CLO integrates and elevates talent development and knowledge management functions into the long-term business plan. A trainer and learning professional at the head table brings a lot to the party when they become experts in the business and the industry.

In a little less than 12 minutes, we talk about the practical and the theoretical aspects of a CLO position. A great C-Suite does not just “think” ahead of the curve because change is no longer linear. Rather, change is exponential so a great CLO helps colleagues “dream” ahead of the curve.
