Diana Anderson wants to talk AI and L&D strategy over lunch at the Botanic Garden. We're in. Are you?
Think less "calendar event," more "good conversation you didn't want to end."
Diana's been around ELE for years and is joining the Executive Cohort Panel at this fall's conference. This lunch is her way of getting a head start.
The loose prompt: where does L&D actually fit into a 3-year plan when AI keeps changing the ground under it?
Teri Hart and Johannah Simon laid a lot of this groundwork back in 2018 in Your Learning Needs a Comprehensive Strategy. The first few slides — finding the "sweet spot" of impact and scale, the tells your strategy isn't comprehensive, Discover's Learning Landscape framework — still hold up almost exactly. Worth a skim (slides or podcast) before we sit down.

Friday, Sept 25 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM | The Garden View Café, Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe.
Heads up: the Café is a great spot, but it's inside the Garden, so admission and parking apply (both are free if you're a member — and it pays for itself after a visit or two). Lunch is on your own tab.
Paul DeSousa, Teri Hart, and Matt Hutson are already in — thanks for jumping on this early. Want to join them?
