<h5 data-path-to-node="8">Elevate Talent Leadership—From Insight to Action</h5>
In 2026, the mandate for HR and L&amp;D has shifted from diagnosing organizational symptoms to designing intentional talent experiences. It is no longer just about what individuals learn; it is about how teams build capability together in the flow of real work.
The ELE Talent Development Conference 2026 is an elite gathering of senior talent leaders architecting this future. Hosted at the state-of-the-art CNA Insurance Global Headquarters, this year’s experience focuses on the three pillars essential for modern performance: Confidence, Capability, and Clarity.

<h5 data-path-to-node="11">The 2026 Lenses</h5>
<ul data-path-to-node="12">
 	<li>
CLARITY: Cutting through the noise to identify the "Moments That Matter" in the learner journey.
</li>
 	<li>
CAPABILITY: Shifting from individual training to building collective team intelligence (AIQ).
</li>
 	<li>
CONFIDENCE: Empowering leaders to navigate the Four Paths for Growth &amp; Reskilling: Reset, Grow, Build, and Prepare.
</li>
</ul>

<h5 data-path-to-node="14">New for 2026: "Real-Time" Solution Sprints</h5>
In a major pivot from traditional breakouts, our afternoon sessions are now Small-Group Solution Sprints.
We are crowdsourcing the most pressing talent challenges directly from our members—including our hosts at CNA Insurance. You won't just hear about strategy; you will work in high-level peer groups to solve these high-stakes hurdles in real-time. You will leave with a roadmap for action, not just a notebook of ideas.

Session Focus: Enhancing Workday HCM Efficiency Through Collaborative Learning and Innovation
This HR Leaders Roundtable on Workday HCM Training is an interactive gathering that aims to enhance HCM training efficiency through shared insights and strategies.

Please contribute to the conversation that started online with the following post: <a href="https://community.ele.llc/t/workday-hcm-training/5431">Workday HCM Training? - Operations - Idea Exchange - ELE Group</a>
<blockquote>Hi ELE Community!
I’d be appreciative of learning from anyone who has implemented Workday and how you approached training the organization on the new platform. So many ways to approach this and I’d love to hear from anyone who has done this. Thanks!</blockquote>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-40598" src="https://wp.ele.llc/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DALL·E-2024-03-12-17.47.01-Create-an-image-that-captures-the-essence-of-Elevating-Workday-HCM-Training-with-Innovative-Practices.-Visualize-a-collaborative-and-high-tech-learn-1024x585.webp" alt="Workday HCM Training Roundtable" width="745" height="426" />
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to innovative technologies like Workday HCM to streamline their HR processes and drive operational efficiency. However, successful implementation and adoption of such systems require a collaborative approach that prioritizes user experience and continuous learning.
This insightful session delved into the best practices and innovative strategies for enhancing Workday HCM training and driving sustainable change. Through thought-provoking discussions and real-world experiences shared by industry experts, attendees gained valuable insights into:

<ol class="list-decimal pl-8 space-y-2 -mt-1">
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Simplicity is Key: Keep processes, communication, and training simple rather than overcomplicating things. As <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/anton-maletich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anton Maletich</a> aptly stated, "Don't bring data into your new HCM just because you have the data...Don't put a bunch of data in just because it's going to consume you right validating it."</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Adoption as a Continuous Journey: Recognize that adoption is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Plan for continuous change, enhancements, and building skills over time.</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Engage Stakeholders Early: Don't let it be just an HR/IT project – get business buy-in early by engaging stakeholders and champions across the organization.</li>
</ol>
The session fostered an environment of collaborative learning, where participants shared their experiences, challenges, and innovative approaches to elevating Workday HCM training and driving sustainable change within their organizations. By embracing these key takeaways, attendees left empowered to optimize their Workday HCM implementation, enhance user experience, and drive business growth through continuous learning and innovation.
