Transform Training and Development Into a Strategic Growth Engine
Tired of being seen as the “training program provider”? Frustrated by creating courses that check boxes but don’t move the needle on business results? In Reinventing Corporate Training, Flora Alves challenges traditional corporate training models and offers a bold alternative: repositioning L&D as a strategic growth engine directly connected to business outcomes. Instead of focusing on content delivery and logistics, you’ll learn how to become a trusted strategic partner who drives real organizational change.
Written for L&D and HR professionals ready to break free from the service provider role, this book offers a clear framework for assessing and advancing the maturity of your organization’s learning culture. You’ll discover practical strategies to:
- Elevate L&D’s role from tactical execution to business partnership.
- Foster curiosity, knowledge sharing, and experimentation.
- Embed continuous learning into everyday work.
A practical manifesto for urgent and necessary change, this book equips you with the mindset, tools, and language needed to transform learning in an ever-changing business environment.
Flora Alves is a Brazilian learning strategist, entrepreneur, and chief learning officer at SG Aprendizagem. A recognized authority in corporate learning and development, she is the author of several bestselling books and an international speaker on learning transformation, helping organizations align learning with strategy, performance, and innovation. Alves resides in São Paulo, Brazil.
