From Courses to Careers: Building Role-Based Pathways That Move the P&L
Dan Marsella
Vice President, Enterprise Partnerships
Workforce Edge
Session Details
Many organizations are rethinking learning as a driver of business performance — not just a catalog of courses. This session explores how employers can use live, market-driven skills data to map pathways to in-demand roles and build measurable career growth systems that truly move the P&L.
We’ll discuss how to replace “catalog sprawl” with sequenced, stackable learning tied to milestones such as badges, micro-credentials, and promotions; how leading employers are forming cross-functional Skills Councils that co-own outcomes with business leaders; and how to instrument success through metrics like time-to-skill, time-to-productivity, internal fill rate, and retention.
Participants will leave with a practical blueprint for connecting learning strategy to tangible business results — and for positioning education as a growth engine, not a cost center.

Breaking the Last Taboo in Talent Strategy: Succession Reimagined
Marcia A. Dawkins, Ph.D.
Senior Research Scientist
Center for Creative Leadership
Daniel J. Smith, Ph.D.
Research Associate
Center for Creative Leadership
Session Details
For decades, leadership succession has been treated like a Game of Thrones episode. Zero-sum, top-down, and cloaked in silence. That story is outdated. Succession is no longer just a boardroom event. It’s a system-wide risk, and opportunity, playing out in real time.
- The story is shifting: Succession isn’t a blood sport. It’s a mindset shaped by culture. The old power-play narrative is giving way to a more human, transparent model
- The crisis is everywhere: Succession gaps don’t just exist at the top. Most organizations neglect non-C-suite roles, draining talent quietly and weakening institutional resilience
- Wisdom transfer is the missing link: The best transitions happen when leaders don’t just leave, they lift. Endorsement and collaboration between generations is an undervalued asset
- AI changes everything: This could be the last cohort to lead all-human teams. Succession plans must now address relational fluency and technological literacy
- Future-fit succession is adaptive: The best strategies balance:
-
- Immediacy – Act fast when the moment demands it.
- Continuity – Preserve what makes your culture work.
- Generativity – Grow leaders who leave a legacy, not a vacancy.

Putting Skills to Work, in Ways that Work
Vidya Krishnan
Senior Vice President & Global Chief Learning Officer
TD SYNNEX
Session Details
- It is essential we attract, retain, re-train, and continually build the future critical skills we need, before we need them. That means being systematic, not programmatic, in how we build skills and put them to work, in ways that work for all
- We’re using skills powered talent practices to help redesign work, giving people more fluidity and flexibility to deploy their critical skills and job role skills to strategic areas
- We have digitalized our jobs and skills architecture and created a skills signature to provide our people with visible simplicity to see and be uniquely seen when it comes to matching their skills and interests– inclusively and intelligently– to opportunities
- We’re learning that in this dynamic landscape, across is often the new ‘up’. Reskilling is the on-ramp for internal mobility, ensuring that the people we have become the people we need, again and again. We are on a continuing journey to harness generative AI and human intelligence to put skills to work, in ways that actually work

Breaking the Last Taboo in Talent Strategy: Succession Reimagined
Marcia A. Dawkins, Ph.D.
Senior Research Scientist
Center for Creative Leadership
Daniel J. Smith, Ph.D.
Research Associate
Center for Creative Leadership
Session Details
For decades, leadership succession has been treated like a Game of Thrones episode. Zero-sum, top-down, and cloaked in silence. That story is outdated. Succession is no longer just a boardroom event. It’s a system-wide risk, and opportunity, playing out in real time.
- The story is shifting: Succession isn’t a blood sport. It’s a mindset shaped by culture. The old power-play narrative is giving way to a more human, transparent model
- The crisis is everywhere: Succession gaps don’t just exist at the top. Most organizations neglect non-C-suite roles, draining talent quietly and weakening institutional resilience
- Wisdom transfer is the missing link: The best transitions happen when leaders don’t just leave, they lift. Endorsement and collaboration between generations is an undervalued asset
- AI changes everything: This could be the last cohort to lead all-human teams. Succession plans must now address relational fluency and technological literacy
- Future-fit succession is adaptive: The best strategies balance:
-
- Immediacy – Act fast when the moment demands it.
- Continuity – Preserve what makes your culture work.
- Generativity – Grow leaders who leave a legacy, not a vacancy.
