The Learning Equation: When Investment + Strategy = Self-Funded Growth (with D2L)

Learning budgets are under scrutiny. Membership numbers are plateauing. Revenue streams need diversification. Sound familiar?

There’s an equation that leading membership organisations have cracked: Investment + Strategy = Self-Funded Growth.

Join D2L for a session that breaks down this learning equation step by step. Through real case studies and practical frameworks, discover how a learning strategy doesn’t just retain members—it can generate the revenue to fund itself whilst driving organisational growth.

This isn’t about justifying training budgets. It’s about solving the learning equation that turns investment into measurable returns through membership growth, operational efficiency, and financial stability that boards actually celebrate, not challenge.

Whether you’re defending current learning investments or exploring new strategic possibilities, you’ll leave with the complete equation, practical frameworks to apply it, and clear next steps to achieve self-funded growth.

Perfect for heads of learning, membership directors, and senior leaders ready to solve their learning equation.
