About: In an era of shrinking budgets, evolving missions, and urgent upskilling needs, government learning leaders are being asked to deliver more impact with fewer resources, and faster than ever before. This panel brings together senior L&D professionals from across federal, state, and local agencies to explore how agile thinking, adaptive delivery, and lean innovation are reshaping government learning programs. Through real-world examples, panelists will share how they’ve sustained learning continuity, improved workforce performance, and maintained mission alignment, all while navigating staffing cuts, platform limitations, compliance mandates, and shifting priorities.

Whether you are facing a constrained budget, accelerating timelines, or pressure to modernize, this session offers proven strategies for building L&D programs that are not only efficient, but resilient by design.
