Hi all,
I'm doing a research project for the Learning Guild and would like to talk to a few people who have been responsible for starting/staffing a new L&D department/team/function. Have lots of contacts who have taken over existing groups but would like to hear from some who worked from the ground up. Please let me know if you have some experience here and would be up for a call about it. Thanks!
Jane
Let's talk! Happy to help you out with your research. I'll reach out to you through LinkedIn.
Thanks Owen!
Jane,
I've done this for a few companies in the past. What I learned/experienced may not be applicable, but happy to chat with you.
Richard
Great, thank you! Messaged you on LI.

Hi Jane, I have done this twice. Once I was on the team as the senior team member but not the manager. Most recently, I am in this spot as the manager. However, in my current role, the company does not have the commitment to truly funding the function, so I've had to get truly creative on how to do this with nothing (including no LMS and only one PT contractor).
If you're interested in talking about either of those slightly atypical situations, let me know. You can connect with me on LI if it's easier.
Sounds great. I sent a message via LinkedIn. Thank you!
Thanks to all who responded! I ended up with 11 great interviewees so think I have what I need for now. Thanks for being such a great community! Watch for the report in a few weeks.
Jane
