Most Chief Learning Officers are over whelmed with incessant demands for services. Some demands are anticipated, many not. As a result, CLOs have little, if any, time conducting short-term planning, much less strategic planning.

In some cases, such as an acquisition of another business or the integration and merger of two or more internal training efforts, strategic planning becomes an absolute necessity.

When done, strategic planning is invaluable in effectively managing the training function . The larger the training function, the more valuable the strategic training plan .
