Following his win, Dr. Keating’s book, “The Trusted Learning Advisor” was released on October 31st, 2023. This book propels professionals in HR, Learning & Development (L&D), Talent Development (TD) and related fields on a transformative journey, evolving from mere order takers to strategic business partners, known as Trusted Learning Advisors. More than a testament to L&D’s potential, it’s a clarion call for its essential transformation within organizations.
“Why are the experts in talent development letting someone else dictate the terms?” Keating provocatively asks, emphasizing the urgent need for L&D to assert its expertise. He urges professionals to question the traditional, to ask “why?”, and to become pivotal business partners and value contributors to organizational strategies. The alternative? Risk becoming obsolete.
In “The Trusted Learning Advisor,” Keating delves deep into the human psyche, exploring our innate tendencies to seek comfort and resist change. But true innovation, he argues, resides beyond this comfort. With the world rapidly changing due to technological leaps and evolving work dynamics, complacency isn’t an option for L&D. The future is both automated and profoundly human, and L&D stands at a crucial crossroads.
Keating’s inspiring journey, from high school dropout to an Ivy League doctorate, exemplifies the power of lifelong learning. This story enriches the book’s message about the transformative role of continuous learning and the critical influence L&D has in shaping organizational futures.
Central to “The Trusted Learning Advisor” is the belief that an organization’s true value lies in its talent. The book is a blaring call for individuals to seize control of their destiny amidst the fast-paced changes in business, technology, and societal landscapes, helping professionals nurture their skills and solidify their value within organizations.
Drawing from his rich experience and expertise, “The Trusted Learning Advisor” provides:
- A roadmap for L&D’s evolution within organizations.
- Strategies to transform from passive roles to proactive leadership.
- Insights into the future of work, balancing automation with human-centric approaches.
