What should a learning and development strategy be able to demonstrate?

The purpose of alearning and development strategyis to closeskills and competency gapsidentified in the learning needs assessment. It must demonstrate what knowledge, skills, and behaviors are required for success in the future state and how these will be built. While training methods (B, C) are included in planning, thecore demonstrationis the competency framework aligned to the change. Individual impact (A) may be measured later but is not the strategy’s primary output. Thus, option D best aligns with ACMP guidance.
