Towards Maturity to facilitate new benchmark forum for L&D professionals in the Legal Sector

LONDON - June 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Towards Maturity, the not for profit L&D benchmark practice, will host a new benchmark forum for senior HR and L&D professionals within the legal sector.

The networking event, titled “21st Century learning for 21st Century legal firms (http://www.redtray.co.uk/legal-learning-event/)” will be held in London and will run from 2.30pm until 5.30pm.

The event has been designed in conjunction with leading professionals from the legal sector to help participants identify collaborative solutions for common challenges they face. The afternoon will focus on three main topics, with each topic discussion kicking off with insights from learning professionals from the sector. Guest panellists include L&D experts from Eversheds, Clifford Chance and Hogan Lovells. The three discussion topics for the event are:

Topic 1 - Aligning Learning and Talent in 21st Century Law Firms

Topic 2 – Capturing and sharing knowledge within the firm

Topic 3 – Supporting the global workforce

The event will be facilitated by Laura Overton, Managing Director of Towards Maturity. A follow up paper will also be available to all participants from the day that captures the practical insights and lessons learned from the event.

Laura Overton says: “Over the last 10 years, a number of legal firms have used the Towards Maturity Benchmark to formally compare their learning practices with their peers. This benchmark forum provides an informal environment for participants to share practical hints and tips to help each other get started and overcome common challenges. Attendees will be able to draw on insights from the good practice uncovered by the formal benchmark process and the collective wisdom of the group.”  

The free event is being hosted by one of Towards Maturity’s founding Ambassadors Redtray Solutions. Senior HR and L&D professionals can register to attend at the event’s website (http://www.redtray.co.uk/legal-learning-event/).
