The story of Fearless HR also applies to the Learning and Development profession, because it suffers, as well, from less than flattering historical perceptions and conflicting purposes.  Once it is irrevocably stated that L&D’s purpose is to drive business results, it sets a clearer agenda, focus and alignment.  The first step, of course, is to identify those business results that are worth pursuing.  Forman identifies four major insights that contribute to business-focused L&D:

• A spectrum of business results
• A hybrid capability and competency framework to improve L&D
