The Talent Development Think Tank Community is where talent development professionals come together to share best practices, discover the latest trends, hear from experts and solve challenges so that they can perform better in their jobs and help their companies develop their people more effectively. If you are looking for new ways to engage and develop your people and accelerate your career success, this is the place for you. We have two levels to accommodate the different phases of where you are in your talent development career and journey

I learned a lot from others in the community and at the same time it’s comforting to know that we share similar challenges. The group of people you have put together in the Think Tank is a powerhouse; I’m grateful and excited to be part of it!

Vice President of Learning Experience

As humans, we are not meant to do things on our own. We need community.

This is especially true in Talent Development. It’s not productive or healthy to try to do things all on your own. But most memberships out there do not provide the real, authentic, trusting relationships that we all crave. The Talent Development Think Tank Community is here to put an end to that noise! Much like our conference, this community is built on trust, authenticity and the need for us to work with and support each other.

The TDTT community is a place to connect, grow, learn from colleagues and experts and solve real challenges so that you can achieve more success in your career and feel more fulfillment along the way.

The TDTT Community provides an opportunity for you to:

Connect with other talent development professionals to ask questions, engage in conversations about challenges, share ideas, and learn the latest trends so you are always at the forefront of new solutions and best practices to save you the time and stress of figuring it out on your own.

Get insider information from bestselling authors, Chief Learning Officers, Chief People Officers and experts from different areas around DEI and Talent Development who are making waves in large companies so that you can strengthen your current strategies.

Reduce the time it takes to solve challenges and gain innovative ideas to overcome the issues that slow you down the most so that you can develop stronger leaders and increase sales.

Achieve organizational goals and formulate a plan and actionable steps to take your company to the next level so that you can prepare for the upcoming workplace changes including 'return to office' plans.

Grow your career through networking and personal and professional development resources to enhance your leadership skills so that you are leading by example for your team and feeling fulfilled in your life.

Improve your diversity, inclusion, and belonging at your workplace to build a connected, resilient, and driven culture so that you can reduce turnover and effectively develop your talent to their highest potential.

This community has been extremely valuable to me - allowing me to build my network in a time when traditional networking activities are not possible. It has been a sounding board for ideas, a way to get input and suggestions, and learn about trends in talent development.

"TTDT has been vital in making connections outside my organization with others in the L&D field. The conversations are genuine and informative. The open networking and topic-specific sessions are great jump-starters for deeper conversations 1:1 with professionals I've met through the group. It's great that we can access meeting recordings - and Andy and team always have a fabulous line-up of speakers. This community is well-worth the time and money!"

FAQ:

Q: What is the difference between a member and a foundation member?

Our Foundation Members get 1 monthly workshop that is designed for early career professionals to help you grow in your role. You also have access to 1 networking session each month that everyone in the Think Tank Community is invited to so that you not only can network with other early career professionals, but everyone in Talent Development that you can learn from. You will have your own separate community forum to talk with other professionals facing and overcoming similar challenges and achievements to yourself.

If you are not an early career professional, you will want to sign up to be a monthly or annual 'Think Tank Community Member.' You get access to 4 monthly workshops with 1 networking session plus all of the other great benefits listed, including access to all of the community forums.

Q: How often are the community calls?

Q: Do I need to join all the calls to get value?

Q: Are the calls recorded?

Q: Is there a commitment?

Q: How does this compare with other memberships like ATD?

While there are many places to go out there in talent development, the Talent Development Think Tank is the first community that is born out of the post-COVID virtual world with a community-first focus. While other communities are based around geographic regions, we have a global community where you can hear perspectives from people everywhere. Furthermore, while other memberships seem to focus more on information, with most calls or meetings being webinars, our community is about collaboration where everyone gets to contribute and be heard. While we do invite guest experts to speak, our sessions are open and we spend more time on Q&A than lectures. This way you can interact, meet new people and get your questions answered.
