Hear how the Organisational Development team worked with Totara Partner Lambda Learning to build a platform that recognises every role, from the course-to-role matrix and dynamic audiences that keep training assignments accurate, to the manager-facing reporting and user tours that bring it to life day to day.

This session also covers the wider journey behind that work: the upgrade to Totara 19 that got it started, and the Zoola Analytics layer now extending that further, for the more complex, cross-course reporting that sits beyond everyday native reporting.

Whether training requirements vary by role in your organisation, or you’re just interested in how a platform keeps evolving long after the big launch is done, this is where it starts. Bring your questions, there’ll be time for them live.

What You’ll Learn:

• How a course-to-role matrix and dynamic audiences keep training assignments accurate automatically
• How reporting moved from a central admin function to something managers use directly
• How user tours help bring new tools and processes to life for the wider team
• What’s next as Zoola Analytics extends the model to more complex, cross-course reporting

In this session, we’ll reframe performance management as more than a compliance cycle but as the mechanism organisations use to spot capability gaps early and build adaptability into how people work. We’ll look at what changes when the question shifts from “did you hit your goals” to “are we building the skills we’ll need in 12 months,” and how continuous feedback and goal-setting can act as an early-warning system for skills gaps before they become a business risk.

You’ll leave with:

• A framework for shifting from backward-looking reviews to forward-looking readiness
• Practical ways to use goal-setting and check-ins to surface skills gaps early
• A clearer view of where AI genuinely changes the performance conversation — and where it’s just noise

In this practical session, Jenine Macey MCIPD, Head of Learning and Development at Oxford Brookes University, will share how the university has developed its approach over time – from supporting mandatory learning across a diverse workforce and achieving close to 95% compliance, to enabling academic development, research, health and safety, apprenticeships and more.

You’ll hear how a small central team manages learning for different groups across the university, reduces manual administration, gives other teams greater ownership and uses automation and self-service to make learning easier to manage.

Jenine will also share some of the practical ideas and solutions the team has developed along the way, giving you a chance to see what staff learning looks like in practice at Oxford Brookes and take away ideas you can apply in your own organisation.

At University College London Hospitals, supporting over 16,000 staff means workforce data, compliance requirements and reporting must work seamlessly together.

In this session, Matthew Nolan shares how his team connected HR data, their LMS and reporting systems to create a smarter learning operation. By automating data flows and aligning learning requirements to organisational structure, the Trust improved data accuracy, reduced manual processing and enabled real-time compliance insight.

Join this practical case study to explore how better integration can strengthen learning operations and support more strategic L&D decision-making.

Too often, businesses bend their processes to fit existing technology. But it’s your LMS that should adapt to you. The flexibility of Totara gives teams just like yours the freedom to shape their LMS and learning journeys.

The best learning solutions aren’t built from a template. They flex to meet unique business and learner needs. Join us to discover what’s possible with Totara.
