Profiling a New Breed of Learning Executives
In the mid-1990s, when Jack Welch gave Steve Kerr the title of CLO,
General Electric became the first company on record to have a
learning executive with the title Chief Learning Officer (CLO).
Since then, the title has become more popular, if not yet
ubiquitous. Perhaps more importantly, it looks as ifregardless of
the operating titlethe role and responsibilities of the most senior
learning executive in an organization have broadened in scope
though not in purpose since Jack Welch first coined the phrase with
its implied emphasis on strategy. In June 2005, ASTD and the
University of Pennsylvania partnered on a survey to find out more
about the current population of CLOs. Responses were received from
153 heads of learning, 92 of whom had learning budgets greater than
$1 million in companies with more than 100 employees. We selected
those 92 CLOs for analysis. The current positions, career
histories, and educational backgrounds of the heads of learning in
those 92 organizations are profiled. This article also reports on
the competencies these heads of learning believe to be critical for
success.
