Learning at Work Week 2026: “Many Ways to Learn” – a WIG cross-sector perspective
As part of Learning at Work Week 2026, WIG is hosting “Many Ways to Learn,” a virtual event on how cross-sector learning builds leadership capability and supports lifelong development.
Hear WIG alumni share lessons from secondments, mentoring, leadership programmes and trusteeships - and what they learned by stepping beyond sector boundaries. You’ll leave with fresh perspectives and practical takeaways that can inspire and shape your own leadership development.
Speakers:
Harriet Wallace, Director Sustainability, Imperial College London; Trustee, The Royal Institution; former senior leader across BEIS, Defra, HMRC and DHSC.
Lucy Wood, Commercial Director, BAE Systems
Simon Burton, Former Clerk of the Parliaments and CEO of the House of Lords.
You’ll gain insights into:
- Building leadership capability through multiple pathways – what leaders gain from secondments, mentoring, leadership programmes and trusteeships when navigating uncertainty and change.
- Applying cross-sector best practice for greater impact – how learning across sectors drives innovation, improves outcomes and strengthens organisational effectiveness.
- Inclusive, social learning that lasts – the value of relationships, shared experiences and peer learning in sustaining engagement and continuous development.
