EMERGING LEADER
Lisa Lukawski, UCB
The training
program itself led
to significant
business results for
12 consecutive weeks.
L
isa Lukawski, one of the four life sciences
professionals honored as an Emerging
Leader in the LTEN Excellence Awards,
is senior manager, performance training, for
UCB, Inc. Lukawski was nominated by David
Fortanbary, director of performance training at
UCB.
"Lisa has emerged as a talented and
committed learning champion across UCB, and
of course within the performance training
department," Fortanbary said. "She has learned
and regularly applies andragogy principles; she
is meticulous with budgets and collaborates in
a strong way with her business partners. She is
regularly recognized within the business unit
that she supports for bringing great value in the
training she designs, develops and oen
delivers."
Citing Lukawski's top three attributes as a
successful leader, Fortanbary listed:
* Attention to detail in design, development
and delivery of training: Lukawski plans for
contingencies, making them fail-safe and
calmly and effectively executing them.
* Developing others: Embracing
opportunities to help others, coach them
and provide stretch assignments in the
learning functions.
* Innovation and problem-solving: Lukawski
works with limited resources to find
synergies across training teams and ways to
reuse content for other needs.
As an example, Fortanbary cited how
Lukawski created, in three weeks' time, training
workshops to support the launch of a new
brand at UCB. e training program itself led
to significant business results for 12 consecutive
weeks, making it one of UCB's most successful
launches. With victories like that in place,

Fortanbary said Lukawski has the skills
necessary to lead a learning organization.
"It was a tremendous honor to be one of the
first-ever recipients of the LTEN emerging
leaders award," Lukawski said. "I am grateful to
be in such esteemed company. When asked
what advice I could give to those in our field, I
would say there are two things that are
imperative to growing your influence within
your organization: Cross-functional teamwork
and strategic planning.
"Forging trusted, real relationships with your
sales leadership and marketing counterparts as
well as those in medical, regulatory, compliance
and legal is vital," she added. "Training doesn't
work in a silo. Be there when needed. Even if
it's 'not your job.' Be reliable, flexible and hard
working. Make sure they feel that 'It's
ok....she/he's got it.' You never know when
you'll need to call on any one of these
individuals for advocacy, relief from a missed
deadline or the voice of reason in a meeting.
Build up a bank of chips with people to draw
on when you need them most." ■
