The Directorate of Learning Management (DLM) , is a principal change agent for the Canadian Defence Academy.

Change management can only come about through a practical agenda. The new Canadian Forces Professional Development philosophy championed by CDA emphasizes:

• A continuous learning environment
• Integrated learning models
• Higher education for both officers and NCMs
• Professional Development as a factor in recruiting and retention
• Distributed learning
• Professional and personal self-development
• Accountability and performance assessment

DLM is an enabler for CDA to achieve each of the above and as such is intimately involved in achieving the CDA mission.
