5 Ways to Unlock the Hidden Value in Your Emerging Leaders BizLibrary
Many organizations are facing a potentially disastrous drain on top talent as an increasing number of employees approach retirement. Unfortunately, most employers don’t have strategic-level initiatives in place to capture and retain the knowledge that's about to leave, and they don't have replacement talent ready to step into leadership as these roles open up.
Employers also feel they can't engage and retain early career talent long enough to fill leadership roles…but what if you approached the whole challenge a little bit differently? What if you looked at creative ways to tap into the vast talent pool of our emerging leaders today, and not wait until we promote them into designated leadership positions?
In this webinar you'll learn:
- 5 best practices to unlock the hidden value in your emerging leaders
- The business impact of investing in your current talent
- How to approach leadership with an intelligent, forward-thinking outlook that will return excellent results and inspire others
Congratulations! You’ve developed the greatest training program ever. The content is ideally suited to your business problems, the technology works, and the employees seem to like it. There’s only one problem… nobody knows what to do with it when they return to their jobs.
If that’s not a nightmare scenario for a training professional, we don’t know what is!
Ultimately, we need our employees to learn, retain, and then apply what they learn to improve their knowledge and skills and reach higher levels of performance. That’s the goal. But how many times do we fail to see the ROI we expect? How many times do we see well-executed content NOT applied on the job? How many times do we have to go back to the CFO and explain why the ROI we expected never materialized.
Kristi McNabb, Revenue Operations Manager at BizLibrary, will help you discover how and when employees apply learning to improve their job performance, explain the role managers play in helping employees retain training and drive ROI, and help you understand how microlearning can be a great tool to help employees in their moment of need.
During this webinar, Kristi will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
- How to help employees apply their learning and improve job performance
- A manager’s role in employee retention and training ROI
- How microlearning is a great tool for helping employees acquire skills just when they need them
- ... and much more!

Grabbing the attention of time starved LearnersLaura Overton
44% of L&D professionals say their staff are reluctant to engage with online learning but Towards Maturity’s direct research with learners shows that perhaps they are not as reluctant as we think! This interactive session, first presented at the Learning Technology Summer Forum 17th June 2014, takes a fresh look at how L&D professionals can think about not only grabbing learner’s attention but turn that attention into action. Here we show how to apply killer tips from the world of marketing to today’s L&D challenges.
The presentation also introduces the Towards Maturity Engagement Index to help L&D organisations identify how their engagement strategies compare with others. Readers can identify their Engagement Index, and 21 other effective practice indices by participating in the Towards Maturity Benchmark Study at www.towardsmaturity.org/benchmarktoday.
Why SIMPLE Wins: Escape the Complexity Trap and Get to Work that MattersBizLibrary
Imagine what you could do with the time you spend sitting in meetings and writing emails every day. Complexity is killing companies’ ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time.
Drawing on research and themes from her latest book, Why Simple Wins, Lisa Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to proactively move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today’s corporate world, to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm.
By learning how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value.
Lisa will touch on several key areas to make the case for simplification:
Simplification is a skill that’s available to us all, yet very few leaders use it.
Operating with simplification as a core business model makes economic and ethical sense—for our customers, for our company, and for each other.
Simplicity drives culture, and culture in turn drives employee engagement, customer relations, and overall productivity.
The reality is this:
While organizational complexity is an issue, more often individual complexity is the culprit – we often create the beast that we become slaves to without even realizing it. Using simple stories and techniques, Lisa will show that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the organizational and individual busywork that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that matters.
The State of Performance Management: What’s Broken and How to Fix ItBizLibrary
Let’s face it – performance management, as used in most organizations is broken.
In fact, for many people the words “performance management” cause dread, anxiety or at least cynicism. These systems have been created with good intentions, but the outcomes that we are getting are far from meeting those intentions.
The good news is that while the systems may be broken, there are ways to make them work without overhauling the software of forms.
In fact, in this fast paced practical webinar, leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry shares specific ways to change the mindsets, habits, conversations and outcomes related to performance management in your organization.
You will leave being able to work within your organization’s existing systems, and still create real, lasting improvement in your performance management conversations.
By the end of this session you will be able to:
Determine the misunderstandings and get everyone on the same page
Make sure people know it isn’t really about performance “management”
Help people see what is really required for success with these processes
Know the skills required to make this transformation work
Change the culture to make the changes really work
Shift the focus to the outcome and not a form
Create a culture_of_learning_8.16.2017 (002)BizLibrary
Are you creating a learning culture for your employees? We're working in environments today where change is no longer an event but a constantly occurring process.
In order for businesses to maintain a competitive advantage, it's vital for their employees to be continually improving and learning. You may have some good ideas about what it takes to implement a culture of learning, but how’s your strategy? Do you have the tools and resources necessary to build a solid foundation for your learning culture? What's your communication plan? How will you measure success and failure?
In this webinar, CEO of BizLibrary, Dean Pichee will talk about what an engaged learning culture looks like, what types of strategies to implement to turn your ideas into a reality, how to make sure your training really sticks and how to manage the change that will inevitably occur as you implement a culture of learning.
Key Learning Objectives:
• Learn the key characteristics of an engaged learning culture
• Why micro-learning is the ideal tool for real culture-shift
• How the science of learning reinforces training and increases ROI
• Why change is inevitable and how to deal with it in a positive way
Justifying eLearning: ROI and Key MetricsEduson.tv
eLearning specialists constantly face a lot of “why” questions. Why is eLearning indispensable for the company? Why does it need special (and annually increasing) budget? Why can’t online courses be replaced with conventional mentoring or training? It isn’t always easy to prove the worth of eLearning.
This session explores the design of persona-based learning maps to support manager-employee development discussions. Employees in participating organizations are assigned a “learning persona” based on their role. Skills and learning activities are then varied based on the needs of different groups.
Explore simple strategies and a top 10 list of practical methods for ensuring and demonstrating the benefits of a corporate training investment.

World of Learning 2014 Closing Keynote: Linking Learning to BusinessLaura Overton
Laura Overton provided the closing keynote at World of Learning 2014 (Birmingham, UK), sharing why it's important to prioritise the alignment of learning to business needs instead of focusing on the latest fads and technologies.
Microlearning and Proven Methods That Facilitate the Ongoing Learning ProcessBizLibrary
Delivering learning to employees is only the first key step in improving performance. Employees have to retain the gains in knowledge and skill, or the time, energy and effort that went into the program was for nothing – wasted.
According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, 87 percent of teachers said technology is creating an “easily distracted generation with short attention spans.”
The challenge for many organizations and professionals is that we focus so intently on developing employee learning resources, we overlook the importance whether our employees retain any of what they learn. As it turns out, reinforcement of lessons learned is a powerful part of learning and vitally important.
Recent research is helping us learn more about exactly what reinforcement methods really work, and why.
In this session, Dean Pichee, CEO of BizLibrary and training industry veteran, discusses “the forgetting curve” and methods, techniques and tools (including video) that can reverse the forgetting curve and lead directly to much higher returns on investments in improved performance.
You’ll leave this webinar with actionable steps you can take to increase learning retention and overall performance in your organization.

Leading Remotely: Getting Great Results Wherever Your Team is LocatedBizLibrary
The reality of the working world today, and for the life of a leader is that all of those you lead likely won’t be down the hall or in the next cubicle. Each day technologies allow more people to lead teams far from where they are, or even for people to work from home one or more days a week. While there are opportunities gained, this reality creates tremendous productivity and leadership challenges too. This webinar will help any leader navigate these challenges more successfully. We will outline the biggest challenges and systematically talk about how to cover them, and even take advantage of the opportunities remote teams offer us.If you lead a team remotely, or expect that you will in the future, this session will help you be more successful in building your team, developing your people and creating the results needed by your team. Led by leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry you will leave this engaging and interactive webinar with new skills and the confidence to use those new skills.

Creating a Mindset for Change and InnovationBizLibrary
When it comes to change, most leaders and organizations focus on structures, processes, and systems. Few even recognize that without an individual and collective Mindset for Change and Innovation their best efforts will fail, especially now. This experiential session will show what is really getting in the way, how an intentional and clear focus on what you want rather than on what you are trying to avoid turns insight into actions and actions into breakthrough outcomes. She'll explain how this focus can benefit you, why we unconsciously focus on negative thoughts and how we can rewire our brains to focus on positive outcomes so that we can steer toward opportunities and away from the threats that a world in transformation will bring. This is not another positive "attitude" session, it is a session that delves into our natural instincts to focus on what we fear and are trying to avoid. Once people understand this concept, their awareness of intentional and clear focus on what they do want becomes very powerful. Laura will demonstrate simple tools to help turn you and your team's focus around and provide stories of how organizations have implemented this successful mindset. Leaders will walk away with a clear method of how to create a positive future for themselves and their team.

Micro-Coaching: The Impact of Continuous, Short and Instant Learning and Feed...BizLibrary
Many learning specialists and leaders have very limited time to plan and organize regular and scheduled formal coaching sessions. Instead, coaching is done in micro events—as needed, as it happens, in conversations and usually in combination with web tools and mobile devices. In these situations, micro-coaching becomes the only link between learners and workers and their leaders or trainers. The success of micro-coaching, therefore, leads to better performance.
In this webinar, you'll learn answers to questions such as:
What is the difference between formal coaching and micro-coaching?
What events trigger micro-coaching?
How do you implement micro-coaching, e.g. instant assists, feed-back loops, self-guided reviews, deliberate applications, and others?
What leader and trainer skills to develop in micro-coaching?
How do you effectively use web tools and mobile apps?

Leading Remotely: Getting Great Results Wherever Your Team is LocatedBizLibrary
The reality of the working world today, and for the life of a leader is that all of those you lead likely won’t be down the hall or in the next cubicle. Each day technologies allow more people to lead teams far from where they are, or even for people to work from home one or more days a week. While there are opportunities gained, this reality creates tremendous productivity and leadership challenges too. This webinar will help any leader navigate these challenges more successfully. We will outline the biggest challenges and systematically talk about how to cover them, and even take advantage of the opportunities remote teams offer us.If you lead a team remotely, or expect that you will in the future, this session will help you be more successful in building your team, developing your people and creating the results needed by your team.

Creating a Mindset for Change and InnovationBizLibrary
When it comes to change, most leaders and organizations focus on structures, processes, and systems. Few even recognize that without an individual and collective Mindset for Change and Innovation their best efforts will fail, especially now. This experiential session will show what is really getting in the way, how an intentional and clear focus on what you want rather than on what you are trying to avoid turns insight into actions and actions into breakthrough outcomes. She'll explain how this focus can benefit you, why we unconsciously focus on negative thoughts and how we can rewire our brains to focus on positive outcomes so that we can steer toward opportunities and away from the threats that a world in transformation will bring. This is not another positive "attitude" session, it is a session that delves into our natural instincts to focus on what we fear and are trying to avoid. Once people understand this concept, their awareness of intentional and clear focus on what they do want becomes very powerful. Laura will demonstrate simple tools to help turn you and your team's focus around and provide stories of how organizations have implemented this successful mindset. Leaders will walk away with a clear method of how to create a positive future for themselves and their team.

Micro-Coaching: The Impact of Continuous, Short and Instant Learning and Feed...BizLibrary
Many learning specialists and leaders have very limited time to plan and organize regular and scheduled formal coaching sessions. Instead, coaching is done in micro events—as needed, as it happens, in conversations and usually in combination with web tools and mobile devices. In these situations, micro-coaching becomes the only link between learners and workers and their leaders or trainers. The success of micro-coaching, therefore, leads to better performance.
In this webinar, you'll learn answers to questions such as:
What is the difference between formal coaching and micro-coaching?
What events trigger micro-coaching?
How do you implement micro-coaching, e.g. instant assists, feed-back loops, self-guided reviews, deliberate applications, and others?
What leader and trainer skills to develop in micro-coaching?
How do you effectively use web tools and mobile apps?
Designing eLearning Environments for Learning OrganizationsKristina Schneider
My presentation at ISPI-Montreal's 2006 Conference discussed A Systemic Approach to Designing Fluid eLearning Environments for Learning Organisations.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How can you and your organization
demonstrate positive elearning return
on investment (ROI)?
Find out in this guide, which describes six key strategies.
Identify Define Establish Understand Consider Measure
4. 4 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
Why Elearning?
Elearning revolutionized how individuals, teams, and entire organizations build skills
and knowledge. Measuring the effectiveness of elearning is critical to confirming
it delivers tangible benefits. Inability to justify value and success erodes stakeholder
buy-in and discourages project champions.
5. 5 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
Identify
At its core, elearning is about solving problems. But it’s not
enough to see problems only from the learner or manager perspective.
You also need to understand the business case for elearning.
6. 6 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
TACTIC NO. 1
Identify training needs
Identify training needs in ways that stakeholders will understand by mapping them to the needs of
the business. To get started with an elearning initiative ask, “What are we trying to shift? Do we need
a training strategy to move the business forward? Do we need to adjust operations to streamline
day-to-day activities?”
example:
The sales team at a manufacturing company doesn’t know how to effectively use a new cloud-based application.
Impacts of this include lack of data centralization, a decrease in team collaboration, and an increase in an
already present skills gap. Productivity is down 15 percent. Employee morale and retention is a big problem.
The need is evident. The company needs to invest in providing the sales group with training opportunities that
get all team members up to speed.
7. 7 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
Define
It’s important to define the elearning goals for your organization.
It’s even more important to define and set the right goals.
8. 8 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
TACTIC NO. 2
Define goals
With your needs in mind, set goals in collaboration with key
stakeholders. Discuss what a successful elearning program
would look like.
GOALS MIGHT INCLUDE:
75% reduction
in software-related IT help requests
100% of employees
trained on the new software in 3 months
Ongoing training
opportunities for power users
example:
An organization seeks to increase employee productivity so it deploys
a new software application. Currently, each employee spends an
average of two hours per week contacting IT for help or searching
online for assistance getting unstuck. IT is swamped with requests,
leaving inadequate time to work out bugs following the software launch.
9. 9 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
Establish
Success metrics should support training needs and confirm that the goals you set are met.
Align your metrics with your goals. Good metrics help benchmark success, and discussing metrics
with stakeholders provides clear understanding of the data you need to collect.
10. 10 | Demonstrating Positive Elearning ROI: 6 Tactics for Success | lynda.com
TACTIC NO. 3
Establish your success metrics
The Kirkpatrick Model, based on four levels of learning evaluation, shows how to measure the
effectiveness of an elearning program.
example:
If the goal is to get 100 percent of a sales team trained on new software, then success metrics should
measure knowledge building. They also should evaluate the result of that learning, or the business impacts.
Your reporting might include:
• Number of training registrants (measures reaction to learning opportunities)
• Number of IT tickets created before and after learning took place (measures behavior change)
• Hours spent on training per employee

reDUction of traininG costs
Producing learning content or sending employees to training offsite takes time and costs money. But elearning
happens online, reducing inefficiencies and expenses. ROI goes up when a course costs nothing to develop and
is easily accessed.
reDUction of time spent traininG
In 2013, the average employee spent 31.5 hours in training, with 55 percent of that occurring in a classroom setting,
according to the 2014 Association for Talent Development (ATD) State of the Industry report. But elearning lets
individuals learn at their own pace at times that work best for them. A Brandon Hall Group study reported that elearning
requires from 40 to 60 percent less employee time than when the same material is delivered in a traditional classroom
setting. You can calculate the reduction in training time against each employee’s salary to realize the savings.
improvement in traininG sUccess
Classroom-based instruction is frequently “one-size-fits-all.” But instructor-led training supplemented with elearning
has the highest success rate, because it lets in-person training sessions be focused and personalized to audience
needs, according to Learning Solutions Magazine. Trainees can consume elearning training outside of the classroom
setting and later come to in-person sessions equipped with knowledge for meaningful discussions.

improvement in employee onBoarDinG
Organizations lost nearly a quarter of all new employees within a year, according
to the 2012 Allied Workforce Mobility Survey: Onboarding and Retention. Major
contributing factors were underperforming onboarding programs and lack of training.
The study indicated that the cost of not training new employees properly is steep.
Filling one position costs on average $10,731 not including relocation costs, which
alone can reach more than $20,000.
But elearning allows an organization to streamline onboarding by getting new
hires quickly up to speed on software and skills related to their roles. According
to the Aberdeen Group: Onboarding Benchmark Report, organizations reported
that effective onboarding improved retention rates by 52 percent and time to
productivity by 60 percent. For employees, long term outcomes of successful
onboarding included job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

improvement in employee retention
Employees who are not provided training opportunities are more likely to find
new jobs, according to the Harvard Business Review. But elearning allows employees
to experience continuous development opportunities, making them feel more
connected to their roles. And having a next level of training always available creates
an environment of perpetual challenge, encouraging the development of a learning
culture. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) describes the cost
to replace an employee as 50 to 250 percent of annual salary and benefits.
fewer online searches
Employees spend hours online looking for answers to simple questions in a vast sea
of information. But effective online training provides instruction on a wide range
of subjects and software applications, aggregating answers in a single resource with
a consistent level of quality.

increased productivity
Elearning provides ongoing training opportunities, which can boost productivity (often measured by units produced,
items sold, forms processed, and tasks completed). According to an IBM report, companies that use elearning
tools and strategies have the potential to boost productivity by up to 50 percent. For every $1 that company spends
on training, it realizes an estimated $30 worth of productivity.

Employee engagement is a challenge at many organizations. But workers provided
training that relates to their jobs and supports personal growth are more likely to
feel completely engaged and connected to the workplace, according to the Harvard
Business Review.
When employees are not engaged, they don’t put energy or passion into work.
Actively disengaged employees are distracted and unhappy. Gallup reports that
30 percent of employees are engaged, 52 percent are disengaged, and 18
percent actively disengaged.
A disengaged employee costs an organization approximately $3,400 for every
$10,000 of salary (Gallup). But organizations with highly engaged employees can
decrease turnover by 87 percent (Human Capital Institute).

Often, organizations struggle with how to measure employee engagement.
Gallup proposes asking employees to respond yes or no to the following statements:
yes no
I know what is expected of me at work.
At work, my opinions seem to count.
I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right.
The mission or purpose of my company makes me feel my job is important.
At work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day.
My associates or fellow employees are committed to doing quality work.
