Many organizations have limited resources (time, bandwidth, funding) for the personal development of frontline leaders. The focus is often on training and ensuring those individuals have the skills to perform their job. This approach to personal development utilizes a “stealth approach” that can utilize resources in place to impart this knowledge through a facilitated mentorship approach.
Learning Objectives:
Determine key competencies to focus on.
Provide easy to use resources for mentors to facilitate discussion and create action items.
Create micro-level activities and assignments for mentees to complete between sessions and build on throughout the session term.
The world of work is changing rapidly. Employees are demanding more learning and development opportunities that are engaging, easy to consume and available on-demand—when and where the they want it. Organizations are finding that recruiting and keeping employees is a growing challenge and are investing in learning and development programs to attract and retain workers. However, even with an increase in the availability of on-demand, easy to consume learning, many employees still are not engaging with it. This isn't simply an 'If you build it, they will come' situation. Without attention to creating appealing and engaging learning opportunities within a modern learning culture, that organizational investment is likely to fall very short of its potential.
In this webinar, tactics will be presented to help you:
Get insights to determine if your employees are engaged
Embed learning into organizational culture to drive employee engagement
Design learner-centric programs that put your employees in the driver's seat of their professional development
ATTACKING THE CHALLENGES OF ALIGNING LEARNING TO ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS AND BOT...Human Capital Media
In this case study you will hear about strategies for aligning learning in both small and large organizations. Furthermore, within either, how focus must be balanced on a win-win proposition for the company and for its people. The practices shared will outline how goals and results are defined first, and then by backing into an approach that defines the actions, activities and initiatives that drive those, results achievement becomes clear to all members within any organization.
Objectives:
Discuss the importance of core values when aligning goals, being firmly enculturated, demonstrated and actively used to hire, fire and coach to, across all levels of the organization.
Understand the pitfalls when there are differences between learning strategies, initiatives and outcomes as defined by role, e.g. level held within an organization.
Learn how to demonstrate and build a case for the importance for leadership development at all levels of the organization.
Describe the process for backing in to learning and development goal setting in support of desired results achievement.
The concept of “open-source” — that is, software for which the original “source” code is made freely available for others to add on, modify, and improve — radically changed the way software is developed, and has played a large part in enabling the technology boom we see around us today.
But the open-source idea isn’t just for software engineers. Some of the core ideas associated with open-source approaches can offer interesting new directions for L&D teams too.
As decentralization, openness, sharing, and collaboration become the new norm in many organizations, the idea that anyone can share their expertise broadly, and that individuals and teams can access and build on each other’s know-how perfectly encapsulates this concept of ‘open-source learning’ perfectly.
In this presentation, you will learn from the experiences of a technology company on applying the concepts of open-source software development to development of another kind – that of your staff. We’ll cover:
The fundamentals of “open-source learning”
How these relate to knowledge sharing and learning within an organization
How to make open-source learning happen
The role of the L&D professional in driving an open-source learning culture
MICROLEARNING SERIES PART 1 MICROLEARNING: THE TRUTH AND THE PROOFHuman Capital Media
Microlearning is a hot topic in the corporate learning and performance space – and the buzz isn’t slowing down. Learning leaders are working quickly to understand the concept, and how it can be applied purposefully to support employees – and ideally – to get business results.
Before an organization takes the leap into microlearning, it’s important to understand the fundamentals first. To be successful, microlearning must be applied in the right way – from the beginning – to achieve sustained results.
In part 1 of our microlearning webinar series, you’ll take-away:
An understanding of the fundamentals of microlearning – the truth about what it is, and what it is not
A framework for creating an effective microlearning strategy that gets results
Real-world examples of how global organizations have used microlearning to achieve significant business objectives
Learning and Development has become far too focused on the volume and arrangement of content instead of its value for learners. As we continue to shift to a demand-driven environment, relevance is ultimately decided by the learner —not the L&D teams. Successful learning organizations develop systems that promote relevance and design learning with an experience-mindset.
In this webinar Matt Donovan, Vice President of Global Digital Learning Strategies & Solutions will explore:
Re-envisioning learning strategies through the learner-centric lens
Innovation as the catalyst to assess the current state of your workplace against the desired future state of the learning experience
The organizational features and architecture required to achieve long-term results
Is your organization keeping pace with the speed of digital transformation? Many companies are struggling to define new job roles and approaches to management. As AI and machine learning take on tasks and services, what are the best ways to evolve your work force? This session will offer practical insights on:
Understanding what it means to be a digital organization.
Why learning and development must be everyone’s responsibility.
How to work across functions to co-create key new systems.
How to upskill using design thinking, agile practices and AI.
Ways to measure success.

Common pitfalls to avoid
Measuring the effectiveness of learning and development in terms of employee success and business results is a challenge that most learning leaders have yet to overcome. In this webinar, learning analytics experts Ian Cook and Nancy Zenger will discuss how modern learning analytics technology can bring together data from learning, HR, and business systems to make it faster and easier to analyze learning data, enabling L&D leaders to answer their most important questions including what is training’s long-term impact on business results. Ian and Nancy will explore how predictive analytics and machine learning can also help you identify which employees should be the top candidates for learning.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND THE MULTIGENERATIONAL WORKFORCEHuman Capital Media
The Millennial generation, within just a few years this group will represent the largest demographic in the workplace. Recent trends in performance management place a lot of focus on how organizations can get the most from Millennials. This concentration on Millennials is short-sighted, as there is an upcoming challenge to the workforce that is a bit more complex: the future workforce, the now workforce is multigenerational, one comprised of employees from between four and six generations. Join people, performance and organizational culture thought leader Kimberly Isley-Pesto to gain insights on how to cultivate leaders within your organization to understand how generational differences impacts performance management. Kimberly will share examples of how leaders can leverage this knowledge of demographics to drive greater workforce performance.
Three takeaways:
Performance management is a continuous leadership action
Focus on people performance, not on the performance management process
Developing leader's skills and competencies in coaching and feedback can not be replaced with software

THE AGILITY SHIFT: T-MOBILE DEVELOPS LEADERS FOR A VUCA WORLDHuman Capital Media
A volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) workplace requires a distinct set of leadership competencies: non-hierarchical influence, the ability to rapidly align across functions, creativity for drawing insights across domains, and most of all, “empathy,” the linchpin leadership skill in the modern workplace. Empathy allows us to imagine the world from different perspectives, unite across functions, generations, regions. Join Melissa Lanier of T-Mobile to learn about “The Agility Shift,” an award-winning leader development offering designed to equip people managers to thrive in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment. The program, which will utilize cutting-edge virtual simulation technology, is designed to help leaders respond quickly and increase resilience by immersively preparing them for stressful encounters. Impact is measured on an individual, function and business level. Collectively, managers report learning how to “avoid tunnel vision,” "think on their feet," “respond rather than react” and embrace a positive mindset.
Modernizing L&D: Part 1 – Why Evolving Corporate Learning Isn’t an Option. It...Human Capital Media
We get it. You’re used to running L&D programs a certain way. So why change now?
Well, the way we see it, you really don’t have a choice. The way businesses and employees work has changed. And, quite frankly, many L&D departments haven’t kept pace. Your people are employees who need to perform, not students who need to be taught. So, if you want to continue to deliver value, it’s time to take a step back and reassess how to align with new business requirements and goals.
In Part 1 of our Modernizing L&D series, we’ll explore why transformation within the corporate learning function is vital. Specifically, we’ll discuss:
How the needs of the modern employee and business have evolved.
Why traditional workplace learning tactics are falling short.
How nine essential principles of modern workplace learning can kick-start your L&D transformation
LEADERSHIP TRANSITION COACHING: A STRATEGY TO FOSTER A POSITIVE WORKPLACE CUL...Human Capital Media
Organizations today recognize the importance of developing a strong organizational culture. According to Gallup, frontline leaders account for 70 percent of the variance between a great culture and a lousy one. However, new leaders are often promoted from within or hired into an organization with minimal direction and support, leaving new leaders to learn for themselves what it means to be a leader. When inevitable challenges arise, new leaders are often left without the support they need to survive, let alone thrive.
Since 2009, CareSource, a nonprofit managed care plan based in Dayton, Ohio, has offered new leaders a certified personal coach to proactively develop and sustain their culture. The Leadership Transition Coaching program pairs new leaders with a certified coach to help define their leadership style and facilitate a positive team culture to ensure organizational success. The program is yielding more confident new leaders and a strong return on investment for the organization.
Session participants will:
Explore the importance of developing and supporting new leaders in order to foster a positive culture.
Learn how CareSource has successfully leveraged leadership transition coaching to support the development of new leaders.
Identify key elements for developing a successful, sustainable internal coaching program.
For seven years, CLO’s LearningElite awards have recognized the organizations that excel at managing the learning function from end to end.

Behind every successful organization is a great team of leaders. But despite billions of dollars spent each year on leadership development programs most companies are still failing their next generation of emerging leaders. In fact, according to Gallup, 50% of attrition is due to poor managers––which makes that the biggest driver of employee disengagement.
So why are leadership development programs failing? And how can we fix it?
Join us for a live webinar where we discuss reasons these programs fail and how to keep your leadership development on track. We’ll explore:
How to identify who should be a leader in the first place
The big, pervasive problem with leadership development
What to do with great employees who might not be cut out for management
The best traits to bring out of your emerging leaders
And more!

University Points: The Gamification of Training and BeyondHuman Capital Media
Ten years ago, Fallon Health began a Learning Points program with the goals of increasing tracking of employee learning and to encourage an ongoing culture of learning. Within the past few years, we adopted the Maestro Learning solution and then added the SumTotal Talent solution - participation in this program has exploded. During 2016, our Learning Points program has been rebranded into the University Points program – building off the internal name of our integrated suite (elixHR® Platform/SumTotal Talent/Succession/Maestro). In addition to rewarding employees with points for learning, employees also gain points for completing their performance evaluation tasks on time, and for completing parts of their employee profile – information that is essential for good succession planning metrics. And, of course, the program wraps up with recognition and prizes at the end of the year! Do you have what it takes to be a University Points Guru?
During this session attendees will learn:
How Fallon Health leveraged the SumTotal elixHR® Platform to increase employee engagement
How we increased employee comfort with SumTotal solutions
Best practices for encouraging continuous learning and data participation for the Succession Planning module
In this age of digital transformation, the speed of business propels at breakneck pace. Thirty years ago, companies moved much slower, akin to a Class-II whitewater rapid. The executives at the helm of the lead boat negotiated the rapids dragging everyone else behind in another boat. Support functions and many individuals definitely didn’t have a place in the lead boat, but it didn’t matter much, as the convoy still succeeded moving at a manageable pace.
But today, companies demand agility, responsiveness, and foresight as they traverse dangerous Class-VI rapids. Insufficient or ineffective communication fostered or hindered by Relevancy of individuals and Teams across all disciplines leaves your organization perched precariously on the edge of a major crisis, potentially provoking financial catastrophe, deteriorating customer loyalty, and brand presence.
Damage comes in more insidious forms as well, including the repercussions of ineffective production and communication, or the cancer of a toxic organizational culture. Despite these treacherous waters, we are still often not asked to be part of the lead boat. Pat Bodin, the best-selling author of Get in the Boat: A Journey to Relevance, will discuss organizational relevance and actionable items to give you the opportunity to earn a seat in the lead boat.
Impacts of Organizational Relevance include:
For the Individual:
Elevates their awareness of the needs of all groups within the organization
Broadens their visibility to the core operations in support of its’ needs
Creates improved job satisfaction and belonging
For the Organization:
Strengthens the working relationships across all disciplines and improves retention
Fosters Talent Development
Drives performance through common focus between individuals and groups
Reinvent Performance Management into a Leadership ProcessHuman Capital Media

Transform it from a HR process to a leadership process
Recognize common pitfalls
Consider the science of human motivation
Change the goal of performance management to improved performance
Many companies seem to have fallen victim to the ominous skills gap – but only because they’ve found it’s easier to place blame somewhere than to look at what they can do to fix it. If you’re struggling to find qualified candidates, you might need to take a deeper look at your organization and ask some pointed questions. Are there areas of the recruiting process that are lending to skill gaps? Have you done a formal assessment to uncover skill gaps? Are you using modern learning methods to bridge gaps by upskilling your current workforce?
Join Katie Miller from BizLibrary as we re-evaluate potential root causes of your organization’s skill gaps and discuss what can be done to fill them efficiently.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
The factors that could be contributing to your skill gaps, and how to find and address the root causes

When the speed of employee learning needs to keep pace with the digital transformation of organizations large and small, the solutions are far from obvious. Digital transformation is changing the learning and development function and the role of the CLO. It is as much about strategy and culture as it is about technology. So how does the learning and development function enable successful market and organizational change in the digital era? This webinar will focus on three core areas of technological and functional change for L&D: how to facilitate organizational change with cross functional collaboration; how to create learning experiences using AI; and design thinking and agile approaches and how to avoid common pitfalls.

THE AGILITY SHIFT: T-MOBILE DEVELOPS LEADERS FOR A VUCA WORLDHuman Capital Media
A volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) workplace requires a distinct set of leadership competencies: non-hierarchical influence, the ability to rapidly align across functions, creativity for drawing insights across domains, and most of all, “empathy,” the linchpin leadership skill in the modern workplace. Empathy allows us to imagine the world from different perspectives, unite across functions, generations, regions. Join Melissa Lanier of T-Mobile to learn about “The Agility Shift,” an award-winning leader development offering designed to equip people managers to thrive in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment. The program, which will utilize cutting-edge virtual simulation technology, is designed to help leaders respond quickly and increase resilience by immersively preparing them for stressful encounters. Impact is measured on an individual, function and business level. Collectively, managers report learning how to “avoid tunnel vision,” "think on their feet," “respond rather than react” and embrace a positive mindset.
Modernizing L&D: Part 1 – Why Evolving Corporate Learning Isn’t an Option. It...Human Capital Media
We get it. You’re used to running L&D programs a certain way. So why change now?
Well, the way we see it, you really don’t have a choice. The way businesses and employees work has changed. And, quite frankly, many L&D departments haven’t kept pace. Your people are employees who need to perform, not students who need to be taught. So, if you want to continue to deliver value, it’s time to take a step back and reassess how to align with new business requirements and goals.
In Part 1 of our Modernizing L&D series, we’ll explore why transformation within the corporate learning function is vital. Specifically, we’ll discuss:
How the needs of the modern employee and business have evolved.
Why traditional workplace learning tactics are falling short.
How nine essential principles of modern workplace learning can kick-start your L&D transformation
LEADERSHIP TRANSITION COACHING: A STRATEGY TO FOSTER A POSITIVE WORKPLACE CUL...Human Capital Media
Organizations today recognize the importance of developing a strong organizational culture. According to Gallup, frontline leaders account for 70 percent of the variance between a great culture and a lousy one. However, new leaders are often promoted from within or hired into an organization with minimal direction and support, leaving new leaders to learn for themselves what it means to be a leader. When inevitable challenges arise, new leaders are often left without the support they need to survive, let alone thrive.
Since 2009, CareSource, a nonprofit managed care plan based in Dayton, Ohio, has offered new leaders a certified personal coach to proactively develop and sustain their culture. The Leadership Transition Coaching program pairs new leaders with a certified coach to help define their leadership style and facilitate a positive team culture to ensure organizational success. The program is yielding more confident new leaders and a strong return on investment for the organization.
Session participants will:
Explore the importance of developing and supporting new leaders in order to foster a positive culture.
Learn how CareSource has successfully leveraged leadership transition coaching to support the development of new leaders.
Identify key elements for developing a successful, sustainable internal coaching program.
For seven years, CLO’s LearningElite awards have recognized the organizations that excel at managing the learning function from end to end. How do elite learning organizations align learning with organizational goals, engage their learners, measure success, engage leadership in employee development and use learning to make a measureable impact on the organization? Join Sarah Kimmel, vice president of research at Human Capital Media, as she discusses the practices that make LearningElite organizations effective, and that contribute to their high scores on the LearningElite benchmark.
You’ll learn:
The practices that distinguish LearningElite organizations from the rest.
How elite learning organizations achieve alignment of learning with organizational goals.
How the LearningElite engage leaders at all levels to support employee development and create a culture of learning.

Tips for maximizing your organization’s scores on the LearningElite application.
Participants will receive early access to the 2018 LearningElite application worksheets.
Behind every successful organization is a great team of leaders. But despite billions of dollars spent each year on leadership development programs most companies are still failing their next generation of emerging leaders. In fact, according to Gallup, 50% of attrition is due to poor managers––which makes that the biggest driver of employee disengagement.
So why are leadership development programs failing? And how can we fix it?
Join us for a live webinar where we discuss reasons these programs fail and how to keep your leadership development on track. We’ll explore:
How to identify who should be a leader in the first place
The big, pervasive problem with leadership development
What to do with great employees who might not be cut out for management
The best traits to bring out of your emerging leaders
And more!

University Points: The Gamification of Training and BeyondHuman Capital Media
Ten years ago, Fallon Health began a Learning Points program with the goals of increasing tracking of employee learning and to encourage an ongoing culture of learning. Within the past few years, we adopted the Maestro Learning solution and then added the SumTotal Talent solution - participation in this program has exploded. During 2016, our Learning Points program has been rebranded into the University Points program – building off the internal name of our integrated suite (elixHR® Platform/SumTotal Talent/Succession/Maestro). In addition to rewarding employees with points for learning, employees also gain points for completing their performance evaluation tasks on time, and for completing parts of their employee profile – information that is essential for good succession planning metrics. And, of course, the program wraps up with recognition and prizes at the end of the year! Do you have what it takes to be a University Points Guru?
During this session attendees will learn:
How Fallon Health leveraged the SumTotal elixHR® Platform to increase employee engagement
How we increased employee comfort with SumTotal solutions
Best practices for encouraging continuous learning and data participation for the Succession Planning module
In this age of digital transformation, the speed of business propels at breakneck pace. Thirty years ago, companies moved much slower, akin to a Class-II whitewater rapid. The executives at the helm of the lead boat negotiated the rapids dragging everyone else behind in another boat. Support functions and many individuals definitely didn’t have a place in the lead boat, but it didn’t matter much, as the convoy still succeeded moving at a manageable pace.
But today, companies demand agility, responsiveness, and foresight as they traverse dangerous Class-VI rapids. Insufficient or ineffective communication fostered or hindered by Relevancy of individuals and Teams across all disciplines leaves your organization perched precariously on the edge of a major crisis, potentially provoking financial catastrophe, deteriorating customer loyalty, and brand presence.
Damage comes in more insidious forms as well, including the repercussions of ineffective production and communication, or the cancer of a toxic organizational culture. Despite these treacherous waters, we are still often not asked to be part of the lead boat. Pat Bodin, the best-selling author of Get in the Boat: A Journey to Relevance, will discuss organizational relevance and actionable items to give you the opportunity to earn a seat in the lead boat.
Impacts of Organizational Relevance include:
For the Individual:
Elevates their awareness of the needs of all groups within the organization
Broadens their visibility to the core operations in support of its’ needs
Creates improved job satisfaction and belonging
For the Organization:
Strengthens the working relationships across all disciplines and improves retention
Fosters Talent Development
Drives performance through common focus between individuals and groups
Reinvent Performance Management into a Leadership ProcessHuman Capital Media
You’ve heard all the buzz and stats: A majority of organizations want to improve their performance management system. Many are getting rid of their ratings. Most are struggling with leaders who can’t coach or give feedback. Almost all agree that performance management is broken.

Transform it from a HR process to a leadership process
Recognize common pitfalls
Consider the science of human motivation
Change the goal of performance management to improved performance
Many companies seem to have fallen victim to the ominous skills gap – but only because they’ve found it’s easier to place blame somewhere than to look at what they can do to fix it. If you’re struggling to find qualified candidates, you might need to take a deeper look at your organization and ask some pointed questions. Are there areas of the recruiting process that are lending to skill gaps? Have you done a formal assessment to uncover skill gaps? Are you using modern learning methods to bridge gaps by upskilling your current workforce?
Join Katie Miller from BizLibrary as we re-evaluate potential root causes of your organization’s skill gaps and discuss what can be done to fill them efficiently.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
The factors that could be contributing to your skill gaps, and how to find and address the root causes
How to re-evaluate what a “qualified candidate” is in order to create more relevant and realistic talent expectations
How to start uncovering your organization’s skill gaps with a formal assessment
How to use modern training methods to bridge skill gaps by upskilling your workforce

When the speed of employee learning needs to keep pace with the digital transformation of organizations large and small, the solutions are far from obvious. Digital transformation is changing the learning and development function and the role of the CLO. It is as much about strategy and culture as it is about technology. So how does the learning and development function enable successful market and organizational change in the digital era? This webinar will focus on three core areas of technological and functional change for L&D: how to facilitate organizational change with cross functional collaboration; how to create learning experiences using AI; and design thinking and agile approaches and how to avoid common pitfalls. The speakers, Amy Loomis and Robert Burnside, bring direct experience from their years of work in the industry and through current consulting engagements. Loomis led the development and instantiation of IBM’s Think Academy and Burnside was Ketchum’s CLO. Join them in a conversation on how L&D can build resilient organizations that are well equipped to navigate the demands of work in the digital era.
BUILDING OUR BENCH AND SECURING OUR FUTURE: AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL INC.’S JOURN...Human Capital Media
Embedding the development of high potential leaders into the fabric of a learning and development strategy is an ongoing priority and challenge for many of us. As we consider possible solutions for creating a willing and able bench of successors, we find ourselves tackling several questions:

MORE THAN JUST CONTENT: WHY DEEP SKILLS DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES A LEARNING ECOSY...Human Capital Media
In today’s L&D landscape, content is often at the foundation of corporate training strategies. However, its role can be overestimated and misunderstood.

MYTHBUSTING: HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF INFORMAL LEARNINGHuman Capital Media
Informal learning has the power to grow individuals, the business, and the results of L&D programs. But while learners today now have 24/7 access to the technology-enabled, just-in-time learning they crave, this doesn’t mean HR and learning leaders should adopt a “build it and they will come” mindset when it comes to informal learning.

EXECUTIVE COACHING PROGRAMS: BEST PRACTICES, KEY ISSUES, AND TRENDS FOR DRIVI...Human Capital Media
Executive Coaching is a holistic development process that takes leaders out of their comfort zones so they can be more self-aware and reflect on their leadership capability and effectiveness. Senior leaders and executives are commonly faced with navigating complex change, leading people and processes and managing the business to achieve objectives. Some of these leaders are in a succession plan and preparing to transition into a new role, while others need overall refinement of leadership skills to lead at the right level. In today’s business landscape, coaching is most effective when aligned with business objectives and the talent management strategy and not used reactively for remedial performance improvement. In this webinar, you will learn how organizations are using executive coaching for leadership development.

BECOMING A PARTNER TO THE BUSINESS: HOW BEACHBODY BUILT THE BUSINESS CASE FOR...Human Capital Media
We know learning happens across different systems and devices, between people, and in the real world. We also know weaving it all together into a seamless learning experience takes some work: new system functionality with L&D, HR and IT teams working together.
As L&D leaders, how can we effectively convince and then work with other business leads to overcome organizational challenges?
The good news is the financial support is there: 70% of CHROs are investing in technologies to help them move faster (PWC Technology Survey in 2017).
The even better news is Beachbody has been successful in partnering L&D to the business and they will be on our May webinar to show just how they did it.
What is a coach? What is development? Let’s explore what it looks like to be a Development Coach at whatever level of leadership you find yourself in. To be an excellent leader it requires being a coach. It requires being agile enough to adapt to individual people and situations. A great leader is curious and sets themselves up for success. That is what a Development Coach delivers.
We will look at four competencies. What skilled and unskilled looks like, as well as how overusing a skill can result in weakening the impact. We will look at how a coach leads their team. We will look at how leaders take responsibility and inspire their people.

Taking flight progressive leadership development at the nbaHuman Capital Media
Coming off of the highly successful launch of strategic leadership initiatives in 2015 and 2016, the National Basketball Association’s learning and development team entered 2017 flying high and anticipating that the most rigorous design work was, at least for a time, behind them. Spoiler alert: It was not. While the more tactical, day-to-day leadership development programming was not “broke,” it became clear that the new standards of practice could no longer be met by undertaking a simple refresh. In other words: If it ain’t broke, break it. By applying the lessons learned in the course of designing more advanced and targeted leadership offerings to ground-level transitional programs, they were able to accelerate the development of a new suite of progressive leadership development products that supported the development of people managers companywide and yielded tangible gains in employee engagement across a wide range of manager-specific measures by mid-2018. In this session, Mike Kennedy, the NBA’s learning and development leader, will discuss some of the team’s learnings, such as:
Culture trumps competencies: You cannot teach that which is not reinforced.
Building one transitional leadership development at a time is a fool’s errand. Commit to concurrent development, or don’t bother.
Don’t assume that senior leaders are “above” discussing leadership basics. There is a significant body of leadership content that is level-agnostic — in many cases, facilitation tactics should vary across levels, but the subject matter itself should be relevant across seniority levels.

Supporting employee development through personalized learning finalHuman Capital Media
Employees are tired of the traditional one-size-fits-all learning experience. In a culture that values the importance of customization we need to adapt our programs to suit learners’ needs. By personalizing learning, we can empower our teams to grow and adapt to a continuously changing work environment.

At the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
Define personalized learning
Outline the importance of offering learners a personalized experience
Incorporate elements of personalized learning into your courses
Despite enjoying one of the most highly-educated workforces in history, today’s organizations are struggling with a common challenge: how do we develop the leaders of tomorrow? When only 14 percent of current CEOs believe they have the talent necessary to execute their business strategies, it’s clear the problem is widespread. And this begs the obvious question: What does the leader of the future look like? And, more pointedly, why are organizations having such a difficult time developing them?
Join Chief Learning Officer and Damian Vaughn, chief programs officer at BetterUp, for a robust evidence-based discussion on the leadership development dilemma. We’ll explore the question of whether L&D as we know it is ill-equipped to develop leaders who can navigate these disruptive times. You’ll hear what new human skills are in hot demand and set to redefine the leader landscape. And we’ll also consider whether a fundamental shift in the way we think about learning and development itself is required to respond to both the current disruptive marketplace and the needs, expectations, and abilities of the modern employee.
You’ll come away from this webinar with a better understanding of:
Why the disrupted workplace requires a fundamentally new type of leader
What skills most leaders lack that are critical for navigating change
Where most leadership programs fall short, and exciting research-based alternatives
Why tomorrow’s leaders must be developed, not just trained—and what the difference is
The benefits of coaching versus training, and compelling results of recent research

REACHING THE BLUE COLLAR WORKFORCE: HOW POLARIS DEVELOPS TALENT IN 2019Human Capital Media
Traditional L&D isn’t obsolete, but it has become outdated. That’s why we collected data from nearly 800 workers, managers, and leaders from around the globe to gain some insights into where L&D and talent leaders can be more effective. The survey says…..L&D is falling short for the modern workforce. In fact, our respondents gave their employers an overall Net Promoter Score of -25 on their learning and development strategies. But many business leaders know this already. What they don’t know is how to fix it. The good news is that employees still love learning and they’re looking for organizational guidance. By honing in on the data and insights that impact how people — and companies — learn, you can make smarter investments in your most valuable assets: the skills of your people. Lucky for you, this event also includes a quick case study from Booking.com on how they are making this data come to life in their organization.
Register for this webinar to learn:
The difference between learning and acquiring new skills
How to apply hard metrics to your L&D strategy
How to align your employees’ learning goals with those of your larger company

HIRING & FIRING AROUND THE WORLD: AVOID LEGAL TRIPWIRES IN THE TOP COUNTRIES ...Human Capital Media
The war for talent is heating up and businesses are smart to consider qualified, passionate candidates from around the world.
That said, hiring and firing in countries other than the U.S. comes with interesting (and often surprising) challenges.
In the U.S., companies can hire quickly as business entities are already established. They can fire quickly as well, so long as the reason isn’t illegal.
What many executive teams overlook is that this efficiency isn’t the same when expanding and adding team members globally. Internationally, hiring without setting up a subsidiary is impossible. And the concept of at-will employment, where companies can let go of employees at any time, does not exist.
What does this mean for your international expansion plans and your business? What would normally be an uneventful employment action or termination in the U.S. could blindside your company in an international context.
Navigating the intricacies of country-specific labor laws can feel like a minefield of potential legal exposure, expensive litigation, and costly payouts. It’s critical to be prepared before you make the first international hire.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
3 things every HR lead needs to know when it’s time to hire globally
Surprising facts about employment law and benefits packages in EMEA, APAC and more
What U.S.-based HR teams need to know about the termination process in key expansion countries (and real stories from international HR specialists on the ground)

Dont wait what 300 ld leaders have learned about building data fluencyHuman Capital Media
Data science and AI are impacting many industries globally, from healthcare and government to agriculture and finance. Everybody needs to be able to work with data the way everybody needed to start using email 20 years ago. As we wrote in Harvard Business Review, “Very few companies expect only professional writers to know how to write. So why ask only professional data scientists to understand and analyze data, at least at a basic level?”
But what value can data fluency actually add, what are best practices to build it into your organization, and what are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?
To answer these questions and more, we conducted a survey of over 300 Learning and Development leaders from diverse industries including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, government, and finance. Join this webinar with Dr. Hugo Bowne-Anderson, a data scientist and educator at DataCamp, to find out what we discovered and what 300 L&D leaders have learned about building data fluency.
Learning Objectives:
What value can data fluency actually add?
What are the best practices to build data fluency in your organization?
What are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?
As businesses become more technological (AI and robotics), there is a challenge and opportunity to, paradoxically, make them more human. The Business Roundtable talked about the importance of human stakeholders over just profit — but how close are we? Are those nice words? What would it take to make business and change more human? As a change, ethics and leadership expert with 40 years of experience, Paul Gibbons will talk us through conclusions from his new book “IMPACT.”
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1) Is the Fourth Industrial Revolution really "a thing?” What is it and what makes our time special?
2) What are the human implications of new technologies? Who will benefit? What is the potential harm?
3) What can workplaces and leaders do to equip themselves for these workplace transformations (future of work)?
Courage (noun): the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. Author Ryan Berman has devoted the past three years interviewing many of the most courageous people and leaders on the planet. Through this experience, he learned that the companies that win share courageousness as a trait. Berman unveils how every brand can unlock courage in their people, leaders or culture. This presentation culminates with ways for the audience to take action today to transform from a Coward Brand or Stasis Brand into a Courage Brand.
After this discussion you’ll be able to:
Build a culture of empowered, courageous behavior and experimentation.
Utilize a modern day, step-by-step framework to becoming a Courage Brand.
Overcome the clarity epidemic we currently find ourselves in.
Create true conviction and healthy retention with your best people.

Human-centred design (HCD) is sweeping business because of the way it profoundly reconfigures how companies develop strategy, solve their most pressing problems and successfully compete in an era of constant change.
But is there any hard evidence that HCD has a measurable impact?
There is. Design Management Institute found that S&P 500 companies who use HCD outperform their competitors by 211 percent. Forrester Research found that organizations with sophisticated HCD capabilities can deliver an ROI of 85% or greater on their innovation initiatives.

Micro mobile measured our learning beyond the classroom strategy 101719Human Capital Media
As a great shift change looms on the horizon, many training orgs struggle to balance strategic planning and large-scale delivery of effective training during an unprecedented volume of churn. As boomers retire, the iGen replacement workforce expects that training on the job will match the learning style they grew up with — tech-enabled, personalized, self-guided and on-demand in mobile-friendly microlearning chunks. The digital transformation from traditional instructor-led training to self-guided delivery of iGen-friendly content has been a continuous improvement journey. Recognizing that the currency of the modern learning economy is your learner’s attention — hard to get and harder to keep — we are leveraging HTML5 and a learning technology stack to evolve our user learning experience design into a powerful consumer-level experience for corporate learning audiences. Gulfstream shares our Learning Beyond the Classroom strategy that allows for mobile-first design of scalable, sustainable training at the learner’s time and place of need.
Smart organizations are enabling their employees to learn everywhere – not just in the classroom – and they’re using technology to do it. RedThread Research recently completed an in-depth study on how organizations are creating their learning tech ecosystems: the challenges they face, the strategies they employ, and the tech they ultimately implement.
Join us for a webinar that will highlight:
The three major structures for learning technology ecosystems and when one is more appropriate for your org.
A model for thinking through the types of technology available in the market.
Next practices for creating a strategic, intentional learning tech ecosystem.
