Cloud Computing – Time for delivery.
The question is not “if”, but “how, when and where”
Capgemini Cloud Strategy - Technology thought leadership. Mark Skilton
While many CIOs point to cost savings as the primary driving force of their Cloud initiatives, a growing number are seeing broader benefits that are focusing their team on delivering greater business value. Hudson CIO Mike Whitmer, and Trex CIO Kirby Miner presented a webinar on migrating to the Cloud and the ramifications on their budgets, their business and their people.
Topics include:
• Real-world Cloud ROI calculations: benchmark your potential for cost savings
• The business case for migrating to Cloud: to share outside the IT department
• How to get started with a hybrid approach: so you can see immediate benefit
• How the Cloud will impact your staff: key issues to address within your organization
In 2016, cloud technologies went mainstream. But with maturity came the realization that moving to the cloud doesn’t happen overnight. CIOs are prioritizing hosted computing and cloud data storage. But they’re approaching the shift as a gradual, multi-year journey.
Many startups and small businesses will continue to go all-in on cloud. But enterprises will find success in a slow but steady move from on-prem. Hybrid ecosystems—of data, software, and infrastructure—will be the reality for most established organizations.
As this shift to cloud progresses where are things are headed? This paper highlights the top cloud trends for 2017.
With advancements in core HR technology over the past several years, organizations are increasingly adopting and integrating robust talent management systems and product suites. Incorporating a holistic system within their talent strategy helps companies meet objectives that often include external enablement, talent development, retention, and compliance. However, despite organizational goals spanning the entire talent management spectrum, (learning continues to be the leader) and still has the strongest influence. It is the engine that drives virtually all other Human Capital Management processes.
During a recent webinar, Katie Wirth provided easy-to-understand insights on the following best practices as they relate to learning within your talent management strategy:
- Determine how learning can be incorporated into all aspects of your organization’s talent management strategy.
- Ensure your processes are defined, aligned, and accurate before implementing, upgrading, migrating, or expanding functionality.
- Leverage social learning.
Should learning events be both designed and facilitated with synergy being an integral part of the experience? How can group dynamics best be leveraged to yield exponential and enduring rewards?
During a recent GP Strategies’ 20-minute webinar Steve Swink explored tactics, strategies, and payoffs of synergistic learning experiences from both design and delivery perspectives.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, it is easily worth an hour of training. As the time available for training continues to diminish, organizations need to be creative in how information is communicated to learners. An innovative solution to teaching a challenging project is to use visual learning, or communicating through images and video, instead of traditional training methods.
Portability - Meeting the Training and Information Needs of the Mobile WorkforceGP Strategies Corporation
Companies are faced with an ever-increasing remote workforce. Additionally, the pace of business is hastening every day and the volume of knowledge that individual performers need to master to serve your customers is exploding more than ever before. Mobile isn’t just about how to best utilize the latest smartphone, it’s about “portability” and end user performance. It's more than merely pushing content from previously designed formats and providing just one more medium of communication to an already over communicated workforce - it's about changing how information and content is designed and used.
In any given organization the learning and training needs of each team and individual are unique to their goals and job functions. In 2014 there was a lot of focus on personalizing training content to the needs of the learners. But much like Amazon predicting shopping habits of buyers, is it possible to predict what type of learning needs to anticipate?
Learn how to navigate the complexities of a global SuccessFactors rollout. Get tips for utilizing a multi-step approach for your global rollout to ensure your unique organizational goals have been met, and explore:
- Methods to execute a transition strategy that focuses on meeting the organization's most relevant goals
- How a Strategic Advisory Board can help ensure long-term cross organizational consistency and support, by not only guiding your vision, but also monitoring and managing it
- How to create a governance structure for long-term success
- Tips to leverage product pilots to evaluate technical functionality and the user experience
Corporations are constantly challenged to find ways to keep learners engaged. Methods such as social learning, portal, and mobile learning have been implemented with success; however, gaming has remained elusive. Often, a gaming initiative can fall victim to the constraints of time and budget, while other organizations struggle to determine how to best harness the power of gaming in their learning strategy. The question remains: Is it possible to produce corporate gaming that engages the learner without breaking the bank?
Join Sheri Weppel, Director of eLearning Development and Training for GP Strategies, in this 20-Minute Webinar to discuss how to bring game-based learning into your enterprise today. Specifically, she will consider:
- What are the challenges and direction related to game-based learning?
- What are the elements of gaming that captivate the learner?
- What support is required to ensure a successful knowledge transfer?
- How can gaming be achieved in a responsible time and budget allocation?
As learning and development professionals, we know the value of locating resources, sharing ideas, and learning about best practices from the experts in the field, so why then do we seem to underestimate or ignore the value of our own hard-earned knowledge and insight? Our experience and expertise are unique assets we can share in the workplace. They are a professional advantage that we can leverage within the organization to mentor colleagues and use to gain new clients.
The expectation that all learning and development professionals should be comfortable sharing can be intimidating or know how to share the knowledge appropriately and usefully can be misleading. We often have more opportunity to share because of the nature of our work but may feel unprepared or aren't sure how to distill, organize, and communicate what we know and have learned from a project. By organizing the information into digestible chunks, the information becomes useful and shareable.
Join Karen Sieczka, Instructional Designer for GP Strategies, for a 20-minute webinar where she will discuss:
- Why sharing can build professional credibility and retain organizational knowledge
- How to share knowledge through writing, speaking, and mentoring
- Where some places are to share best practices
Clarity on engagement accountability is first needed before one can even try improving employee engagement inside an enterprise. But, accountability is different for every level in an organization, including individuals, managers and executives.
Chris Rice, author and head of BlessingWhite, a division of GP Strategies, shares perspectives from the consulting work done by BlessingWhite (specific to the role of senior leaders in engagement). Most employees are exposed to these executives only in corporate statements, town hall meetings or other one-to-many communications. So how does an executive set the tone and inspire others when their opportunities to do so are few and they are seen as being so remote?
Join us for this TrainingIndustry.com webinar sponsored by GP Strategies, as Rice discusses the important role senior executives must play in building a culture where employee engagement is a way of delivering superior business results.
This webinar explores easy-to-understand insights on:
•Distinguishing an executive’s role from that of a manager when it comes to building engagement
•Pitfalls executives face when trying to deal with employee engagement
•Practical tools executives can use to keep their efforts, and themselves, on track
Follow the conversation on Twitter: #EmployeeEngagement
In today's work environment, career can be an ambiguous thing. Yet, employees still want to know if they have a future with their company, and if the company is committed to their future development.
Meanwhile, managers shy away from the topic of career, as changes in the organization and a lack of clear career options tend to make the conversation challenging.
Join us for this TrainingIndustry.com webinar, sponsored by GP Strategies, in reviewing recent research findings around career, discussing employee expectations and exploring how organizations can best support employees’ ambitions while also driving organizational performance.
As the picture of career evolves, so must our approaches to career management, and the attention we pay to culture and the tools we deploy.
During this webinar, Mary Ann Masarech, a lead consultant of the employee engagement practice at BlessingWhite, a GP Strategies division, provides easy-to-understand insights on:
•Why the concept of career is central to organizational performance
•What employees are looking for
•What organizations are doing to support career development
•What the most successful career development initiatives do and don’t do
Join Steve Swink, Training Specialist for GP Strategies, during a 20-minute webinar where he will highlight some of the most current thinking around Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), a topic receiving much attention in both the academic and corporate worlds. Steve will discuss:
- Different varieties of MOOCs
- Pros and cons of the various flavors of MOOCs
- Ways MOOCs can be leveraged in a corporate environment
- Lessons to be taken from MOOCs as you grow and adapt your learning arsenal
- Questions and thoughts from the audience
Enterprises continue to become more spread out as the result of globalization and the proliferation of new communications technology. Many businesses have had to adjust employment strategies to ensure that all staff members, regardless of their backgrounds, are actively productive in their positions.
The following infographic helps to illustrate the diverse range of satisfaction drivers from different regions around the globe, focusing on many countries that have become economically intertwined over the past several years. Why does job satisfaction matter? It is a critical ingredient in creating a fully engaged workforce. High engagement can yield advantages including better productivity, customer ratings, profitability and retention. On the other hand, disengagement costs businesses an estimated $350 billion each year.
