As businesses expand their learning operations across the globe, they face many challenges: how to ensure continuity of training but also retain individual pieces; development and management of a global curriculum; addressing learning needs at various levels; development of managers at different levels; ensuring compliance and uniformity in the delivery of learning methods; and increasing retention and decreasing turnover, to name a few. During this workshop, Maria O’Donoghue, director of global learning and development for Hertz, will present with Marla Zarlenga, learning services account manager for ACS, a Xerox company, to describe how their companies partnered to create a global transformation of Hertz’s learning system, delivering a high ROI for training dollars, and developed an approach to global learning that is a model for global learning success.

Craig Dickerson Resume; Learning, Leadership and Talent DevelopmentCraig Dickerson
A proven talent development professional with focused experience in learning and leadership development. Worked in the US and Europe helping companies develop strategic and effective programs to up-skill employees or prepare them for transitions. Six years of consulting has developed a broad perspective of talent challenges and solutions. Worked in Media and Entertainment, Financial Services, Energy, Consumer Products and Manufacturing industries as well as in the public sector.
I understand that effective training has a major impact on a company's success!
Previously, I spent my career establishing and maintaining professional relationships with both internal and external users, on our company's policies and procedures and various software applications. I played a pivotal role in ensuring that both existing and incoming staff and clients received excellent training. I did this by increasing effectiveness of our corporate training presentations, updating and creating user/instructor curriculum and maintaining critical skill coverage on each of our software applications. I spent a great deal of time keeping abreast of cutting-edge training methods, project management and developmental research. This included learning such things as the Adult Learning Theory; its proper application and use, Motivation Theory, and methods and techniques for delivering effective training utilizing an on-line, blended and purely face-to-face approach.
In addition to my extensive training experience, I also enjoyed working as a Senior Account Manager/Project Manager. Here, I established and maintained successful professional relationships with our largest clients. Designated as the single point-of-contact, I gained our clients' confidence and trust by consistently providing customer-centered, high-quality solutions on a daily basis. My success as an Account Manager came from my unique attention to detail, open and honest communication and my dedication to providing accurate, on-time deliverables. Partnering with our client, I developed and implemented our new quality review processes, researched efficiency-opportunities, reviewed for regulatory compliance, addressed programming issues with IT, oversaw our ‘User Level Acceptance Testing' for over 3 years and gathered data on technical issues to resolve client questions and concerns in a timely manner.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
