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:
How do we define high potential?
Are the learning needs of high potentials vastly different from other employees?
Do our solutions provide ample opportunity for both development and visibility?
Should high potentials learn from each other?
Who should develop high potentials? L&D professionals? Managers and leaders? External experts?
How do we know whether the program is successful?
Hear about Ameriprise Financial Inc.’s journey to build a comprehensive high potential framework. This session will cover the multifaceted approach we took to build this framework and some of our key learnings along the way.
Learn how Ameriprise’s high potential framework fits within the overarching L&D strategy.
Understand the key ingredients that of these programs that really work.
Review how we’re measuring success.
Have you been trying to successfully initiate learning solutions in order to develop your leaders, whether for high potential or for midlevel or junior leaders? Have you been challenged to deliver measurable business results and create impactful learning experiences?
Experiential learning is a proven way to create memorable learning experiences. In the webinar, you will learn what experiential learning is, how to use it and hear concrete examples that may spark some ideas for you to develop your own successful initiatives.
In this webinar, you will learn:
What is experiential learning and how to use it.
What are the benefits and pitfalls.
Hear concrete examples of how Fortune 500 companies have used it successfully in order to develop both hard and soft skills.
MICROLEARNING SERIES PART 2 MAXIMIZING ROI WITH MICROLEARNINGHuman Capital Media
Can you prove the impact of your learning programs on the business? We mean actually prove that training has a direct impact on meaningful business results like increased sales, reduced safety incidents, improved customer service and more?
Until recently, demonstrating the impact of key learning initiatives has been an extremely difficult, if not impossible, task. But to prove that learning is valuable, tying it to results is essential. In fact, that’s how functional areas across the business prove their value too. So, it’s time for learning leaders to catch up.
How do you do it? In short, by approaching Microlearning in the right way.
Join us for this exciting discussion with Axonify CEO, Carol Leaman, as she explores:
What learning metrics matter most to the business
How Microlearning can capture the data necessary to measure learning impact on organizational results
Stories from leading organizations that are using microlearning to drive real business results

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

3. MANIFESTO
We believe developers should concern themselves with
features and code quality, not servers and tooling.
We believe the infrastructure can and should be
abstracted away.
We believe there is no enterprise software. Just
software. That auditability, security and
high-availability are fundamentals.
We believe you can move fast without breaking things,
that software is change, and that fear of change can be
overcome.
We believe that we know how to do this. That it’s our
job to make software just run. On every cloud.
On-premise. Everywhere.
We believe
software should
run.

10. Lessons learned in 3 years on running
a distributed company
WHAT ARE THE PROS?
- Build a truly global company from day 1
- Multiculturalism becomes the norm
- Hire outside of the employment competition
hubs. Get the girls/guys who enjoy a life
outside the metropoles and still want a cool
job
- Better employee retention
- No time wasted in commuting. Better
work/private life balance. More happiness at
work.
- “Writing” is the dominant culture
WHAT’S HARDER?
- Very hard to conciliate both an office life and
a vastly distributed team! You have to choose
- Some people just cannot adjust to this
- Less “weak signals” on employee
disengagement
- Hard to hire fresh girls/guys out of college
- Writing is the dominant culture
- On-boarding of new employees is way harder
- Complex to harmonize HR (compensation,
vacation, contracts,...)
- Need to manage communication very tightly
(and it’s more time consuming)
11. Zoom on 5 “key things”
● Sharing common values
● Avoid employee isolation at any cost
● Pick the right tools! The cloud is your friend.
● Flexible contract management
● Focus on your on-boarding process
12. Platform.sh values
- We are a product company.
- We are nothing without our customers' success.
- We never sacrifice quality.
- We are curious, passionate and courageous.
- We are fair, and we don’t bullshit.
