High Impact Learning

There was a time when it was sufficient for Learning and Development to deliver a program that people rated highly and where they learning a lot. That is still necessary. But it is no longer sufficient to ensure continued funding.

In the current economic climate, training and development has to consistently produce positive business impact to compete successfully for resources. The goal posts have moved; delivering great learning is only the beginning. On-the-job results are the new finish line. The job of corporate learning is not done until measurable results are delivered.

To reach the new finish line, training and development professionals need new processes and tools to ensure more effective follow-through and learning transfer. In this lively and interactive session Andrew Jefferson, co-author of The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning and Getting Your Money's Worth from Training and Development, will explain what expectations have changed and what it will take to successfully reach the new finish line.

Andrew will focus on the six disciplines practiced by highly effective learning organizations that drive follow-through and learning transfer. Each discipline provides a key to unlocking effective execution, strategic implementation, and increased return on learning investments. more »

Few technologies or processes hold the enormous potential of Social Networking for changing organizations' Talent Management effectiveness. Indeed, a new "Next Practice" has emerged in which organizations can easily map the depth and strength of the connections between employees, customers and suppliers and then turn that information to their advantage. Yet little is known and understood about this powerful process. According to our latest research report entitled: "Where Social Network Analysis and Talent Management Intersect", the vast majority of HR and non-HR executives don't yet know about these techniques. This presents a real opportunity for early adopters to gain competitive advantage. In this webcast, we will present the results of this latest, cutting edge research and communicate:

• How Social Network Analysis (SNA) can impact and improve each element of the Talent Lifecycle, from recruiting and development to Leadership and performance management
• How Recruiting and Onboarding are the first two talent management areas where networking practices are making a profound difference
• How to get out in front of a practice that is likely to revolutionize talent management

   

  All attendees will receive a copy of this report. Join Allan Schweyer, Executive Director of the Human Capital Institute and Ben Willis, Director of Product Management of Saba as we discuss the key findings of our research and share actionable ideas and strategies for you to use in leveraging SNA in Talent Management.

Leveraging this mix facilitates high impact performance improvements, increases speed to rollout, and enables more cost-effective use of resources than "old school" courseware.

Changing workforce dynamics has impacted how teams create value for the enterprise. Achieving business results in a team-based environment requires an effective combination of disciplines and expertise, and success can be impacted by geography, technology, competing priorities, and team chemistry-to name a few. To ensure that teams function at a high level it becomes essential to assess the group's strengths and weaknesses and develop action plans for improvement. Bank of America, one of the world's largest financial institutions, has deployed an assessment-based approach focusing on their six pillars of team effectiveness (such as Clear Roles and Capabilities, and Necessary Resources) to evaluate, develop, and improve their teams. In this webcast you will learn about the key dynamics impacting team effectiveness in today's organizations, along with a powerful case study of how Bank of America has implemented their new team success program. more »
