In fact\, 87 percent of managers surveyed wished they had received more training when becoming a leader\, according to a 2016 by Grovo. Those that do provide training often rely on online self-training that may prove difficult to their day-to-day operations. In this webinar\, you will learn how we went from a traditional classroom-led new leader training to a six month interactive blended learning experience. \nLeveraging this model\, we have been able to: \nProvide new leaders with opportunity to develop their leadership skills and provide a safe space to practice key moments that matter.\nDrive greater efficiency and effectiveness in facilitation while reducing costs.\nDeliver standardized training experience at scale and globally.

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. \nBut 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. \nDamage 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. \nImpacts of Organizational Relevance include: \nFor the Individual: \nElevates their awareness of the needs of all groups within the organization\nBroadens their visibility to the core operations in support of its’ needs\nCreates improved job satisfaction and belonging\nFor the Organization:\nStrengthens the working relationships across all disciplines and improves retention\nFosters Talent Development\nDrives performance through common focus between individuals and groups URL:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/event/8-principles-of-organizational-relevance/ CATEGORIES:CLO Spotlight Webinar,Technology,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/1210_EDIT.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191017T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191017T150000 DTSTAMP:20191003T201814Z CREATED:20191003T201814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191003T201814Z UID:80657-1571320800-1571324400@www.chieflearningofficer.com SUMMARY:Micro\, Mobile and Measured: Our Learning Beyond the Classroom Strategy for the iGen Workforce DESCRIPTION: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.\nThe digital transformation from traditional instructor-led training to self-guided delivery of iGen-friendly content has been a continuous improvement journey.

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:\n• Culture trumps competencies: You cannot teach that which is not reinforced.\n• Building one transitional leadership development at a time is a fool’s errand. Commit to concurrent development\, or don’t bother.\n• 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.

As technology evolves\, skills will become increasingly obsolete\, making it critical that Learning leaders prepare their organizations for today\, tomorrow\, and beyond by reimagining traditional learning frameworks and equipping their workers with the new skills and capabilities to succeed in this digitized workplace ecosystem. To keep up with the rapidly evolving digital landscape\, the skills and capabilities of the “Professional of the Future” must be accurately forecasted\, intentionally developed and continuously refined. Learning needs to be dynamic\, agile and embedded in the flow of work\, enabling the professionals of the future to embrace the art of the possible. This session focuses on the technical skillsets and innately human capabilities core to the professional of the future and how reskilling can provide employees the opportunity to take on meaningful\, enriching work in support of an organization’s mission and vision.

During the webinar we will take a pragmatic look at how partnering across an organization can create greater synergy in each of these strategic functions and align the activities to complement one another in reaching strategic goals. No matter if your organization is decentralized or centralized in its approach for attracting\, developing and deploying talent effectively\, the concepts discussed can be utilized in any structure. L&D functions have struggled for so long with determining how to show impact to their organizations\, and through this session we will work to bring the “how” into greater focus.

DESCRIPTION: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 re¬quires 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. \nWe 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.

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. \nL&D Challenges in the Digital Age:\nOrganizations including newly funded startups and large corporations struggle to find a balance between the learning and development needs of the organization and those of employees who want to be more effective. How do they create\, curate and deliver the right experiences in time and on budget? How do we meet business goals\, personal goals and find the right measures to ensure we are doing so effectively and efficiently? This isn’t simply a matter of cutting through the clutter of myriad leadership development courses\, social media links or compliance training. It’s a matter of developing learning pathways that are purpose built to enable skills that are linked to professional and personal progress. It’s as much about what NOT to learn and how to build sequentially on foundational knowledge. \nSolutions That Work:\nWhile different industries need different flavors of digital learning — more or less focused on compliance\, in-person experiences or specific skills — the core principles for finding a solution are common:\n• Digital learning platforms must include a feedback loop that takes into account learner input in building and adapting the learning experience. This can be in real time or over time but it’s essential.\n• Digital learning experience must be sponsored as a core business initiative from the top down\, not just a functional nice-to-have perk to refine leadership\, ensure compliance or improve skills.\n• Digital learning programs cannot be one-size-fits-all. Each organization needs to balance in-person with digital learning experiences that are appropriately mapped by role\, geography\, culture and desired outcome. For example\, deep technical training such as learning a new programming language works best via online modules while subjects that require nuanced application and buy-in like business strategy are best taught face to face. \nDeploying artificial intelligence within a digital experience can facilitate the above solutions. Organizations that focus on this now and implement state-of-the-art AI in learning solutions will jump ahead of competitors who are relying only on traditional L&D programs. \nWhy AI Matters: Examples From the field:\nNew technology\, skills and roles development are emerging far faster than traditional HR programs can keep up — either in creating content or scheduling traditional training sessions. No sooner has one program been fully executed than the next needs to be deployed. Additionally\, organizations themselves are under pressure to adapt to the digital transformation of their services; it is a “do or die” moment — either one adapts or one goes the way of companies like Kodak. Examples of successful implementations of doing this kind of new AI-enabled learning solution include IBM’s Think Academy and Ketchum’s Race to Make It Real initiative. \nKey Takeaways:\nAnyone in the learning and development field will take away the following key points: \n1. Digital learning is a team sport that includes cross-functional support from other functions such as communication\, marketing and IT.\n2. The key to building engaging programs is to lay out the navigation pathways for goal-based learning that connects personal and strategic business needs for growth.\n3. Successful L&D programs are led in the context of a broader organizational framework that foster and reward continuous learning and sharing of knowledge.\n4. All of the above depend on understanding of AI technology and how it can enable learning that meets the challenge of the future.

Listening deeply to leaders\, managers and employees\, Adobe’s employee experience team abolished the annual performance review process for a light-weight performance management approach that provided more flexibility in a fast-paced environment. Adobe’s approach\, called Check-in\, removed complexity and bureaucracy that didn’t serve the business but focused on the “critical few” activities that supported business growth. This wasn’t just a process change but a different level of engagement from leaders\, managers and employees with a greater sense of ownership and responsibility. \nAngela Szymusiak will share the underlying philosophies behind the design\, how Adobe integrated Check-in into its people practices and the change management strategies used for a successful implementation URL:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/event/managing-performance-modern-workforce/ CATEGORIES:CLO Spotlight Webinar,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/6.19_EDIT-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180613T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180613T150000 DTSTAMP:20171206T043408Z CREATED:20171206T043408Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171206T043408Z UID:80538-1528898400-1528902000@www.chieflearningofficer.com SUMMARY:Shadow a Leader - An Innovative Capstone Approach for your HIPO Leadership Development Program DESCRIPTION:Challenge: Previously\, at the conclusion of our leadership development program\, participants were assigned to a group “capstone project.” After several cohorts of project work\, we reassessed the pros and cons of the capstone approach and developed a brand-new approach titled “Shadow a Leader.” \nShadow a Leader: In addition to the employee coach each participant worked with throughout the 12-month program\, each participant was assigned to a current leader who they “shadowed” for 3 months. The positive results were multifaceted for the participants\, the coaches and the “shadowed” leaders: \n\nParticipants were able to immediately apply the learnings from the program in “real world” company dynamics.\nParticipants who then became managers reported that they got up to speed much more quickly than those who had not gone through the program.\nThe coaches reported that they learned just as much as the participants and both coaches and “shadowed” leaders felt reinvigorated as leaders. The program increased their own engagement with our organization.\nFinally\, as each new cohort progresses through the program\, there are many more executives sharing “ownership” in the program.\n\nIn this session\, attendees will discover: \n\nA simple road map to incorporate the “Shadow a Leader” into their own Leadership Development Program.\nA list of questions that participants had to answer during their “Shadow a Leader” experience.\nA template for the final presentation on the experience the cohort delivered to the senior leadership team.\nCapstone ideas from other participants on the webinar.

As a result\, business\, technology\, marketing and design strategies must be aligned and focused on the overall experience to drive innovation forward. \nBy 2020\, experience will overtake price and product as the key differentiator. The experience is about the entire ecosystem from how people discover products or services well beyond single interactions across touchpoints. Creating experiences people love requires a shift in traditional thinking. Companies can no longer rely on customer loyalty or market share as primary drivers for customers to purchase their products. \nRecognizing this opportunity\, Andy Vitale\, director of user experience at Polaris Industries\, will address how to create experiences that empower the learners that engage with them\, the teams that build them\, and the businesses that provide them. Drawing from his experience\, he will share insights and tactics to craft experiences that provide value and a measurable business impact. \nAttendees will learn to: \n\nIdentify what makes an experience valuable.\nUnderstand how to provide increased value to your audience.\nLeverage KPIs to measure the value of an experience.
