The number one concern of CEOs today, is their organizations' ability to attract and retain top talent. In the same vein, 94% of employees say they'd stay with a company longer if it invested in their future. As the workforce becomes more multi-generational, learning and development opportunities are increasing in demand. But, to make a measurable and valuable impact, your L&D program needs to meet the needs of your entire organization.

Video is a unique beast. It's more engaging than a training manual, but sharing it on your LMS (or worse, on YouTube) can create problems. It helps you scale your training worldwide, but every new recording is a pain to produce. And it would be ideal for just-in-time learning, if only it could be effectively searched.

Compliance courses are tedious and difficult to learn. They are full of legal citations, policies, procedures, rules and regulations that learners tune of in the first few pages or seconds of the lessons.

Jane Hart published a study on the "least and most valued learning" (http://bit.ly/2xBQjyH). The study suggests that work experience is the most valued way to learn. However, most L&D designers, developers and leaders have no clue how to "package" or "templatize" work experience sharing to make it organized, easy, repeatable and trackable learning method. Being unable to do this causes a huge missed opportunity for learners to improve their expertise and knowledge.

Everyone wants good sales coaching, but it's not easy to get stakeholders aligned on how to do it. Where's the disconnect, and what can you do about it? Join Henry Bruckstein, Founder of Canam Research, and Jake Miller, product marketing manager at Allego, to learn important insights from the new 2019 State of Sales Coaching survey.

How is your 2019 training budget treating you? It's early in the year, and many L&D managers and directors are figuring out how to best apply their budget to their annual goals. Many of us have limited funds, so we start asking ourselves questions like the following:

Welcome to the eLearning tool slug-fest. In this corner, it's Adobe Captivate. Over there? It's Articulate Storyline. And because this isn't a two-tool fight, look over there and you'll see TechSmith Camtasia. Attend this power hour and see demonstrations of all three tools.

Management can be, well, difficult to manage. In too many organizations the term itself is a synonym for unnecessary paperwork and uninformative meetings, conjuring an image somewhere between befuddled bureaucrat and dominating parent. But the real function of management - it's highest function - is to keep the organization on track, constantly adjusting resources, activities, and priorities so that the highest priority outputs are delivered despite significant, unforeseeable changes along the way. If you're running a management team you need everyone working together on your higher-level goals, not creating silos and arguments among themselves.

For years cellphones (now called smartphones!) have been the bane of trainers. But not anymore. With the right tools, trainers can turn smart devices into powerful learning tools. In this session, Bob will both share - and model for you strategies that he will be using in his pre-conference workshop and other sessions at the Training Conference -- and you'll get to experience how the methods can be used even in a webinar.

What if you had templates of beautiful slides that were usable in most situations? You could replace the images and the text and have a great slide in no time? That's what you'll get in this webinar.

Employee engagement has become a global dilemma that has cost companies billions of dollars due to lack of profit and productivity. One of the reasons this dilemma has grown so much is because many companies confuse "engagement" with "satisfaction." While there is some overlap between the two, most employee engagement initiatives don't get to the real root causes of disengagement issues, so they never see the results they want.

The purpose of training is to get results. And training is a process, not an event. It begins long before people show up in class (either virtual or face to face) and continues until we see results back on the job.

A generation of instructional designers have found great value in the ADDIE model because it provides a useful framework for development. That framework gets a much-needed update with the ADDEDD model, a fresh take on the planning process that incorporates Agile methodology. As new technologies enter the picture, including prototyping and frequent client communications will grow in importance.

Video is a unique beast. It's more engaging than a training manual, but sharing it on your LMS (or worse, on YouTube) can create problems. It helps you scale your training worldwide, but every new recording is a pain to produce. And it would be ideal for just-in-time learning, if only it could be effectively searched.

In our hectic, evolving whitewater world of work, challenges abound; but so do the opportunities. Today's employees are expected to meet the ever-changing and fluid needs of the modern workplace with a set of collaborative and cross-functional skills. Yet many traditional Learning & Development (L&D) solutions fail to prepare this generation through "deep learning" and this mistake becomes even more costly when it comes to those in leadership roles. Employees fail to benefit from experiential learning and the unlimited growth potential that exists because organizations do not nurture this capability or create the space for employees to properly apply it.

We all know succession planning is crucial to our organization's sustainability. Yet many of us are not investing in it. Why? In part, because the debate about how to spot talent and who to develop is an ongoing one. This webinar will provide you with strategies to spot and grow your talent pipeline.

When Johnson & Johnson adopted a three-tier model for the finance function, a major transformation effort was required. J&J historically operated with consumer products, medical devices and pharmaceutical products as separate business units in 70+ countries. The shift to a shared service required transformation and standardization that impacted people, processes, and organizational structure, enabled by new technologies. This change also presents issues from a talent perspective — and the Learning & Development function has played a key role in driving new skills, interactions and how finance professionals learn.

Companies spend around $90 billion dollars annually on non-cash incentive programs. Yet, even among the most admired companies, satisfaction with recognition is almost always among the lowest rated items on employee opinion surveys. With so much investment, why is there so little return?

Engagement is one of the most common demands for L&D professionals struggling to get more buy-in from an ever-busier workforce. There are hundreds of tactics and strategies that are credited with enhancing engagement, but which of them really have the potential to work.  In this session, Katrina Baker, Adobe Sr. eLearning Evangelist will explore three engagement enhancement options and discuss their potential to drive engagement and learning culture in your organization. You’ve probably heard about the benefits of learner engagement. This webinar goes beyond theory and focuses on what gamification, user-generated content and social learning LMS features can do for your training program.

Have you heard this "training is just wasted time" complaint from learners and leaders? Sadly yes. Most training and learning programs are time-wasters. They suck the life out of learners' energies, time and enthusiasm - consequently, we cause them to fail in their work. The single biggest reason is our compulsion to "force train" or "force feed" ALL of the content we feel they must learn.

Scenario-based learning is a proven effective method for learning using complex real-life situations. However, the effort and technology to develop scenarios have often appeared to be too complex, expensive, and time-consuming. Today though, authoring tools have advanced to make designing and developing robust scenarios to be easier and more efficient than ever before.

According to statistics that address our domestic government workforce rapidly aging, virtual reality can be a lifesaver when it comes to providing a dynamic and effective tool to improve memory retention in the aging workforce. It's proven that people, especially older people, learn by doing and this is exactly where VR can make a huge impact in your organization.
