Do we ever really manage time? It frequently feels like our work week manages us. The reality of effective time management isn’t to try and squeeze more and more productive minutes out of every day, but to find ways to focus energy and effort into those hours we allocate to work.

The number one focus in the learning field is workplace performance. And yet, too often, we default to old models of learning—even when we’re using the latest technologies. Even worse, we jump on the bandwagon of a new learning tool without aligning it to proven research-based learning methods.

New technology has drastically changed the way we learn, and employers are incorporating it frequently to more effectively engage their learners and reduce the time and costs of training.  In 2017, we’ll continue to see companies rapidly adopting new, innovative forms of learning. 

A single microlearning event lasts only a few minutes, but that doesn’t guarantee those minutes were well-spent. You want to create learning experiences that really have an impact, no matter what the size. So, when you need to design for brevity and quality, where do you start? Find answers to that question in this 60-minute webinar.

As video becomes more integral to how businesses communicate, how teachers teach, and how we all share ideas and information, many organizations are finding that now is the right time to review how they’ve managed video content in the past and how they plan to do so in the future. That’s because video is unlike any other content:   Different video recorders often produce different types of video files, many of which cannot be played back on other devices Video files are much larger than text documents and quickly exceed maximum file size restrictions on common LMS and CMS solutions And video files are traditionally impossible to search, limiting the value of any recording to anyone looking for specific content But even in the face of these challenges, the popularity of video is exploding. Academic institutions are individually recording 80,000 hours of video every year. 76% of executives already watch a business video at least weekly, and Gartner Research predicts in the next few years, every employee in every company will interact with video at work three times every day. The growing prevalence of video has prompted Forrester Research to recommend organizations "Plan for video content, not just videoconferencing." Doing so offers a variety of rewards, from reducing the cost of meetings and events, and improving training and executive communications, to enhancing remote employee engagement and encouraging internal social learning. Delivering those returns starts with finding the right video platform. For many organizations, however, this is a no small task. The video platform market is young by enterprise IT standards, meaning feature-for-feature comparisons can be difficult to research. And details crucial to successful implementation are all too often obfuscated by video technology standards and industry jargon. Finding your next video platform doesn’t have to be complicated. All you need are the right questions in your next Request For Proposal (RFP). A sharp video platform RFP will make it easy to sort out the contenders and spot the options that can best meet your video needs, both now and for the future. So what are the right questions to ask in a video platform RFP? Here are our top ten recommended (jargon-free!) inquiries to include.

Organizations that don’t encourage feedback are setting themselves up for failure. A Gallup report states that managers who don’t provide feedback fail to engage 98 percent of employees.

But how does HR infuse feedback into their company culture? Join us for a practical conversation about creating a feedback culture.

What is time management? A useful definition of time management might be, The ability to use one’s time effectively and efficiently. Now that’s sounds simple, right? If only accomplishing our goals was truly simple, all of us would likely be in better places both personally and professionally. However, the reality of our lives tends to create demands on our time that get in the way of effective and efficient uses of time. A fact that is inescapable about time is that it is finite. We simply cannot "manage" more time out of our day or lives. A day comes and goes, and no matter how much we’d like things to be different, each day lasts only 24 hours.  Therefore, in a very real sense, we can never "manage" time the way we manage other factors that influence our success at home or at work. We have to think about time differently if our goal is to be more effective and more efficient.

One of the top issues companies are tackling today is the readiness of new leaders as they join the leadership ranks and contribute to the success of the organization. As leaders can significantly impact people’s performance, developing the kind of leader whom people are drawn to follow is crucial. For this to happen, leaders must understand how integrity, resiliency, and courage are critical to the leadership role and be willing to put aside their own insecurities to inspire the people they lead. Your role as a training and development professional is central to developing the quality of leaders your company needs. In this webinar, we will help you sharpen your perspective on the critical skill set and mindset required of today’s leaders. We will share with you a framework to help you assess how you are addressing these two core leadership components in your development efforts.

The people and companies that stay ahead of the curve will continue to succeed. Those that don’t will become obsolete.
