The Kirkpatrick® Model is the most-used training evaluation model in the world. This does not, however, mean that it is always implemented correctly. What does misapplication put at risk? The image that training holds in many organizations, the future of your training department and, ultimately, your job.

Barbara Giamanco, one of the first evangelists of leveraging social media in sales, wakes you up to the reality of selling in today’s digitally driven marketplace. Buyer behavior has changed with CEB reporting that customers do early stage research on products, people and companies 57% of the time before engaging sales. This shift in buyer behavior and expectations heightens the need for salespeople to implement a social selling strategy to achieve measurable results. The problem is that many sellers are using social selling tactics to short-cut the selling process leading to wasted time and no solid ROI.

Are you tasked with creating a certification program? Training Magazine’s Annual Salary Survey trends say that 24% of survey respondents intend to create a certification for their employees, leaders, suppliers, vendors, or customers.

Many learning specialists and leaders have very limited time to plan and organize regular and scheduled formal coaching sessions. Instead coaching is done in micro events - as needed, as it happens, in conversations and usually in combination with Web tools and mobile devices. In these situations, micro-coaching becomes the only link between learners and workers and their leaders or trainers. The success of micro-coaching, therefore, leads to better performance.

If you are just getting started in eLearning, or just starting to need to track and report the results of quizzes and learning interactions, the world of Learning Management Systems and other solutions for course deployment and tracking can seem overwhelming. Join Dr. Allen Partridge, Sr. Adobe eLearning Evangelist, for this kinder and gentler introduction to basic concepts in Learning Management. 

Join Dr. Pooja Jaisingh, Sr. Adobe eLearning Evangelist, to hear about her experiences at Training 2016 Conference about the new learning trends, session highlights, expo buzz, and being a part of the technology test kitchen. She will also discuss why storyboards are a must for creating eLearning courses and how you can save tons of time by starting with a storyboard instead of jumping right into eLearning course development.

Delivering learning to employees is only the first key step in improving performance. Employees have to retain the gains in knowledge and skill, or the time, energy and effort that went into the program was for nothing - wasted.

Does your personal expectation of learning align with how you learned 10, 20, or even 30 years ago?  Of course not.  Because you are a modern learner!  You have a choice in how you learn, and so do the learners you're developing and designing training content for.

Learning trends sound great conceptually; yet provide a myriad of challenges when putting them into action.  Come join us for this very unique event where you are part of the experience, either creating and/or observing application of important learning innovations, including:

The #1 challenge salespeople face is getting to their decision-makers quickly. Seasoned reps recognize that getting a meeting before clients know they have a need is even more critical. Some people say it takes seven to 12 touches to reach prospects. Is that how you want your team spending their time?

What happens when you fit every employee in your company into one of two divisions: sales or sales support? Suddenly, everyone knows his or her "real" job is to create customer and coworker experiences that drive sales. This shift in perception will drive every decision your employees make. Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey built the iconic Barefoot Wine (a top global brand) using this simple business structure. 

As L&D professionals, we strive to create and implement learning and development solutions that equip leaders, managers, and individual contributors to perform at their best. Despite the fact that we know training events on their own aren’t enough to ensure lasting performance improvement, it is easy to get caught up in the pressure to push out programs quickly while neglecting the factors that dictate whether the learn­ing will improve performance. Genuinely enhancing individual and organizational results requires leveraging best practices for successful implementation.

This event featuring coaching thought leader Tim Hagen will cover very specific strategies associated with the art of engagement. Participants in this session will emerge understanding the Four Levels of Engagement and how training leaders and their managers utilize these principles to foster greater trust, talent development, and employee retention.

Many companies approach orientation like it's a formality. It has to be done, but no one wants to waste too much time on it. So, new employees are ushered in, given a quick tour of the office and a rundown of the benefits offered, and then they're expected to get right to work. It seems leaders assume that more detailed information on things like the company's processes and customers will simply be absorbed by new hires as they go along.
