This session is not about how to be a great trainer, or assign metrics, or how to design e-learning, or even how to get more buns in seats. It is about what your organization needs to do to ensure that people learn and use that learning to achieve business results - ROI.  There are two major considerations – training factors and organizational factors. Combined, they have the greatest overall impact on how learning contributes to business success.  We will review the critical considerations to accomplish both and share two powerful “best practices” case studies. 

Training factors require a purposeful framework for management and leadership development that provides continuous learning, reinforcement, and application. Unlike many interventions that piece together disparate pieces of various vendor solutions, an effective framework considers the “missing links” between learning experiences and job application. Some would describe this as creating a fine tapestry versus a poorly constructed patchwork quilt. The key question for you is: “Do you have a quilt or fine tapestry?”

The organizational factors are the “5As”:

1. Alignment

2. Anticipation

3. Alliance

4. Application

5. Accountability

This is the time, more than ever, to re-examine your training function and make all of your learning interventions (classes, simulations, e-learning, coaching, internships, etc.) more efficient and effective.  By applying diligent attention to the effective integration of organizational and training factors, you can immediately identify areas for improvement that will help you achieve your business goals.

Join us to learn:

·         The keys to creating a comprehensive leadership development framework, using a multi-vendor approach.

·         How to integrate tools that assist in the transfer of learning experiences to job performance.

·         How the 5As will impact your results and visibility within your organization.

·         How true ROI can be realized by considering both training and organizational factors.

This webinar has been designed for:

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary leadership—and, therefore, leadership development. Yet believers in development are finding their advocacy falling on ears understandably deafened by the economic crisis.

Ironically, this is a unique time to develop leadership throughout your organization. Think about the opportunities...

• Individuals' views of the world and perceptions of themselves are shaken, therefore unfrozen - and may be more open to positive change than ever before.
• As we emerge from the recession, the war for top talent will be engaged at an even more fevered pitch; investment enhances satisfaction and retention.
• Your company's investment in leadership can be an accelerator of recovery and growth.

How do we make the case for leadership development in this environment? During this session, we will explore several of CCL's development methodologies, practices, and research to help fellow believers craft their case for this critical investment.

What Will Participants Learn:

Participants in this webinar will learn:
