“Awaken the Sleeping Giants” poignantly speaks to the pivotal role HR plays at this crucial time. Through a deeper understanding of the upcoming talent shortage and its future implications, HR will be compelled to claim their place at the boardroom table. It will mean partaking in company direction, strategy and equipping the corporate culture with the “Attraction Factor”. HR will have to “stand in the gap” to create a sea-change in thinking, new levels of conscious intention and developing company culture by design rather than by default.

This powerful talk is a must-attend for HR Professionals interested in their organization’s survival.

The Competing Values Framework (CVF) provides a fully validated process to reveal the core cultural values that are motivating the employee behaviors in your organization. The CVF provides a practical approach to profiling organizational culture by measuring the relative emphasis placed on four universal values.

Join Dan Danner and Gordon Carter who will outline in this session that by employing this process, it will allow your organization to develop insights about how their underlying value system influences overall cultural behavior. The ability to “see” how underlying values influence employee behaviors allows leadership to determine how they might leverage, or shift their cultural profile to support strategic organizational initiatives.

In order for organizations to increase the effectiveness of their learning programs, they first have to benchmark the learning transfer and performance impact of each one. Many organizations have a number of implemented learning programs that have been in place for years, but sometimes have little-to-no evidence that they truly impact performance. The days of that scenario are numbered, as learning analytics and business impact metrics become more prevalent.

This session will include a case study showing how leveraging new learning models, including online simulations and game-based elearning, increased proficiency in critical soft skills/business skills over previously-implemented traditional learning programs.

Same skills, taught differently, resulted in improved performance.

Flipped learning—courseware and recorded content serving as the initial element of a learning experience, with live virtual sessions and social and collaborative tools supplementing and enhancing the learning experience—has the potential to increase learning effectiveness, lower operational costs, and get better retention and more effective application of the learning. The model has created tremendous buzz in the education community, but is it viable for business learning? We believe that effective use of the flipped learning model can transform business learning, improve learning outcomes, and reduce operational costs. Participants in this session will examine the flipped classroom model, learn how to build one, and hear case studies of businesses that are now delivering in this new model.

Restless Gen-Y workers - often faced with unfulfilling or static positions - frequently leave their posts within two years.

How can corporations retain young workers? In this presentation geared toward HR leaders and managers, speaker Dan Schawbel shares advice, research, case studies (including Sodexo, Ernst & Young, Intel, DreamWorks, and more), and examples to illustrate how employers can both attract and manage Gen-Y workers to allow them to rise up to leadership positions instead of leaving for other opportunities.
