CANCELLED: Does your learning platform align and engage with your overall human capital strategy?
Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (U.S. & Canada)

Presented by:

Michael Rochelle
Chief Strategy Officer and a Co-founder of AC Growth

Learning and development processes and systems have come a long way. Their impact on professional development has been monumental. But are companies getting all the juice for their squeeze on learning platforms? To optimize performance of any learning platform, a company must reflect on its overall human capital/talent management strategy and culture. Creating a learning focused organization requires understanding your people in the environment you have created for them. Have you created an atmosphere for learning? More importantly, have you created a culture that promotes making mistakes? Do your people embrace or dislike technology? Do you promote transparency and collaboration? Do you have a culture that supports entertaining new ideas from inside and outside the organization?
 
This presentation will lead the participants on a journey to better understand the environmental challenges and opportunities for creating a learning-focused environment. It will be a highly interactive presentation covering strategic and tactical concepts, constructs, and tools. The information presented is based on key research that has been developed by the AC Growth team.

Duration: Two hours
