Enabling Your Enterprise with High Impact Learning

Date: Wednesday, March 21st Time: 7:00 am PDT/ 10:00 am EDT
Speaker: David Mallon, Learning Analyst, Bersin & Associates
Dynamic trends are shaping big changes in learning in the workplace. New highly flexible internal communications, social networking, knowledge portals and mobile devices enable unprecedented interconnectedness and mobility. At the same time, budget limitations, changing strategic priorities and shifting demographics have left many organizations with a talent shortage and moved them to recognize that key overall performance outcomes such as productivity, customer service, and cost control all rely on strengthening the organization’s collective ability and will to learn. Learning and Development is at a crossroads, prompting questions about what’s required structurally to advance organizational learning, deep specialization and talent mobility. David Mallon will share highlights from Bersin & Associates’ 2011 study on The High-Impact Learning Organization. He will provide examples of large, complex organizations, including Deloitte, IBM, Thomson Reuters Knowledge, that are driving significant operational improvements with innovative approaches to employee learning. This Town Hall-style presentation will encourage questions and discussion. Participants will gain an updated understanding of: capability development and integrated talent management, continuous learning, mobile learning, virtual classrooms and evolution of learning outsourcing. |

Speakers: Michael G. Winston, David S. Sullivan and Sharon M. Doyle, MW & Associates Consulting
Especially during this period of unprecedented change, our view is that a business rises and falls based on the quality of its talent at all levels of the organization. Exemplary practices in cultivating and managing talent can lead to sustainable competitive advantage. Innovation is the lifeblood of any business. Whether it is a groundbreaking invention or an incremental change in process, innovation is about generating new ideas that will give a company's products and services a competitive edge. Great leaders are continually monitoring performance on these issues… Do we have a clear, compelling vision? Do we have a winning strategy for competitive advantage? Do we have the best team in place? Do we have the best person for every single job within the company? Are we getting all the results from our people that we could? Are they working together to leverage team strengths? Are their activities aligned with the strategic focus?” That is what they focus on. They are committed to transforming the players and culture to take the company to the next level. The opportunity to take a lead role in creating and sustaining a world-class architecture to attract, develop and retain best-of-breed talent and create organization efficiencies is compelling. Success in this area will create a "talent-magnet" effect that will continue to attract exemplary performers. This session gives tools, strategies and practices to enable outstanding performance in these areas
