Speaking Data: The Language of Impact and Behavior Change
L&D teams often report data accurately from learning needs assessments, surveys, or evaluations. This is a good first step! Taking it to the next level is about turning data into actionable insights for stakeholders. This session reframes data as a language, moving from semantic reporting (what each survey question literally says) to pragmatic meaning (insights interpreted in context to drive behavior change). You’ll see how to use AI and pattern analysis to identify meaningful patterns in your mix of quantitative and qualitative data. These “experience patterns” can then be integrated into a strategic behavior-change approach, such as MOJO (Motivation, Opportunity,…

Beyond Compliance: Using Learning Analytics to Drive Engagement & Impact
Many organizations struggle to move beyond compliance-based learning metrics, leaving valuable insights untapped. Traditional learning analytics often focus on course completions rather than engagement, retention, or business outcomes. This session will show how organizations can evolve their approach by integrating xAPI, Power BI, and Power Automate to track learner interactions beyond pass/fail metrics—including behaviors such as video engagement, resource downloads, and post-training actions. We will explore real-world case studies where learning analytics transformed business impact, shifting L&D from a cost center to a strategic partner. Through participation in hands-on exercises and discussions, you will leave with a blueprint for implementing…

Showing Value While You Build
Many L&D teams are expected to show value while programs are still being built, priorities are shifting, and resources are limited. This session focuses on how to communicate progress and impact during growth, not just after everything is complete. We will look at ways to talk about your L&D projects while they are still taking shape and how you can share early wins and progress in ways the leaders will trust. You’ll also learn how to set clear expectations with leaders during periods of change and communicate momentum without overselling results. We’ll explore practical examples and real scenarios, enabling you…

The L&D Metrics Hierarchy: Mapping Learning Data to Business Outcomes
Most L&D teams either track everything—or nothing at all. They collect dozens of metrics that don’t matter or rely on completion rates that say little to executives. In this hands-on session, I’ll introduce the L&D Metrics Hierarchy—a four-tiered framework developed to help Fortune 500 companies align learning metrics with business outcomes. As we explore each tier: Business Impact, Performance Outcomes, Learning Engagement, and Operational Efficiency, you will learn to use them to separate signal from noise. Together, we’ll learn to map your current metrics to strategic goals, uncover measurement gaps, and select the right visualizations to tell your story. You’ll…

Measuring What Matters: A Practical Starting Point for Learning Impact
Learning teams in every industry are under pressure to demonstrate impact, yet many struggle to move past completion and participation metrics without making measurement overly complicated. This session explores how AdventHealth prototyped a practical digital learning impact strategy using a 120-day baseline approach. Rather than pursuing perfect attribution, our approach focused on selecting a small set of meaningful metrics, establishing clear criteria for what to measure, and aligning learning to business priorities using existing, easy to gather data. This session will share the design decisions, assumptions tested, lessons learned, and how the approach evolved once theory met reality. You will…

Bring Your Data to Life with Dynamic Visual PowerPoint
Data is one of the core types of information you need to share with others, but in its raw form it can be anything but helpful. Often misleading, misinterpreted, or even irrelevant to the audience, data can be tricky to communicate effectively. In this session, you’ll see how to bring data to life. We’ll address strategies to use PowerPoint to approach data visualization and data storytelling based on your audience, your objective, the use case, and within any requirements set. You’ll explore techniques to create suitable graphs, charts, and diagrams that convey the key ideas in an elegant and memorable…
