706 The Language of Business: Become a Trusted Performance Partner
8:30 AM - 9:30 AM Friday, October 25
Management and Strategy
Andros B
According to LinkedIn's first annual Workplace Learning Report, only 8 percent of CEOs see ROI for learning and development, yet over 90 percent of them feel that closing the skills gap by L&D would be a game-changer for their business. What is the first step to flipping this ratio? Shouldn't 90 percent of CEOs feel like their L&D programs instill real bottom-line performance in their organizations?
In this session you’ll explore two new templated processes—the Learning Ecosystem Canvas and the Behavior Catalog—and understand how they can help you in outlining the future value your L&D department will bring to employees and business units. You’ll learn how to use these tools to reframe conversations around the prioritization effort, budgets, and learner focus. By diving into the process and using a systematic approach, you’ll become equipped to have more productive conversations with C-levels and business units, and be seen as a trusted partner.
In this session, you will learn:
- To articulate the value that you’re delivering to your employees, and how to measure it
- Which partners you need in order to deliver change and performance for the business
- What is the most critical behavior for success in this specific business outcome
- How to hire and train talent so that they’re successful in your organization
- When you should bring in outside expertise, and how your business can support success in other ways
- What really drives behavior: compensation, management, or internal motivation?
Audience:
Managers, senior leaders (directors, VP, CLO, executive, etc.)
