108 Crafting Project Proposals That Align with the Business
2:00 PM - 2:45 PM Wednesday, March 15
Every day, L&D leaders work hard to partner with the business. They engage in conversations to gain the buy-in and funding to add new and emerging tech to their learning toolbox. Far too often, though, these conversations fall flat because leaders use L&D-speak instead of business speak and lack the confidence to ask for what they need.
This session provides:
- A simple framework for creating internal business plan proposals that win
- Techniques for developing empathy for the business by understanding their point of view and speaking their language
- Practice leveraging a story-based framework to deliver your solution in the context of what is most important to the business, resulting in improved communication and accelerated business buy-in for XR or any new tech
