Management and Strategy
Hibiscus/Iris
L&D personnel, from learning leaders to instructional designers to technology innovators, all face a common challenge: how to secure executive buy-in for the tools and resources necessary to create powerful learning experiences.
In this session, you’ll learn how to outline a personalized game plan to get the resources for your specific learning organization model or tool. Whether you are creating an entirely new learning ecosystem or just gaining support for a new learning tool within an existing ecosystem, you will learn the “know, sell, and measure” strategy that successful L&D personnel use to gain commitment for learning solutions. You will explore your own learning model using the nine components of a learning ecosystem, learn techniques of getting and giving information for securing executive commitment to necessary resources, and provide proof of success with measurement.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to speak the language of business
- How to influence without authority
- How to get critical information using consulting techniques
- How to deliver relevant information with impact
- How to gain commitment with negotiation techniques
Audience:
Novice to advanced project managers, managers,
and directors.
