Using the Learning Sciences to Gain a Competitive Advantage

In this session, long-time research-to-practice advocate Will Thalheimer will connect the dots between the learning sciences and competitive advantage. Based on the reasoning laid out in his new book, “The CEO’s Guide to Training, eLearning & Work: Empowering Learning for a Competitive Advantage,” Will will describe how the learning sciences can produce 100% improvements in learning results, how research-aligned notions can improve our learning designs, and how evidence-informed learning evaluation practices can capture data we can use to continually improve.
