How we connect as humans has rapidly evolved as we interact more and more in digital environments. As organizations reimagine the digital and virtual experiences they offer to their workforce, it’s important to design these around people and recognize that technology is created by humans to solve for human problems.
<h6 class="font-weight-bold mb-0">Discussion we will explore together:</h6>
In this interactive session, we will explore how new thinking about technology, skills, and formats come together to deliver on the promise of virtual learning to develop critical business skills, create human connections, and shape corporate culture.

The human-centered era of leadership has arrived. In this ever-evolving era, managers are challenged to adapt–and often rewire–how they lead their team. Learn from the experience of Oshkosh Corporation’s OD practitioners as they share ways in which their organizations are fostering this leadership evolution.

As your organization strives to develop a culture of continuous learning by developing coaching strategies and fostering a collaborative working environment, we’ll look at how Oshkosh Corporation is engaging co-workers, communities of practice, learn by doing, and various microlearning solutions to unlock continuous learning for the digital age.
<h6 class="font-weight-bold m-0">Learning Together:</h6>

✅ Integrate coaching strategies with technology-based platforms able to scale a culture of continuous learning and feedback.

✅ Tap a rich body of knowledge workers' peer coaching + feedback to help management scale knowledge retention &amp; skill-building.

Executive Learning Exchange (ELE)

Talent leaders commonly ask themselves, “Am I making an impact on the business?”. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to know the answer to that question as well. Effective now, all US public companies are required to report the material value of their human capital. What does this mean for the L&amp;D function?
<h6 class="font-weight-bold m-0">What we will Explore Together:</h6>
Building data-driven talent strategies should include basics such as:

✅  What’s the ROI on the initiative?

✅  How are companies (L&amp;D Dashboard / KPI's) reporting today?

✅  How will L&amp;D measure and report human capital value from now on?

We will discuss all of these critical questions during this session to clarify how to stay compliant with the SEC mandate.

Session Focus: How do you measure the effectiveness of your leadership training?


Measuring the impact of people-investments, such as learning and talent development initiatives, is a widespread practice in leading organizations. However, there is still some uncertainty as to HOW to do this measurement. As learning practitioners, we have the opportunity to model the analytic mindset, but we might not know where to begin. Newton Moore is curious how other organizations are measuring the effectiveness of your leadership training.

What we will explore together :
The importance of using evidence-based techniques to measure impact using objective data to counteract biases.

Abbott’s growing business and expansion into emerging markets has resulted in a greater emphasis on developing our leaders. Abbott’s business leaders expect that ALD, Abbott’s Learning, and Development, will provide the same learning experience to all managers across different geographies.
Our challenge has been to ensure that we design content to meet global needs and, at the same time, can accommodate cultural/local requirements in each of our markets. Also, we have had to develop cost-effective and efficient processes around implementation.
Michael and Rich will share their experience in designing and delivering global courses. You will learn how Abbott’s Learning and Development team has used worldwide design and implementation planning processes to provide classes in 55 countries across the globe.
The session will cover:

<ul>
 	<li>Initial Challenges</li>
 	<li>Global Design and Implementation Process</li>
 	<li>Insights from Global Design Process</li>
 	<li>Insights from Executing Implementation</li>

Accelerating organizations need accelerating leadership development. As a result, the demands on learning and organizational development professionals are also accelerating. This panel discussion will explore real-world scenarios on how learning leaders are helping to drive business results through accelerated leadership development.
To help guide the roundtable discussion, our facilitator, Haydn Shaw, a Business Execution facilitator at FranklinCovey, will focus questions and recommend the roundtable conversation on some of the following discussion points :

<ul>
 	<li>What accelerating demands from the business are you facing?</li>
 	<li>How are you accelerating your team's transitions toward more strategic business partnerships?</li>
 	<li>How are you accelerating leadership development in your organization?</li>
 	<li>How do you engage your leadership and management to support the leadership development process?</li>
 	<li>What have you done to drive results when you have not had strong leadership and management support for the leadership development process?</li>
 	<li>How do you measure if your leadership development processes are driving business results?</li>
 	<li>How are your teams transforming your function FROM: Measuring success through execution of activities … TO: Measuring success through the impact of business outcomes?</li>
 	<li>We all stub our toes. What's the most important lesson you've learned of what not to do in measuring results, driving business results, or accelerating leadership development?</li>
</ul>

Effective evaluation and measurement of learning and development initiatives is critical to maximise the impact of training, identify gaps for improvement and ensure that efforts are aligned to the business' needs. Learning Analytics outlines how analytical approaches can respond to these challenges, the types and benefits of technological solutions and how to ask the right questions of organizational data in order to build a learning organization that boosts performance and competitive advantage.
Drawing upon case studies from organizations who have applied such approaches such as The Gap, Hilton Worldwide University and Seagate Technology, Learning Analytics will enable those involved in learning and development to make the business case for their activities and deliver an evidence-based service to their organizations. Alongside updated chapters on learning technology tools and moving beyond learning analytics to talent management analytics, this second edition also features new content on measuring informal learning, increasing data literacy, and framing L&amp;D's contributions through a portfolio evaluation approach.

HR and other leaders cannot afford to overlook the power and competitive advantages of data-driven decision-making and strategies. This book reflects the growing trend of CEOs choosing analytics-minded business leaders to head HR, at a time when workplaces everywhere face game-changing forces including automation, robotics and artificial intelligence. It is urgent that human resources leaders embrace analytics, not only to remain professionally relevant but also to help their organizations successfully navigate this digital transformation.

The Data-Driven Leader

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth.

Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?)

Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.
