A Leader’s Role In Improving Engagement

Live Webinar – June 22nd, 2016 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Presented by:  Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1  Category C  PDU – Free PDU

• Current e-learning is boring, ineffective and lacks motivation.
• Online training is just not engaging enough,
• The average completion ratio of courses is 25%.
• The ratio of employees who voluntarily enter training platforms is even worse.

And all this has a huge cost for any company.

But…how to increase the ‘engagement’ of your online training activities?

This webinar is the result of over 10 years of research and experience in the development of management skills (leadership, negotiation and time management) through game-based learning in more than 700 companies from all 5 continents.

After analyzing the impact of the video game as a training solution in more than 100,000 students worldwide, with a completion ratio of 90%, we offer you all the necessary steps to improve the engagement of your corporate training.

Throughout this session, Mak Kishun is going to show you why traditional e-learning no longer works and how to motivate your employees through something as simple as the game.

Through this webinar, you will learn:

1. How to turn training content into tools which are directly applicable to any professional profile through the game
2. How to avoid definitions, models and theories to offer truly useful skills through experiential learning
3. How to link the benefits of your training to the personal and professional success of your employees
4. How to turn your training solution into a fun, attractive and competitive challenge
5. And how to increase the engagement of your training, achieving a completion rate of 90% thanks to the use of video games

Speakers:  Dr. Mak Kishun (LinkedIn profile) has successfully helped organizations implement e-learning programs, tools, and platforms, but considers the Game-based learning initiative to the most effective and exciting learning approach in the world of training and development. She believes that game-based learning is transforming and meeting the needs of ALL learners and will far surpass traditional methods.

In today’s hyper-competitive environment, innovation and time to market are the key pillars for success.

While software in applications and embedded systems is emerging as the primary agent for innovation, it is also adding complexity.

Modern innovations such as Agile have proven to shorten product delivery, but come with their own set of challenges.

The ability to empower all stakeholders to collaborate in a unified development environment can solve many of these challenges and increase performance.

In this webinar Jiri Walek will provide you with an insightful view of applying industry best practices.

Learn how a unified tool can:

• Positively impact innovation and time-to-market through collaboration
• Give you full traceability
• Provide the advantages of electronic signatures
• Highlight the benefits of centralized reuse and variant management
• Provide the ability to utilize Agile throughout the Product Lifecycle

Presenter: Jiri Walek, (LinkedIn profile) VP Product Management, Polarion, brings 10+ years experience in software product management and engineering to Polarion. Previously, Jiri worked at Disnet Software, where he established a track record of successful projects initiatives. He also worked as a software developer and architect on visionary projects based on Meta-Object Facility standards and model-driven engineering. Jiri holds a master’s degree in Mathematics from the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.

So you’ve gone Agile, so that means that you no longer have to create comprehensive requirements documents, right?

Remember the agile manifesto says that the goal is “working software over comprehensive documentation.”

So because of that, we can’t be nimble if we take the time to put together the documentation, right?

WRONG!

This month, PROJECTinsight is going to give the real story about requirements in an Agile environment.

Requirements gathering and documentation doesn’t have to look the way it has always looked, but it must have some key elements. Learn how to foster creativity, yet communicate clearly how a change needs to be implemented.

In Part II of this session,  PROJECTinsight will have their experts at Core Performance Concepts  give feedback on the submissions and talk more about creative ways to capture and retain requirements in an agile environment, enabling organizations to be nimble in their development cycles.

Improving cash flow and reducing costs are often combined into contradictory supply chain objectives.

In addition to clarifying costs versus cash flow, this webinar provides a framework for approaching cost reduction by defining and providing insights into three supply chain costs: structural design costs, planning cost trade-offs and operating waste.

Discussion Topics:

• How to think differently about supply chain cost to make better decisions
• What structural cost is, and how it can be optimized
• How others have broken through traditional trade-offs to deliver increased performance and reduced cost
