The main skill of trainers and designers is to impart knowledge. But reflect upon this:
Do you simply explain content and bore learners to death or do you generate enthusiasm and engagement with a story? How do you distinguish what your true style is?

It is difficult to assess one’s self and find the right balance. It is even more difficult to shift skills and approach to become an effective storyteller.

Explainers tend to impact information while storytellers are equipped to help learners experience the information.

In this webinar, you will review and assess yourself using the “Trainer / Designer Style Self-Awareness Survey.” You will gain insights on how to transition your skills from being a boring explainer to a high-impact storyteller..

Topics to cover:

• Recognizing the art of story design and storytelling and its growing popularity in social learning, micro-learning, face-to-face presentation, in writing and multimedia
• The assessment value of the “Trainer/Designer Style Self-Awareness Survey”
• What to do to improve yourself
• Finding opportunities to impact learning by being a story designer

Attend the webinar and undertake the “Trainer/Designer Style Self-Awareness Survey.”

Joy Beatty will briefly describe how to define requirements for selecting a requirements management tool.

Joy also discusses how to define a requirements architecture for your requirements methodology and organization.

Finally, Joy Beatty suggest sways to overcome common road blocks of implementing a requirements management tool once selected – including dealing with tool limitations and user adoption challenges.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the level of requirements needed to select and implement a requirements management tool
2. How to design a requirements architecture that works within the tool and your methodology
3. How to effectively adopt a requirements management tool within your team by eliminating common challenges

There is a lot of promise in the Internet of Things (IoT) as a means to create business value, but there is also a lot of hype.

In fact, a recent Gartner survey found that unclear business benefits is the top barrier to IoT efforts overall.

In addition, since IoT is not a singular technology per se, but rather a general wave of technology, the opportunities to create value can vary considerably across industries, as well as between functional areas within an organization.

Clearly, there is a pressing need for an overarching business benefits framework that planners can use to identify where and how IoT can deliver business value, and to define and organize IoT initiatives.

To help those planning or considering IoT initiatives, Gartner’s IoT benefits framework covers both internal objectives such as operational efficiency improvements, and external objectives like generating revenues.

It can also be used to imagine the art of the possible for IoT, and to develop the business case for IoT. CIOs, IT leaders, business leaders with technology responsibilities in end-user organizations will find this webinar valuable for planning IoT initiatives. Technology and service providers interested in building more targeted IoT value propositions will benefit as well.

Join Gartner Research Director Chet Geschickter (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) as he helps you understand The Quest For IoT Business Value.

Discussion Topics:

• Gartner’s IoT benefits model and how it can be used to understand the potential for IoT
• Challenges for measuring and capturing IoT return on investment and strategies overcoming those challenges
• Advice on how to communicate and champion the business potential of IoT within your organization
