“Here we go again. Another compliance training.” Oftentimes, this is the moan of many employees.

“Oh no. Long PowerPoints again.”

This is also what trainers and eLearning developers say when they deliver or develop hundreds of PowerPoint slides as compliance learning.

Both learners and trainers do compliance training because it is a “legally” mandated course.

Sadly, what is being missed is that this is supposed to be learning and training, not just adhering to compliance completions.

1. What are the killers and roadblocks to a “true learning” outcome from compliance training?
2. What do we do with them?

In this webinar, Ray will share ideas from his experience in creating more engaging compliance learning.

Topics to cover:

• How do you quickly spot the fundamental killers and roadblocks to “true learning”?
• How do you convert legalese and technical jargons into relatable content?
• How do you make compliance training engaging and still comply with the completion checks?
• How do you persuade your Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to help get rid of killers and roadblocks?

As organizations move from a traditional waterfall methodology to Agile; a question that is often asked is, “How do I begin to adapt from my current process documentation to an Agile approach?”

In this webinar Terrell Smith will explain how you can apply Agile documentation practices side by side with traditional documentation methods.

The two life-cycle methods, as they relate to documents, will be compared and contrasted.

You will receive practical guidance for project documentation, where a blend of both traditional waterfall and Agile projects may exist. The big question to be addressed is, “How does the documentation compare and how do I become more Agile?”

Discover:

• Parallel worlds: Agile and waterfall – documentation comparisons
• Moving to iteration-oriented development – Five levels of Agile planning
• A deeper look at Agile documentation
• Iteration zero – what kind of documentation?
• Agile documentation recommendations

How To Create Your Personal Group Of Mentors

Mentorship is so last year. Rather than seeking out a single mentor, the most successful leaders focus instead on building a circle of support — a diverse group of people with whom you consult regularly to get advice and feedback.

Having access to your own personal circle of support means that, no matter what the situation—personal or career-related—you always have someone whom you can count on for high quality support.

What You Will Learn:

In this webcast, Danielle Harlan,  will draw upon lessons from her book, The New Alpha: Join the Rising Movement of Influencers and Changemakers Who Are Redefining Leadership, to show you how to build your own circle of support—including who you should look for, how you can connect them in, and how they can help you.

Presenter: Danielle Harlan PhD, (LinkedIn profile) Founder/CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential and the author of The New Alpha: Join the Rising Movement of Influencers and Changemakers Who Are Redefining Leadership.  Danielle earned her doctorate in political science and MA in education from Stanford University, where she was a Jacob K. Javits National Fellow & received a Centennial Teaching Award for excellence in instruction. Prreviously Danielle was the Chief of Operations for the Carnegie Foundation, where she worked to harness the power of networks and quality improvement strategies. Named one of Silicon Valley’s “40 Under 40,” Danielle has also been a speaker for TEDx (Reimagining Leadership for the 21st Century) and worked as an instructor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and U.C. Berkeley Extension’s Corporate and Professional Development Program. In addition, she has given guest lectures at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (the “d.school”) and the Career Development Center at Stanford.

The Internet of Things demands a technical strategy that implements a portfolio of IoT solutions.

One IoT deployment does not make a strategy.  IoT technology, supplier and skill demands must be addressed proactively or they may create crushing technical debt.

In this webinar, Erik T. Heidt (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research VP examines the development of technical architecture as well as the procedural and organizational steps required to leverage it as the linchpin.

Discussion Topics:

• The advantages of driving technical strategy with target architecture
• Review of IoT, from edge to enterprise, highlighting important architectural considerations

The Skills Gap Is Growing, The Workforce Is Aging,
And Labor Shortages Are Looming!

Last year, nearly 70% of HR professionals reported difficulty recruiting for full-time positions.

While the war on talent is nothing new, now more than ever, organizations need to think outside the box when it comes to recruiting great people.

Attracting and retaining older workers as part of your recruiting mix can yield dividends in the areas of engagement, workforce stability, and cognitive diversity.
