Online Webinar – Recorded  August 1st, 2019
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider: Training Magazine Network

Whether it’s an online meeting, a presentation via webinar, or live online training, engagement is the main question on everyone’s mind:

Will it be worth my time to attend, or
Will it be an opportunity to check email instead?

Online meeting technology is powerful and has made it easy to connect with people from anywhere in the world at any time, yet  professionals often still struggle with getting everyone to interact.

Interaction is the answer to successful engagement and using the features of the platform is the answer to interaction.

However, the features alone do not engage the participants. It is what you choose to do with those features that will make the difference in your next virtual training, webinar, or meeting.

During this session, you will learn what you can do to be successful in the virtual environment and avoid having everyone ask for a recording or a copy of the slides five minutes into your next virtual event.

In this session:

• You’ll analyze the activities demonstrated and brainstorm where the techniques could be applied to your virtual training programs.
• You’ll explore the specific challenges of managing the technology, and brainstorm solutions to the engagement problems you are likely to experience with your live online attendees when technical problems arise.

Activities are the key to your success. Through them you’ll learn to manage the technology, get attendees to actively engage, and help presenters have a great time too!

Application on the Job

• Define virtual learner engagement to effectively design the appropriate activities.
• Analyze activities for specific engagement techniques and feature usage to apply to your own activity design.
• Create your own customized activities for immediate use in your virtual classroom programs.

Effective decision making keeps getting more difficult.

In a recent Gartner survey, 65% of respondents said the decisions they make are more complex than just two years ago, and 53% said they face more pressure to explain or justify their decisions.

Your organization must bring together an array of increasingly complex techniques to make ever-faster decisions that leverage a maelstrom of data in ecosystems that are in constant motion.

To improve the outcome of your decision models and accommodate uncertainty factors, organizations combine artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for maximum flexibility and business differentiation.

Decision intelligence promotes the sustainability of cross-organizational decisions by building models that use principles aimed at enhancing their traceability, replicability, relevance and trustworthiness.

In this webinar Pieter J. den Hamer (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst will help you instill better decision intelligence so your organization can make more impactful data-driven decisions.

Discussion Topics:

• Learn the elements that increase the complexity of decision ecosystems
• Explore how decision techniques are combined to address complex decisions
• Discover how decision modeling addresses the new decision-making challenges

The times they are a changing (as the song goes)…and so are some leadership development trends and best practices in response to tremendous challenges in the last year.

Sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, spending on leadership development decreased as many organizations diverted funds to convert in-person training to virtual learning, Training magazine’s 2021 Annual Leadership Development Survey Report found.

Social justice concerns helped to vault Diversity and Inclusion from 12th to third on the list of highest-ranked priority skills.

For the fifth year, Training magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide teamed up to conduct the Annual Leadership Survey, which focuses on what organizations are doing to create effective leaders.

Join Lorri Freifeld, (LinkedIn profile) Editor-in-Chief of Training magazine, and Dr. Michael Leimbach, (LinkedIn profile) VP of Global Research and Development for the results of this survey.

The struggles of this past year, point out the fragility of leadership development in many organizations, as well as the incredible importance and strength of leadership development in others.

Lorri & Michael will reveal takeaways from this in-depth look at leadership development and explore ways organizations can leverage today’s challenges to develop stronger leaders for tomorrow.

Join Lorri & Michael where they will explore:

• The pandemic’s impact on leadership development
• Priority leadership skills
• Steps to strengthen leadership development efforts for greater impact

Many companies are now at a critical juncture when it comes to talent development and skill building, and it is clear that dramatic changes are needed to thrive and/or even survive in the future.

To emerge stronger from this pandemic, now is the time for organizations to invest in skill transformations and apply the lessons of the past year to crystallize their current and future skill needs.

Organizations must take a holistic approach to skill transformations and focus on key initiatives and practices that we know support success; there are no shortcuts to take. And when they do so, they should not fall into the trap of focusing only on “hard” technological skills or digital only channels for learning.

The pandemic, and Numly’s research, has shown how critical skills and resilience really require different ways of learning to be cultivated.

Madhukar Govindaraju (LinkedIn profile) Founder & CEO, Numly, will discuss how companies can invent the Perfect Trifecta with Peer Coaching and AI – Employee Experience | Employee Engagement | Employee Effectiveness.

If you are looking to Unleash Greater Performance within your Remote / WFH / Hybrid Teams, this session is a must-attend.

The ambition to drive innovation is more complex than ever, as companies seek to innovate beyond products into services, ecosystems and business models.

Culture often acts as a barrier to innovation, but represents a substantial opportunity to improve innovation performance. Organizational culture comprises the values, beliefs, rules and norms that permeate throughout a company.

Unfortunately, cultures are hard to change and tend to do so slowly. However, organizational climates change more easily and quickly. A climate is a group’s shared perceptions of the nature of its work.

There are three things that can especially enable stronger innovation climates: Senior Leader Posture; Innovation Operationalization; and Creativity Development.

In this webinar Atul Dighe (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Advisory,  will help senior R&D leaders strengthen their innovation climates by consistently modeling the right behavior, and setting and communicating their innovation vision.

Discussion Topics:

• Importance of an innovation culture in the current scenario
• How commonly held beliefs about innovation culture get in the way of our desired outcomes
• Master the 3 keys of a strong innovation climate
