Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider: Training Magazine Network

You do your job because you are good at writing, graphics, software, projects, or you have mastered instructional design and technologies.
But you have no clue what matters in your business. Your boss says, “We want training quick and useful.” And the boss does not tell you why and how.

Consequently, your learning and training programs are off-target, off-mark, and do not hit what the boss wants. Your boss is unimpressed. You are exasperated.

In this webinar, Ray will share his consulting toolkit and experience on how to understand the business mindset.

The Business Impacts Framework will help you discover where to find the correct targets inside your business and how to use your expertise in design, development, and delivery to create results. This webinar takes you to a “real sample” to understand the business mindset.

Topics to cover:

  • Why is training often thought of as the “dispensable cost” department?
  • What is the difference between the L&D mindset and business mindset?
  • What is the The Business Impacts Framework?
  • What are business impacts and how do these areas drive your learning and training solutions?
    • Flow and speed
    • Costs and yields
    • Technology disruptions
    • Errors and returns
    • Payback, profits, and costs
    • Capital, balance sheet
    • Customers, suppliers, and shareholders
    • Materials, equipment, people, processes
  • How to estimate the business impacts of your learning and training projects?
  • What to do when your leadership has very antiquated beliefs based on century-old learning principles?
  • How to ask questions to your boss to keep a business mindset?
  • Why is it essential for your survival to have the “business impacts” mindset?

Note  Attend the webinar and obtain Ray’s The Business Impacts Framework Worksheet.

Below you will see the Business Impacts Framework. These are areas that your bosses’ mindsets are focused on. Where and how will your training and learning programs impact the business?

Responsible AI makes artificial intelligence a positive force, rather than a threat to society and to itself.

Responsible AI is an umbrella term for many aspects of making the right business and ethical choices when adopting AI that organizations often address independently.

These include business and societal value, risk, trust, transparency, and accountability.

In this webinar Pieter J. den Hamer (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst & Svetlana Sicular (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst looks at the most critical aspects of responsible AI — accountability, explainability and fairness.

You will get best practices on how to drive AI responsibly to increase trust, maintain compliance, protect your reputation and, most of all, do wonderful things safely.

Discussion Topics:

  • Why is responsible AI critical to business and society
  • The most critical aspects of responsible AI
  • Where and how to start implementing responsible AI

The One Thing to Measure…

The movie City Slickers was released 30 years ago this summer, long before most people were talking about analytics. The movie, however, contains a lesson that anybody working with measurement today would find useful. Curly, played by Jack Palance, tells Billy Crystal’s character that there is just one secret of life.

When pressed for details about what that one secret is, Palance replies dryly, “that’s for you to figure out.”

It sounds simple, but the secret to effective measurement is understanding what good looks like and good must be measured differently in every situation.

An organization struggling to get its first products out the door might place a premium on productivity, another that has a long list of established customers might shift that focus to quality or customer retention.

In this webcast we will focus on three key takeaways:

  •  Questions that uncover strategic intent
  •  Turning outcomes into measures
  •  Changing and Adjusting metrics as a situation dictates

All areas of product management must understand and prioritize the needs of their customers and the functional capabilities required to develop a competitive product.

Product managers consistently rank these areas, plus the creation of a cohesive and easy-to-communicate product strategy, as the most important elements of their role.

However, many product managers still struggle to validate that they have captured the right insight to underpin these activities.

In this webinar Eric Trenk (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst & Chris Meering (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst will help product management executives more effectively use tools and techniques, such as Gartner Product Decisions, to leverage customer feedback and insight to both validate and improve their product strategy and roadmaps.

Discussion Topics:

  • The importance of your product strategy and roadmap throughout the product life cycle
  • Tools and technique to capture customer-driven insight and validation
  • How Gartner Product Decisions provides insight and validation of buyers’ needs and satisfaction
