The success or failure of raising capital largely depends on getting buy-in from stakeholders and board members. Stakeholders sometimes fail to support the fundraising because of conflicting scenarios involving motivation, desires, dilution or plan.

Tech CEOs who engage stakeholders early in the fundraising process will establish an approach that optimizes shareholder value and gets stakeholder support.

In this webinar David Adams (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst & Patrick Stakenas (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst,  will help technology providers plan and execute their strategies for growth beyond their current products and customer segments.

Discussion Topics:

• Involve all stakeholders early in the fundraising conversation and outline specific funding needs
• Identify potential strategic requirements to ensure stakeholder alignment
• Define a timeframe to act on a capital raise and plan out milestones to predict future options

1. We live in a fast-paced world.
2. Our culture thrives on a “need it yesterday” mentality.
3. There’s simply no time for training.

Do you recognize these expressions? Does your organization look to microlearning as the solution to our “too busy” problem?

When business leaders drive training based solely on time, it’s often challenging to meet the goals they’re looking for.

As training professionals, we need to build the appropriate case for a microlearning strategy. (HINT: “They don’t have time, so go fast,” isn’t the greatest strategy!)

In this session, we’ll examine when and how microlearning works. And how to get business leaders to embrace what it can do for them.

After this session you be able to:

• Analyze your content for microlearning opportunities
• Build the case microlearning as a targeted part of your learning strategy
• Communicate the benefits of microlearning
• Focus content to the micro-level
