Resilient organizations stand firm against economic, geopolitical, and other headwinds.

The key traits of a resilient organization often include elements like an adaptable leadership, dynamic decision-making and a sense of psychological safety to experiment, learn and grow even in uncertain times.

However, it is easier said than done, as building each of these resilient muscles needs creating internal routines that move like clockwork at the times of need.

Creating a positive learning culture supports building this internal routine and often acts as a ‘pre-condition to organizational resilience’.

Organizations that learn better have greater resilience and more consistent earnings relative to their peers.

Join Allen  as he explores:

• How organizations build their resilient muscles
• How learning acts as a precondition to resilience
• How resilient organizations encourage strong learning cultures
• How technology and mindset work together to propel learning cultures

How can you collect deep insights from training participants (and others) to support your surveys or other training evaluation data? Try focus groups!

Focus groups offer the opportunity to go deeper and add detail and variety to a dataset – much more than would be obtainable with surveys alone.

A focus group is essentially a group interview or small group discussion during which a moderator asks questions in an interactive group setting where participants are encouraged to talk with each other as well as with the moderator.

They offer a great way to gather in-depth information about participants’ thoughts, feelings, experiences or opinions on a specific topic.

Learn:

• How to set up and prepare for focus groups and what to expect before, during and after focus group sessions.
• How to invite and encourage focus group participants to share their stories.
• How focus groups can be used to both develop surveys and to corroborate survey data

Creative avatars is a great way to represent typical employees or customers that you’re talking about in your training but it has always been hard to find a variety of avatars drawn in the same style and give those avatars the expressions you want to portray.

For example, a common situation is to show a before and after situation.

A customer might be frustrated before they buy your product and then, hopefully, be happy and you want to show an avatar expressing both those emotions.

PowerPoint cartoon characters give you all the tools you need to accomplish this.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How to mix and match expressions, heads, bodies, and positions
• How to change colors – and what you can’t change
• How to create an avatar library to save you time when you use your avatars again

Ellen says using the cartoon people is fun! Come & enjoy.
