Much of training is on skills and rules. So, when workers face problems their capacities are limited. They should be well-equipped to handle the unexpected, unknown and challenges never seen before.

Workflow Thinking breaks the dependencies on skills and rules to do unbounded thinking – empowered to fix, solve and improve work issues.

This session will cover:

• What studies show that skills-and-rules-only training, limits workers in problem-solving incidents?
• What are the practices in training and learning that hinder proper handling of unhappy incidents?
• How do we design training and learning programs that goes beyond following rules and knowledge?

Poor recognition experiences of the past can impact the effectiveness of new recognition. But the good news is you can offset the poor experiences that still haunt your organization.

With a new year right around the corner, how can you prepare to celebrate your people while creating meaningful memories? How much should you spend? How often you should you recognize? In a first-of-its-kind experiment, the O.C. Tanner Institute has uncovered new research that can prescriptively guide your recognition budgeting and planning efforts.

Join three recognition experts—Meghan Stettler, (LinkedIn profile) Director, O.C. Tanner Institute, Sandra Christensen, VP of Awards, and Hannah Lawrence, Client Strategist—as they share insights, best practices, and real-life examples for the best ways to maximize your recognition dollars in the upcoming year.

Attend to learn:

• How prior recognition memories shape current recognition and cultural perceptions
• Why frequent, smaller moments are more impactful than giant one-time celebrations
• How much is too much—and how little is too little—in terms of spend
• Why working with O.C. Tanner can make great recognition easy and memorable for all involved

It’s not as though culture change was easy before the pandemic.

Using training as a lever to move complex human systems into new patterns of behavior was more or less a ninja-level skill even before the whole world went on lockdown.

Then everything changed, again and again (and again!). We went virtual in a sort of all-or-nothing, emergency shutdown way… and then we came back in a sort of catch-as-catch-can, hybridized, random sort of way.

Now we’re trying to get our footing, adding new ways of working to old ways of working in hopes of getting ahead of – or at least, catching up with – a rate of change that seems to be ever-accelerating.

But what about culture?  What of those ever-present patterns of behavior that exert constant influence on how we work, even as they invisibly limit or enhance what we can accomplish?  What can training do about that?

In this interactive webinar, award-winning author, CEO, and repeat Training Magazine presenter Ed Muzio (LinkedIn profile) teams up with Iterative Management Executive Reggie Wilson (LinkedIn profile) to show you how a firm specializing in wholesale culture change adapted training through the pandemic, and what stuck.

Explore…

• How systematic, disciplined application of simple behavioral principles becomes culture
• How anyone, at any level, can create real impact on the broader environment – effecting permanent change gradually and systematically
• How to seed productive, positive culture yourself, simply by enabling your colleagues and associates to create more output and experience less stress in their own work
• What approaches the speaker’s firm added, and what they kept, as they went from live to virtual to blended, always with the same goal of changing culture through changing behavior

PowerPoint can be an awesome tool to help you convey information. Yet, have you ever thought about delivering a presentation without any slides at all?

Why would you even consider doing this, as PPT is so widely accepted and expected? It’s simple. If you remove the crutch of PPT, it forces you as a communicator to think differently about how you present your message. It will sharpen your other presentation abilities and make you a much better presenter.

In this session, delivered entirely WITHOUT slides, you’ll learn more about the essential skills all presenters should master, beyond slide design.

Glen willexplore how to capture the minds and hearts of our listeners by:

• Painting vivid word pictures
• Incorporating storytelling, analogies, and memory-aiding techniques.
• Exploring alternative, creative ways to convey ideas visually, beyond flat images contained within 16×9 rectangles.

Once you master these skills, it will improve your usage of PowerPoint, because you’ll realize the power of figuring out what you are trying to say first, and THEN crafting visuals to support your message.

In this session, Glenn Gibson (LinkedIn profile) will explore this correlation and show you how to put slides in their proper place.

Glen will take a deep dive into:

• Structure – How to apply a repeatable award-winning structure to your presentations
• Melody – How to write a “chorus” for your presentation, and apply analogies and stories to hook the ear of your listener
• Lyrics – How to refine your words to ensure your performance is flawless

Oh, and that’s not to mention 508 compliance issues, which are incredibly difficult to overcome in PowerPoint.

This session has a brief introduction to what add-ins are and how they work, and then live demonstrations of the best add-ins you can get, from the simple to the complex, including:

• Shape,
• Size, and position tools,
• Ways to seamlessly add graphics,
  • Create custom color palettes,
• Format tables,
• Set master guides, and
• Store an animations library,

Wondering what all the AI fuss is about? You’re not alone! The question is not if AI can help us, but how?

In this workshop you will leave equipped with the skills to leverage AI as your instructional design partner. Together we will explore AI’s capabilities and limitations, ensuring you can use different AI tools effectively.

Be prepared to get hands-on! Working side-by-side, we will put theory into practice! By using the provided cheatsheet, we will analyze learning content to develop rock-solid learning outcomes. As a bonus we will use those outcomes to design engaging activities based on Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction.

Get ready to:

• Examine AI’s abilities and limitations, setting the stage for its effective use in instructional design
• Using appropriate prompt engineering, direct AI to develop learning objectives that are more action-focused and align with Bloom’s Taxonomy
• Then practice engineering prompt formulas to receive lesson plans and activites that are more targeted and relevant, and less neutral (or generic)
• Identify how the use of roles and personas will direct your AI sidekick to be more helpful and effective

By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with a practical toolkit of skills, allowing you to design with greater efficiency and welcome AI as your creative partner in the instructional design process. Ready to supercharge your learning design and have some fun?
