Join Us for an Exclusive Series of Presentations from the ISPI Performance Improvement Conference

Are you ready to gain insights from the leading experts in the Performance Improvement field?

We are excited to bring you a series of presentations from the prestigious ISPI Performance Improvement Conference. This is a unique opportunity to experience the highlights of one of the most acclaimed conferences in our field, right from the comfort of your home or office.

Description:

For decades, we learning-and-development professionals have been frustrated by our inability to create fully-effective learning and performance-improvement interventions. We lament being just order-takers for training. We gripe and we grovel, but nothing changes. So how can we become empowered? The answer is surprising. We need to become more assertive and more rigorous in our work. Instead of trying to get "a seat at the table" with senior managers by sounding "businessy," we need to build ourselves up using the learning and performance sciences. We need to stop using crap data and instead build evaluation practices that provide insights we can use to make decisions. In this interactive session, we'll talk about these and other themes--with the goal of empowering each other to full effectiveness as professionals.

Presenter:
