Keynote Speaker: Dr. Robert O. Brinkerhoff
Transforming the L&D professional into a true business partner
Less than 20% of all training translates into improved job and organizational performance. Management and leadership development investments have the worst track record for impact. The FUTURE of workplace learning and development is our ability as HR, OE, and Training Professionals to transform from “providers” to business partners.
To accelerate business performance we need to carefully align our work to the strategic goals of the organization, and leverage training into measurable business results. Dr. Brinkerhoff is the creator of the widely known High Impact Learning (HIL) System, proven methods and tools to achieve dramatically increased and guaranteed payback on investments in learning and development.
During this highly engaging and interactive keynote presentation, you will discover why many training initiatives fall short in producing the required business impact. You will be introduced to a strategic model for implementing and evaluating training that if executed effectively, will earn you a seat at the executive table!
