Lunch Meeting: Thursday, June 20th

Impacting the Business:
How to Ensure that Training
Improves Business Results


D. Verne Morland

 

Presented by:

     D. Verne Morland
     Managing Partner
     ROI Learning Services

To be a business partner, learning leaders and their staffs need to deliver improved performance results instead of just “learning events.” This presentation shows you some of the tools and insights you need to transform learning into performance improvement and change your department from an “order taker” into strategic partner.

Last fall our presenter, Verne Morland, attended a 1-1/2 day workshop in Denver taught by the authors of the best-selling book, The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning. At this meeting Verne will share what he learned and lead a discussion on how to implement the 6 critical learning transfer practices needed to earn the greatest return on training investments.

What You Will Learn

At this meeting you will learn the "6 Ds" of the learning process: define, design, deliver, drive, deploy, and document. Unlike some learning development methodologies that focus on the course, the 6 Ds process starts with business needs and concludes with an evaluation of business results. (For more information prior to the meeting, please visit the website of The 6Ds Company.)

At this meeting you will learn about practical tools and ideas based on real-world best practices. You’ll gain insights into how you, too, can design, deliver, and evaluate programs to have real business impact.

Who Should Attend

This program is applicable both to learning leaders and to all members of a learning staff. The focus will be on teaching and learning in a business context, but some of the ideas may be applicable to the world of academia.

If you want to be valued as a business partner to your company executives, this meeting is for you!
