6 Reasons Microlearning Will Make a Huge Impact in Your Organization (Frank Russell, CEO, Prositions)

This session will discuss how microlearning will meet those demands and have a huge impact on your organization. You’ll learn how to ensure you’re getting the best product and vendor, and then how to show that using ROI. Discover the importance of microlearning, why it’s critical to today’s workforce, and how to get the most out of your investment.
Learning in the Age of Immediacy: How the Digital Transformation Transforms Training (Brandon Carson – Delta Airlines)
Session description: The rapid pace of digital transformation is altering the business landscape. To appropriately support this change, the modern learning organization must transform how it designs and delivers learning, and how it evaluates and measures its success in supporting the workplace. This session highlights five technologies that are driving the digital transformation and bringing disruption to the business of learning. We will discuss practical strategies for understanding how these edge technologies can integrate into learning strategies.
Session description: Delivering great content is hard enough, but it’s even harder when your learners are incredibly busy and spread across the globe! How do you keep the attention of an audience that isn’t required to listen to you? And how do you bring innovative L&D to industries that continue to rely on traditional training techniques? This session provides miniature case studies of how forward-thinking organizations in multiple industries transformed their traditional training programs. You’ll learn how classroom training can be transformed by virtual and interactive learning tools, how the function of L&D can be turned on its head to meet business needs, and how L&D programs provide personalized service to global audiences through technology. Find out how to use learning technology to support real results, and how to create a blended learning program that reinforces learner skills. These are the honest stories of L&D programs that dared to be different.
