Moving Forward: Learning in the Flow of Work
July 19, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pmEastern Time
Description
As learning and development professionals, we know the “one-and-done” approach to leadership development is a surefire way for leaders to quickly forget what they’ve learned and not implement it into their day-to-day work. Yet, due to business demands, time constraints or budget concerns, companies still deliver leadership training as a one-time event with the hope that it sticks. And to add to the complexity, many companies are global, working in a remote or hybrid environment, and have key deliverables that must be achieved in a short amount of time. Does this sound familiar?
While all of these factors may seem overwhelming, solving the “one-and-done” conundrum requires a forward-facing approach that allows learners to gain what they need in real time as well as future-proof the pitfalls of forgotten or unused content. Combining multiple learning design methodologies with engaging, real-world conversations, along with content aligned directly to the company’s core values, a leadership development program can meet not only all of the complexities that companies face when leveling up their leaders, they can keep moving forward.
In this session, follow CrowdStrike Learning & Development’s journey in creating Falcon Forward, and discover:
- Key design and development principles used when building out the program and curating content.
- Executive stakeholder engagement strategies to gain buy-in and support.
- Learner engagement and motivation incentives integrated throughout the program.
- Post-program resources for continuous development and learner support.
