The headlines are telling us that AI has turned a corner. What does this mean for training? What does it mean for content creators? Are we out of a job or are we entering a new phase of our careers? In this panel discussion, you will get the perspective of a training director, a technologist, and a CEO on the world of artificial intelligence and its rapidly growing relationship with training. We'll explore the pros, the cons, and the shift in training, itself.

Attendees will walk away with a more comprehensive knowledge of the topic of AI x training as well as a grab bag of ideas for its uses to share at your next meeting with your boss or meet-n-greet with fellow training directors.

Compliance Training: From "Checking the Box" to Engaging Learning Experiences

BOB DUPREY, FOUNDER, RESTAURANT PLAYBOOKS
ANGELINA SABATINI, DIRECTOR OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT, FORD'S GARAGE

January 18, 2023 

Compliance training topics can often be dry and boring. And we all know the training is often done to “check the box” for legal requirements.

As training professionals, we want to make compliance training meaningful and relevant to employees. To do that, we must move from employees taking a course to be legally compliant to employees learning and practicing behaviors that support a physically and mentally safe environment for fellow employees and guests.

This interactive session will provide a simple but effective framework for designing and delivering compliance training via engaging and effective eLearning experiences. Attend and identify learning experiences that support your company culture and values, and that your employees will enjoy and practice.

This session will explore:

  • Why it’s important to rethink compliance training
  • How to shift from compliance to culture and values
  • A framework for delivering compliance training that is interesting, relevant, and effective

This session will provide a customizable template that can be used to:

  • Create relevant and relatable scenarios
  • Increase engagement with reflection activities
  • Support learning reinforcement

The ROI of Formalized Purpose and Values

JOHN ISBELL, VP LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT, PORTILLO'S, INC.

December 8, 2022

Do you have a formal Purpose statement and a set of Values, but nobody uses them? Are you a company that has never formalized your Purpose and/or Values? Do you have them but want to change them? Most importantly, do you wonder if it’s possible for the work you put into your Purpose and Values to bring you a return on your investment? If you answered yes to any of these questions or are just interested in the topic, this is the webinar for you! John Isbell helped his 60+ year old organization formalize their Purpose and Values, and in doing so, helped to galvanize the company even further and launch a successful IPO a little over a year later.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • What process Portillo’s went through to develop their Purpose and Values
  • How they rolled them out to the field
  • How they integrate them today to ensure they continue to be part of the culture and not just another initiative
  • What tangible results they credit back to the development and rollout of their Purpose and Values

Want to create or facilitate a terrible training session? Want to ensure that training does not transfer to the job? Great! In this session we will explore the Top Ten ways to make your training awful.

But seriously...we all strive to develop and implement outstanding training programs, but sometimes we fall into traps that impede our success without meaning to. In this session we will explore some ways that we inadvertently limit our training programs and the alternatives that can support the learning experience, enhance transfer of knowledge and skills, and positively impact the business.

This webinar addresses how you can identify the early warning signs of stress and possible substance abuse issues, what you can do to create safe spaces for the care of mental health and well-being, and how you can offer ongoing support.
