Monday, February 13  H01 CREATING ENGAGING EXPERIENCES WITH GAMES For many organizations, the use of games for learning has been a risky proposition. But the ability to motivate, engage and provide meaningful learning experiences for workforce learning no longer relies on expensive total solution games. We’ll explore the use of casual games to teach smaller, core topics; gamification concepts for motivational constructs; and even non-technology based games for strategy and leadership. You’ll learn strategies for implementing the right game, at the right time and place, within your organization, and, you’ll see examples of games being used to create engaging experiences.
 H02 THE 5 CHOICES TO EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTIVITY The sheer volume of distractions, information and choices we face every day threatens our ability to think clearly and creatively. If we react without discernment, our capacity to focus becomes impaired and over time we sink into a sea of irrelevancy. How do we harness the opportunities and technologies in a way that allows us to soar? How can we consistently focus on the important things and experience extraordinary productivity? The difference between sinking and soaring lies in our ability to make wise choices. Learn about five choices that dramatically increase our ability to achieve important outcomes and that produce a measurable increase in productivity and an inner sense of fulfillment and peace.
 H03 HARNESS THE POWER OF STORY TO ENGAGE Stories communicate ideas and information as no other medium can. They connect people emotionally and intellectually, appeal to listeners of all learning styles, and are a great way to teach strategic learning points. In this fun, interactive session, Stevenson will perform a story, debrief it, and then reveal how he crafted it into a highly effective story. He will also coach volunteers to demonstrate that anyone can implement these techniques to improve a story’s impact, and become more engaging and confident. Learn to:
 H04 TELL THEM TEST OR TEST THEN TELL? OR . . . HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IT WRONG ALL THIS TIME? Stop the madness—enough with boring, linear e-learning! We have the ability to individualize the learning experience. Experts should be able to fly through lessons and prove they know their stuff; novices should be able to have their hands held and be given all the help they need. By providing a "one-size-fits-all" approach, you do almost all your learners a disservice. That's the "tell-then-test" approach that is pervasive in the industry. The better approach is to challenge learners as much as possible and as soon as possible. And here's the big secret: it doesn't have to cost any more to create than the boring stuff! Learn both methods and why in some cases the traditional method still works and in other cases the test-then-tell approach should be strongly considered.
  H05 SOCIAL LEARNING: DRIVERS, PRACTICES, & BUSINESS ALIGNMENT FOR RE-IMAGINING LEARNING Organizations are moving toward social learning but still experience barriers.

 H06 JUMPING CANYONS: MOVING FROM TACTICAL TO STRATEGIC TO BUSINESS PARTNER The complexity of supporting people in an organization has created a multitude of HR disciplines. Training is a critical and positive element of the entire HR spectrum. As with all disciplines, training must align its efforts with the objectives of the corporation and senior management. Often however, our careers begin with the tactical, and this "start" inhibits our ability to see and support the company goals. We become "obscured" by the specific needs and can run in "ruts" so deep, it’s impossible to see over the sides. Jumping the Canyon will look at the elements of growth, relevance and success in all stages of your career lifespan. We will look at the inherent, internal, external, and experiential reasons for success and failure.
Wednesday, February 15  H07 WHAT EVERY MANAGER MUST KNOW ABOUT LEARNING 2.0 New requirements for learning are emerging, and new tools are changing the landscape of e-learning. We can no longer confine ourselves to the instructional or classroom model; we must deliver learning directly to the workplace, in the context of work, 24-7. The nature of what we do, not just where we do it, is transforming. How should informal learning and Web 2.0 tools be integrated into more "traditional" systems? What will it take to sell front-line workers, first-line supervisors and senior management on these new approaches? Learn to make learning 2.0 an integral and sustainable part of your organization’s strategy — not just another appendage to a training plan.
 H08 GETTING THEM TO CHANGE THEIR MIND AND THEIR BEHAVIOR You are in the business of change. And change requires the influence and persuasion of people. To successfully compete for mind share, you’ve got to get somebody to buy, to begin, to stop, to contribute, to agree. In short — to move. Presenting the business case isn’t enough. The behavioral sciences can help you initiate and execute to your objectives. They can help you deal with disruption, transform thinking, influence up, down, or across. This skill, and it is a skill, may be the biggest differentiator between average and outstanding performance. Learn the behaviors to get you there. Learn your own preferred persuasion style, how to adapt it to be more successful, how to create pivotal moments that improve your chances, and how to select from different techniques that bring success.
