About Your Facilitator: Jimbo Clarkhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimbo-clark/ I help people, teams and organizations find innovative solutions to challenging questions. For the past 11 years I have been taking the phrase, "Think out of the Box" literally by boxing, unboxing and re-boxing thousands of people's minds using a physical box.

"A mind blowing experience." "The best 1.5 hours on Zoom in two months of lockdown."

With demand for eLearning programs at an all-time high, we’re busier than ever. L&D professionals are proving their value, right? If we measure value by sheer volume, sure. But we shouldn’t be measuring our own value at all: that’s our learners’ job. If we were listening, they’d tell us that too many of our programs fail to account for their competing priorities, stress, and fatigue. They’d tell us that they can’t pay attention to new information, much less recall or apply it, when they’re exhausted. The more outspoken might even tell us that our learning tasks are so tedious that they’re not motivated to try. How can we make the process of acquiring skills and knowledge less draining--maybe even enjoyable--for them? We don’t need shiny objects. We don’t even need to be decision makers. We just need a few simple tools to improve our learner experience (LX). The basics can make a big difference: presenting information accessibly, intuitively, even attractively, can make the learning process more pleasant. On the flip side, a few common design flaws can frustrate learners and detract from otherwise valuable content. Tiffany will share some strategies to deliver more of the resources learners want, with fewer barriers and frustrations. This session culminates in a live workshop: bring a current project and receive feedback from the group on how to enhance the LX of your deliverable or curriculum. Learning Objectives/Session Takeaways: How to recognize design flaws contributing to extraneous cognitive load How to leverage germane cognitive load to boost learner engagement and interest Strategies to boost the LX of any deliverable, from a single performance support to a full curriculum ATD Talent Capability Model

L&D doesn’t own workplace learning. WHAT?!?! Every organization is a complex ecosystem. A multitude of factors influence employee performance and business results. Unfortunately, many L&D teams fail to acknowledge this reality and adopt a holistic approach. Instead, they focus only on their sphere of influence, which usually revolves around formal training. Employees then struggle with mixed messages and contradictory priorities. This stifles employee potential, hinders long-term business growth and brings the value of L&D into question. In this session, we’ll explore the components of a modern learning ecosystem. We’ll demonstrate how these components can be adjusted to function cohesively, empower employees and enable performance improvement. We’ll map popular L&D tactics, such as eLearning and performance support, to the Modern Learning Ecosystem Framework. We’ll discuss challenges L&D may encounter when trying to evolve their learning ecosystem. You’ll walk away with practical ideas that will help you start shifting your approach to learning so that you can meet the needs of today’s employees.

This session will overview the phases, outputs, tasks and teams for conducting a Curriculum Architecture Design (CAD) effort using a facilitated Group Process with Master Performers and Other Subject Matter Experts as needed, an ISD methodology the speaker has been using since 1981, and has conducted for his clients an ISD consultant 76 times since 1982. Several of his efforts were submitted by his clients and received awards from ISPI and ATD and for internal awards at General Motors and at Siemens Building Technologies. CAD efforts produce performance-based T&D Paths of modular Instruction, including Standalone Job Aids, Job Aids embedded in Training, and Training for when memorization and/or honing critical skills is required back on the job. Guy will also point to dozens of free resources available on his website to help others conduct CAD efforts.

Working from home is the new reality for many of us. We’re surrounded by distracting technology. Our kids or spouse may need something in the middle of a task. We see a notification and feel pressured to respond immediately. Does this leave you unfocused, unhappy, and struggling to find time? Grab a sandwich and join us for this lunch and learn session. We’ll introduce practical tools for focus and provide a hands-on experience for working more productively individually and with your teams and clients. We’ll start by introducing the neuroscience behind the Caveday methodology for overcoming distraction and pushing past internal resistance. Then we’ll run a short cave “sprint” so you can apply the methodology to a real world task. We’ll finish with a few best practices and tactical tips to maintain and build strong, focused work cultures on remote and hybrid teams. You will finish this 75-minute session and get some work done! Session Assignment: Bring a short task (about 10 minutes to complete) and materials to complete it. Example: E-mail response or organizing files. Key Takeaways Explore the science behind why it’s so hard to focus and what we can do about it Apply the Caveday methodology to avoid distraction, overcome procrastination, and minimize decision fatigue Discuss ways to keep ourselves, our teams, and our clients motivated when working remotely
