  Good news!  Registration is extended!  Thursday 9/16 will be the last day to register.  

  We are happy to announce our COATD Learning Technology and Design Day conference is returning!  We are returning to the Quest Conference Center.  They have a new facility with more parking, more ventilation to clean air and remove pathogens, and more accessibility.  The new facility is right behind the old facility.  Click here to learn more about their COVID safety protocols.

  2020 has been unlike any previous year.  We’ve witnessed entire school districts from kindergarten to post-doctoral programs move from face-to-face to online learning with no lead time or preparation. Companies that never had a single employee working remotely suddenly have their entire workforce in home offices. 

  Central Ohio ATD’s Learning Technology and Design Day builds on what we’ve learned over the past year and provides real, cutting edge solutions aligned with adult learning styles.  You will learn how to utilize new strategies, increase engagement, make learning more accessible and improve performance by leveraging the power of learning technologies.

  This year’s conference features a keynote with Kassy LaBorie.  Kassy’s keynote is titled “Virtual Training is Here to Stay. Now What?  Listen to this message from Kassy.

  Come join us for the Bi-Monthly Organizational Development SIG led by Mary Held.

  This month’s meeting will focus on:

  Modern performance management: How are you measuring the performance, engagement, well-being, etc. of remote employees and managers?

  Featuring Guest Speaker: Michelle Reese

  
  

  Michelle’s experience is based on a career of integrating technology, process, and people for better performance. When she built information systems (IT), she noticed how it wasn’t like the movie Field of Dreams where Kevin Costner heard, “If you build it, they will come.” In fact, sometimes they didn't "come" to use it because of insufficient training, incentive misalignment, lack of communication, fear of failure, and the list goes on. That's when she became fully committed to focus on the human performance aspects of change. Now, she carries those lessons into her role as a Client Success Executive for Covail, a tech company in the cybersecurity and intelligent automation space.

  Learning measurement involves a variety of factors from basic items like quality of design and delivery all the way to financial cost/benefit.  To have a complete view on the key learning measurement elements one must start with a solid impact process map.  This session will present a complete impact process map designed by and for learning professionals.  It will review not only basic measurement needs like quality of learning but differentiate between a business outcome (ex. sales) and a talent outcome (ex. culture) and offer clear and simple methods to collect and report on these measurement items.

  In this session you will learn:

  1. About a learning impact process map.

  2. How to apply the process map to build your measurement strategy.

  3. How to connect the process map to data collection and reporting.

  Mary coaches leaders on how to get maximum engagement from their employees and the highest level of performance and productivity from their teams.
  
  She is a business coach, and her focus is on the development of high performance teams. In business, like any other area, teams don’t just spontaneously come together. The level of engagement and performance you get from your team depends on the quality of leadership in the organization and the degree to which top leaders and managers throughout the organization are committed to training, coaching, and mentoring talent in the workforce … and promoting teamwork as a way of life.
