When Training Can't Fix That: Performance Consulting Strategies for L&D Professionals

Description: As learning & development professionals, how do we move from being order-takers to being trusted, strategic business partners within our organizations? It starts with aligning our work with the organization's overall goals and being able to discern when training is or is not an appropriate solution for a given problem. In this presentation, you'll learn how to use some practical tools to analyze your organization's needs and ensure that your work has maximum impact where it matters.

Learning Objectives:

Explain why performance improvement principles are important in L&D practice.
Use common performance improvement models to assess organizational needs.
Use the "walk backwards" technique to maximize the impact of your work.
