Leadership Development

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) has been part of the learning and development world for a long time - and for good reason. This Colloquium will help you realize the power of understanding your own preferences in order to have a greater impact on your career and your organization. This is your opportunity to explore the implications of temperament in the learning environment, resulting in valuable insight into developing learning solutions.

In this Colloquium presentation, learn from Patricia Harrold, Founder of Career and Life Mentoring and Director of Aircrew Training at Offutt Air Force Base, as she shares how you can put MBTI to work for you, your employees, and your organization.

There is ample evidence that dependable and competent future leaders are becoming difficult to find as the demand and competition for star employees increases. Though all companies need to think about leadership transitions, larger and more established organizations seem uniquely positioned to adopt employee development programs. This meta-analysis explores the identification and development of high-potential employees.

As we continue to move toward a knowledge-based economy, it is becoming clearer that human capital is becoming the one true competitive advantage. Within the people of an organization resides unique knowledge that cannot be replicated. Knowledge, both tacit and explicit, is a resource that can impact the effectiveness of a business. The management of that knowledge is crucial in setting oneself apart from one's competitors. To address this problem, knowledge management strategies need to be developed to allow an organization to capture, store, and retrieve knowledge.

On January 1, 2011, 76 million baby boomers began a steady cycle of retirement that will unleash one of the largest demographic and economic upheavals the United States has ever experienced. Gen Xers and Millennials will not be able to replace the 40 percent gap in the U.S. workforce. These younger generations also cannot be expected to replace perhaps an even greater unknown amount of tacit and explicit knowledge necessary to successfully operate the public and private sectors as we know them today. Serious efforts must be undertaken now to document and transfer this knowledge to the next generations.

Social Learning, or as we call it, Collaborative Learning, has exploded, unleashing a barrage of opinion masquerading as learning.

The presentation highlights two collaborative learning platforms and their quantifiable impact on business results.
