Organization Change:  The WLP’s Role

March 11, 2011  from 11:30 - 1:00

As we all deal (or struggle) with change every day in our work environment, what should be the role of the Workplace Learning Professional?

ASTD has identified the skills of facilitating change as one of the nine areas of expertise in the ASTD Competency Model.  Also, this is one of the areas of certification for the CPLP (Certified Professional in Learning and Performance).

Please join us at the March ASTD program where members of the first CPLP Study Group will share some of the information, experiences, best practices, and tools and techniques to help WLP’s enhance our effectiveness while leading change.  Topics will include: 

• Forces of change on organizations and the training function
• Eight-step model for leading successful change
• The WLP’s role
• Understanding resistance to change
• Strategies to effectively address resistance to change
• Building an effective case for change
• The learning organization and change

This is a free event for Hawkeye Chapter Members.  Guests may attend up to two meetings before they must join.

· Are you ever in a situation where you need to design a training course or workshop with less than optimal time?

· Do you ever feel “stuck” or “out of new ideas” when you are trying to put a training module together?

· A template you can customize for designing training

· Best practices for designing training for high impact in less time

· Practical exercises that support the human learning cycle (Dave Meier, The Center for Accelerated Learning)
