Description
A successful leader or a successful organization wakes up every morning raring to learn. Yet, most of our conversation is about training. These are two very different processes. Learning is about what your members and staff actually learn. Training is what you hope to deliver. Associations that refocus their efforts on learning will be at the core of future growth. Elliott Masie, one of the world's leading experts in the field of learning, will address the significant changes that associations can make to increase learning for their members and staff. He will address learning tools, economics and hurdles; the role of technology in learning; profiles in learning courage and myths about training.
