Breakfast Club

Learning's Value to the Enterprise

Thursday, October 30, 2008 7:30am Eastern at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

In today’s business environment, value is increasingly driven by the knowledge and skills of the workforce. With this emphasis on human capital, workforce development is more critical than ever before as organizations look to grow the bottom line. In the 2008 Chief Learning Officer Breakfast Club series, our panel of industry experts will lead conversations in major cities around the United States about the role that the learning organization plays in creating tremendous value in the enterprise.

Lively discussion topics will focus on:

  • Defining Value: What is learning's value and how do we best communicate it to senior management?
  • Delivering Value: What are the learning tools and methods we should use to deliver value?
  • Measuring Value: What are the roadblocks to measuring the value of learning and what can we do about it?
