Identifying the Best OD Intervention

We’ve all had that moment when we walked out of a needs assessment feedback meeting asking ourselves, Now what?” How do we choose when there are so many intervention pathways we can take?

This discussion will spotlight some popular intervention strategies and open the floor for attendees to share best practices, wins, and cautionary tales. Convener: Saleemah Green

LEARNING LEADERS SIG Jan. 29
What is Working Well in Your Learning Environment?

How do your training plans look for 2025? If you haven’t developed your training plans for the year, you are probably working on them this month.

We will discuss what seems to be working well and what’s not working well in learning and development. Are you incorporating microlearning, focusing on business impact and personalized learning? Or are you focusing on traditional learning sessions, assessments and the one size fits all approach?

Let’s spend some time together looking at the trends for 2025 and what is working well and not so well in your learning environment. You will leave the session with some fresh ideas, a new approach and renewed energy to share with your team in the new year! Convener: Leah Cridlin
