Speak the C-level language: Win buy-in for your learning investments
You know the importance of investing in learning and talent experience, but it can be challenging to share your vision and clearly link learning ROI to business performance for your peers and decision-makers outside of HR or L&D. CIOs and CFOs have their own sets of priorities and pains. To make an effective case and secure critical support, especially in a time of tight budgets and increased oversight, you need to speak their language, present the right proof, and prepare for their toughest questions.
Cornerstone wants to help your cause. In this presentation, Mike Bollinger, Cornerstone’s Global VP of Strategic Initiatives, welcomed special guest Katy Tynan, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester, for a practical, interactive session. You’ll learn about :
- Measuring what matters most to CIOs and CFOs and focusing on outcome-based metrics over vanity metrics
- Connecting learning and performance investments to business goals and productivity
- Overcoming common objections around investing in learning
- Emerging trends in reporting in the age of human capital
