Management and Strategy
Salon 5
Many professionals struggle with providing clear recommendations to their organizations on what approach to take with courses. Simply putting things online because it is the trend does not seem like a very educated way forward. This often leads to disappointing results that are costly and do not deliver the expected outcomes. Many learning professionals remain unsure of how to formulate an answer to the question they are asked.
This session will share techniques developed over the years to make evidence-based recommendations to an organization. You will learn how to analyze content in order to provide a recommendation on instructional strategies and achieve greater stakeholder buy-in.

- Techniques for successful proposals
