New to xAPI, learning record stores (LRSs), and tracking performance w/ mobile apps? Come join us on 9 Jul as we share our experience working w/ xAPI at the next Atlanta ATD Learning Tech webinar. https://astdatlanta.org/event-3361004 xAPI helps L&D professionals gather engagement, evaluation, and interaction data and bring your L&D program up-to-date with other business functions (e.g., sales and marketing) that are already quantifying success and adaptive techniques throug...h data and data-driven decisions. xAPI helps you gather more and better data and, in turn, create more meaningful reports and tell more compelling stories. It helps you understand what’s working, what’s not working, and the progress you're making in your L&D efforts. #xapi #businessexcellence #performancefocused #performancebased #training #learninganddevelopment #jobaider #data #businessintelligence #analytics #datascience

What a nice surprise to see our #JobAider app featured in #thisweek's North Bay Business Journal in a great piece by #technology reporter Chase DiFeliciantonio. "People who attend set piece work trainings, especially in lecture form and without step-by-step job aids at their core, rarely retain the majority of the information. Calling up instructions for a task on a smartphone or tablet in the form of a job aid can help ensure the task is done right, and to a higher standard...." --Joe Halpin https://ppg.fyi/janbbj #businessexcellence #business #jobaids #damngoodjobaids #performancesupport #training #elearning #workforceperformancesupport #northbay #management #news #performancefocused #performancebased #learninganddevelopment #traininganddevelopment #xapi

"Organizations often spend a ton of money on training and yet they may not get many accomplishments out of the deal. Focusing on accomplishments helps you think about what's valuable." Curated, Issue #2 https://peregrine.us.com/curated-issue-2/

In business, as in life, all of our significant, productive encounters with others our colleagues, our partners, our customers, our vendors are built on foundations of trust. But how is that trust created, what are its key ingredients? That's a question well worth exploring. And this fascinating game-theory simulation helps us get a little closer to understanding how trust is built over time. Check it out. https://www.linkedin.com//game-theory-evolution-trust-rus/

A fave quote from @EdwardTufte's course on *Presentation of Data and Information* -- from Steve Jobs: "I hate the way people use slide presentations instead of thinking." #betterpresentations #publicspeaking #peopledontkillpeoplepowerpointbulletskillpeople

THIS is why we focus on *accomplishments* or outputs, and NOT on behavior alone! Great reminder here from Carl Binder re the work of Thomas Gilbert and the value of going beyond behavior: Remember: The value delivered by human performance is in the *accomplishments* [or outputs] it produces." -AND- "The behavior needed for producing those accomplishments is costly, [it is] not valuable for its own sake." Binder goes further when he says, "[Gilbert] characterized the focus o...n behavior for its own sake as a fundamental error that leaders, managers, performance professionals, and most ordinary people share as the ‘cult of behavior.’ [His] description of *worthy* performance, in which the value of accomplishments is greater than the cost of the behavior to produce them, reflects what we currently refer to as *return on investment* (ROI). One can use this formula to describe the ROI in human performance as equal to the value of the accomplishments divided by the cost of behavior for producing those accomplishments. Carl Binder (on Thomas Gilbert) For more, see Binder's paper on the value of being accomplishment-focused. http://www.sixboxes.com//uploadedRes/103355_Binder2017.pdf

"The Eventable Blog recommends 'if you’re co-hosting the webinar with others, ensure they’re contributing to the promotion. Are your speakers blogging about your webinar, sharing it on social media and getting their teams to share it as well? More promotion means more views, and ultimately, more registrants.' "This makes a lot of sense. Your speakers are almost certainly going to know at least as many if not more people than you and your organization do who are interested in their content. And these people within the network of the speaker(s) are more likely to be committed to attending the event! When you sign them up to present, get your presenter(s) to agree to help you promote the event!" https://www.linkedin.com//five-easy-tips-converting-webin/
