Too Many Ideas Selecting
Conference Ideas Worth Pursuing
Darryl Sink, President
Darryl L. Sink & Associates, Inc.
Learn how to decide which of the ideas from
this conference are worth pursuing.
• Step 1: List your ideas and apply 4 criteria
(ABCD) to each idea: Achievable, Beneficial,
Compatible and Divisible.
• Step 2: Rank those ideas that show the most
promise according to 3 criteria: How significant you think the change
will be; ease of implementation; chance of being accepted.
Take away a job aid which details the process. Back on the job, select and
sort ideas with your associates so together you can create an action plan
and gain support.

Addressing Everyday Training
and Development Challenges
Although many of the challenges we face today are
similar to ones faced decades ago, the uncertain
economic climate, coupled with significant changes
in employment patterns, have changed their
nature. Monday’s Showcase provides you with an
opportunity to explore five successful projects that
address common issues in a modern context:
• Using SME-delivered training that doesn’t put
learners to sleep
• Marketing training offerings in an age of
intranets
• Making sure that managers complete their
basic training — by certifying them
• Running leadership development on a shoestring
• Partnering with educational institutions to
develop IT skills
• Using scorecards to ensure the success of new
employee orientation
Living with Learning Technology
Although technology-based programs in the last
decade have grown from less than 10% to over
30% of all training, organizations still struggle
to implement, develop and manage them.
Tuesday’s Showcase provides you with an
opportunity to explore six successful projects:
• Implementing a YouTube channel in a major
software publisher
• Transforming classroom instructors in a
services firm into rapid e-learning developers
• Launching a successful online community
of practice in a manufacturing organization
• Developing a workable e-learning process
in a services provider
• Getting usable reports about healthcare
training from a LMS
• Improving Efficiency through Role
Specialization, Process Optimization,
and Strategic Use of Technology
