As we strive to meet the challenges of rapidly changing economic factors and remain competitive in the face of globalization, talent has become a critical asset. Yet many organizations still measure value based upon calculations that were relevent at the dawn of the industrial age. In this Chief Learning Officer magazine webinar, sponsored by Cisco WebEx, Dr. Mike Echols of Bellevue University will explore "the DNA of Value", an examination of what creates value in the 21st century global economy and why it is so critically important to measure the business impact of learning and development. Dr. Echols will discuss the issue of value in the context of current corporate cash positions, risk in the global economy, and the war for talent. You'll learn the critical requirements for measuring the business impact of learning and discover how to communicate its value to your organization's leadership in a manner that executives understand.
