How to Think Like a CEO Chuck Rosenblum, Executive Coach, Rosenblum Associates One of the points that has been emphasized and re-emphasized by industry thought leaders in recent years is that learning executives need to speak in the language of business rather than their own narrow discipline. But they need to do more than just talk the talk.The perception of CLOs can dramatically improve when they understand the business they’re in, demonstrate knowledge of the organization’s strategies and clearly articulate the organization’s mission. In this CLO Power Hour session, executive coach Charles Rosenblum will go over what CLOs can focus on to be relevant to CEOs. The Champions 9 3 P.M.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER The Quest for Business Impact Mike Echols, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives, Bellevue University In study after study, an overwhelming majority of learning leaders identify business impact as one of their top objectives. Yet, only a minority of them actually demonstrate how their initiatives positively impact the business and help it meet its goals. In this interactive discussion, Echols will explore and define business impact, discuss why learning leaders should demonstrate it, identify what's stopping them from doing it and provide practical guidance on the quest to effectively measure and demonstrate the value of learning programs. Brave New Learners: Millennials and Beyond Jeanne Meister, Author, Learning Evangelist The people who are entering the workforce now and in the near future have different expectations about learning.

Will these millennials demand new collaborative learning environments and if so, what can you as a CLO do now to prepare for the Net Generation?
