Vice President - Firmwide Talent Development,
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Jon Cox - Director of Talent Management, Trinity Industries, Inc.
Inclusion in the workplace is beneficial, especially for enterprise-sized organizations. From increased profitability, to enhanced innovation, and a better employee experience, the incentives for inclusivity are all there. And while companies have been focused on diversifying their workforce, CLOs are working to remove inherent biases from their learning programs. In this session, a key thought leader in the D&I space will discuss key steps toward a total inclusive learning program such as:
- Incorporating diverse perspectives, identifying potential barriers to learning and using creative solutions to learning impediments
- Implementing oversight teams to review current and future development programs with an eye on ensuring that unconscious biases are mitigated
Driving and fostering a culture of inclusive learning where employees feel safe to share concerns

Seeing the Big Picture - Business Acumen to Build Your Credibility, Career & Company
Kevin Cope -
CEO,
Acumen Learning
As Your executive team wants the entire business to be profitable, not just a single unit. They need all employees to understand and better contribute to how the entire company makes money. And employees want to feel that the work they do for their company is worthwhile and makes a difference. The problem is that most people “in” business, don’t “get” business. While we understand our jobs, the big picture seems too complex to grasp, and complexity is an underlying challenge in any business, regardless of size, industry, or stage of development.
How do we simplify the complex? Bestselling author, Kevin Cope, has helped top companies figure it out. When you break down even the largest, most complex multinational company into its most fundamental elements, you’ll find the same five drivers that power your business, or any business. If you want to be seen as a major contributor, someone who understands your overall business – not just how your department works – you need to understand how you can affect these drivers through your decisions and actions. You need to build your business acumen.

Masterclass
4:10 pm - 4:55 pm MasterClass: The Future of Learning Is Experiential: Tomorrow’s Leaders Demand More than PowerPoint Matthew Confer - Vice President of Strategy, AbilitieAccording to a recent survey in Training Magazine, 44% of training expenditures was allocated to management training or executive development. Companies are making this investment to offset a shrinking talent pool, by turning their current generation of managers into leaders. Yet traditional leadership training is falling short; too often, participants leave training programs with no insight into their leadership style, their strengths and weaknesses, or concrete ways to apply what they have learned in their daily lives.
Experiential learning succeeds where lectures and discussions struggle—in changing patterns of behavior. For example, managers who are non-confrontational can be immersed in a situation that requires them to practice assertiveness. Feedback and reflection on key experiences and moments—and the ability to try again —can lead to true improvements in behavior. At its core that is the power of experiential learning. In this session we will discuss:
- Identifying the factors that are leading participants to expect more immersive learning environments•Examples of different ways to leverage experiential learning ranging from onboarding, new manager training, all the way to senior executive development
- How to leverage virtual experiential learning when presented with blended learning opportunities that do not involve face to face interactions

L&D for “Deskless” Workers
Marco Madrazo -
Director, Learning Experience Design,
Holiday Inn Club Vacations
80% of workers are “deskless” working in a variety of both customer facing and remote positions, across all industries. These workers present a unique challenge to deploy learning and development programs, and skills and training requirements vary, so your training for these employees must be nimble and flexible to meet the most stringent state and quality standards. In this session, we will join Marco Madrazo, as he takes us through the journey that Holiday Inn Club Vacations has embarked on to become the most loved brand in family travel. As part of their mission, they are developing their frontline workforce into collaborative, high performance teams that are inspired by their culture of “customer obsession.” We will review the unique challenges that this group presents, and how they are improving the customer experience with new training methods and just-in-time training, including:
- How to build brand advocacy through leader-led workshops
- How to offer workflow training on the spot
- How to enhance competency through augmented reality
