Baylor, PhD and Root Bradford of Memorial Hermann Health Systems as they share their journey of using "MHU Online" to cultivate a culture of learning, and how they moved from a standard of "pushing" out training content to their user population to a practice of "pulling", where users seek and self-select the learning they need and want. Get a glimpse in to Memorial Hermann's introduction of the Professional Skills Catalog, their staged transition to Learner Home as their portal's landing page, and other valuable lessons they've learned since 2020—and how everything supported their progress toward becoming a learning organization.

using training forms in learning curricula to cultivate commitment

June 28, 2023
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET

Presenter: Nicole Crubaugh, Senior Consultant, Professional Services, eSkillz Corp.

In today's fast paced world, learners often complete training assignments and move on to the nest "to-do" without pausing to reflect and commit to daily application of the concepts learned and knowledge gained. By pairing Cornerstone's training forms with topic-based online learning, you can capture and report on your users' commitment to action and boost buy-in for utilizing newly learned skills! Join us for a case study review of a solution implemented for the Department of Commerce, as eSkillz Senior Consultant Nicole Crubaugh showcases how the International Trade Administration (ITA) was able to leverage training forms within curricula for their "Succession Planning Cohort" training program.
