Gain Commitment To Accomplish What Is Most Important
Without a strategy, HR leaders can find themselves in a firefight and wonder where the days and weeks go. Depending on one’s experiences with strategic planning activities, they may be cynical about spending time on strategic planning. It’s possible to create a strategy that builds excitement within an organization and doesn’t sit on the shelf. In this workshop we will discuss strategies to remove the frustration out of strategic planning.

Date: 20 Apr 2016 12:00 PM EDT

Prezi is a cloud-based tool used to communicate ideas visually. Unlike PowerPoint and other slide-based platforms, Prezi presentations are three-dimensional. In this webinar you’ll see how Prezi’s dynamic movement can engage your audience, how its non-linear structure can form a cognitive map for your learner, and how facilitators can present it non-sequentially to best match instruction to the learners’ needs.
After this session, you’ll be able to weigh the costs and benefits of using Prezi in place of PowerPoint for training.
