Learning & Development : A Human Capital Approach

Course Introduction 

All learning is transformational according to Roseanna DeMaria, former chief learning officer at Merrill Lynch. For the last twenty years of her professional life, DeMaria has been involved with helping professionals achieve their career goals. She shares her expertise on a variety of subjects related to learning, coaching and the building of a learning culture.

In this course, DeMaria discusses how learning is transformational; the importance of learning and development to a business, particularly during times of crisis; the creation of company and individual learning plans; the relationship of learning plans to business needs. She discusses how the best learning methods are different for different people and training should be measured in improvements in performance. She also talks about why transformational learning should always be based on a business need; the development of a learning culture; performance DNA and the motivations of focus, fire, and fear; what makes a great leader; and how to lead during a crisis.
