We'll discuss the competencies of effective trainers and how to coach to this level of excellence using our process as an example. Participants will be able to:

Michiel Bloem, TopSwimming Amsterdam, and Arnoud Vermei, WEB Performance Have you ever dreamt of participating as an athlete in the Olympic games? Did you succeed? Well, the presenters didn't succeed as athletes. But, as WEB Performance consultants, they created a new opportunity in performance called TopSwimming Amsterdam. Begun in 2001, this initiative was launched to "close the gap" to be able to perform at the highest Olympic swim level by applying performance technology concepts to the world of elite sports, marrying business performance experiences with physical and mental research, and shaping a performance environment driven by ambition and with a structural shortage of funding. The results--four swim athletes present in the 2004 Olympics in Athens. In this session, you will experience this exciting journey. It offers you the opportunity to learn how common (and less common) performance improvement concepts prove their value in unusual territories. In addition, it will inspire you to think about your "Olympic dream." By attending this session, you will experience how common concepts of performance improvement can be applied in unusual environments. Participants will be able to:

Judith Hale, CPT, PhD, Hale Associates This session continues with ideas presented at the 2004 conference. Institutionalizing change is much more than launching a new program with announcements, rallies, and rollouts. Implementation requires organization change--in behaviors, management practices, systems, and relationships. Unfortunately organizations rarely think through the full implications of trying to institutionalize new ways of operating. This session will explain tools you can use to increase the probability that new behaviors and the results you want are sustained over time. Participants will receive a set of tools and a model they can immediately apply to their own situation. Participants will be able to:

Margo Murray, CPT, MBA, MMHA The Managers' Mentors, Inc. Mentoring is a hot topic. Is it a "fit," a valuable addition, for your organization? An efficient, comprehensive Readiness Assessment will guide you to the answer. This session will describe simple data-gathering techniques and tools. Training 2002 reported 77% of "The 100 Best" had mentoring programs. A diligent search revealed that most were ether-ware, or one-shot "pilots." Why? They were not directly fitted to goals, needs, opportunities, nor were they contributing measurable results. Participants will be able to:

Matthew Richter, CPT, The Thiagi Group Organizations spend millions of dollars each year trying to increase motivation at work. Unfortunately, their attempts don't affect performance long term and often make matters worse. They focus on rewards, recognition, feedback, and so forth. This presentation takes a different approach. It uses principles of intrinsic motivation to provide organizations with strategies and tactics for creating environments where employees will find their own motivators, commit to long-term working relationships, and become more satisfied on a day-to-day basis. Participants will be able to:

Cal Wick, Fort Hill Company Maximizing human performance improvement and return-on-investment from training and development requires a systematic design and end-to-end management.

This session will introduce the six disciplines and tools required to convert corporate learning into business results. Each will be illustrated with examples from leading corporations. Participants will be able to:

Learners review a real-world example, define strategy elements, and identify how the implementation strategy supported the organization's efforts to change employees' behavior.

Joanne P. Mowat, MEd, The Herridge Group Inc., and Joanne Ponting, Canada Revenue Agency Your organization thinks that reusable learning objects are the way to go--but how do you know if the approach is technically, organizationally, and culturally feasible?
