Retreat to Analog. Leap to Digital: Capturing the Power of Visuals for Organizational Results 



As learning leaders there are a number of changes and challenges that we have no control over. These changes require us to constantly reassess our current practices to ensure learning remains relevant and current, and makes an impact on organizational performance. The 2013 ASTD Forum Fall Summit and Lab is designed to enable participants to gain an understanding of how visuals and images can impact our practice.

Visuals play a critical role in learning. Used effectively, they help organize thoughts more clearly and concisely, promote clarity, aid in recall, enhance energy levels, and create an overall richer learning experience. In essence, visuals help groups, especially enterprises working collectively to produce defined results, to arrive at a common meaning weather it is the organizational vision or the quarterly results.  

This is not a drawing class—but you will see how drawing and other visual tools like whiteboarding, visual journalism, storyboards, and infographics can be powerful innovation and learning tools. Attendees will uncover how visuals, both analog and digital, enable learning leaders to communicate more effectively with business partners and colleagues, and design and deliver more innovative products and services.

Some questions the Fall Summit will help you tackle:

• What is included in the visualization repertoire for learning? 
• How can visualization support your current practice?
• What specific visuals can you add to your practice?
• What are some best practices from member companies?

Attendee Benefits:

• Gain a deeper understanding of visualization (e.g. whiteboarding, and the impact it can have on learning.
• Apply collaborative design and problem-solving tools from the lab to your own practice.
• Collaborate and share best practices in a confidential environment with other senior learning professionals through interactive lab sessions.
• Network with  fellow practitioners.
