If you are a Human Resource professional or responsible for organising training in your company, I'm sure you won't want to miss this great opportunity to network with your peers and meet some old friends as well as make some new ones. You'll also be able to have some light snacks and refreshments, and I'm sure you will agree that it will be a really great afternoon of sharing and learning!

I'm delighted to say that Rebecca Morgan will be making a special keynote presentation at this Training Forum. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn from one of the best people-development experts making a rare visit to Singapore. Rebecca's unique solutions have made her in demand working with top companies to help improve their people's productivity.

As well as Rebecca, you will also have the opportunity to meet some of my principal training associates, including Brenda Bence, Heather Hansen, Alison Lester, Al Argo and Ricky Lien. We will all be making up a panel of experts, and we will answer your questions in an Open Forum session.

	Do you know what skill sets your staff need to meet your organisation's objectives next year?
	What are your challenges in developing your key talent to step up to the next level?
	What has worked for you in the past to develop your staff that isn't working now?
	Is your idea of staff development promoting them and seeing if they sink or swim?

Often the only solution offered to develop critical staff is to send them to a one/two-day training workshop. However, there are other ways to help your people grow into significant contributors. Sometimes it takes creating hybrid solutions, or crafting uncommon ways to deliver training.

In this revealing session, Rebecca Morgan will:

• share her strategies for designing development solutions that may - or may not - involve training
• discuss how to measure the results of the training, not only of increased learner knowledge but of enhanced application of that knowledge
• illustrate some out-of-the-box examples of how to develop your key people
• propose some low-cost, low-time alternatives
• offer some ideas on how you can get higher ROI from any development effort
• suggest how you can create accountability for learning between the learner and his/her manager to ensure application of the learning on the job
• demonstrate her '3-legged stool' approach, which clearly indicates the importance of gaining commitment from all parties to ensure a successful result from training

This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to learn from one of the best people-development experts making a rare visit to Singapore.
