DEMO - Developing Your People: the 70 | 20 | 10 Framework
May 10, 2023 | 4-5 pm EST
Join us for a FREE DEMO! HR and L&D Professionals are invited to experience a "Learning Together" demo. This peer learning event, explores the benefits of using the 70:20:10 Framework.
When managers are effective at development, employees are more satisfied, more adaptable to change, and more committed to their organization. The 70:20:10 framework can change your organization’s learning and development practices to create a more resilient workforce and a culture of continuous learning. 70:20:10 is a simple concept. It describes the way adults learn best in the workplace: through a combination of experience, social exposure, and formal education. This requires a change of mindset, from seeing learning as a preparation for work, to seeing it as a driver for change within and beyond the daily workflow.
What to expect:
- A brief introduction.
- 60 minutes of peer learning in a Zoom breakout room with other HR and L&D professionals.
After the event we invite you to discover Vertical Leadership's Learning Together programs for your organization. We create the space for people to have human conversations and develop connections critical in the workplace!

KHRMA Day of Development
May 12, 2023 - Radisson Plaza Hotel in Kalamazoo, Mi In-person event
The Decade of Disruption Requires Adaptive Leadership
The message from the last few years is painfully clear: business leaders need to be able to handle and even thrive in disruption. According to world renowned leadership experts the single biggest derailer for leaders is the inability to recognize that not all problems can be solved with expertise! Leaders are facing both technical and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges are those that can be solved by the knowledge of experts, whereas adaptive challenges are complex and ambiguous in nature, and may be volatile or unpredictable. Solutions to these types of challenges usually require people to learn new ways of doing things, change their attitudes, values and norms and adopt an experimental mind-set.
Unfortunately, most leaders haven’t been developed to do this! They might have even been promoted because of their expertise and are quite attached to being the smartest in the room. Adaptive challenges require leaders to recognize the limitations of their perspectives, activate the intelligence and capability of their team, and expand their own decision-making capabilities. This session will help HR Leaders understand how the world has shifted and pathways to develop the skills their leaders desperately need to thrive in disruption.
