for-profit world, effective talent
management serves as a critical

How about this for a provocative lead-in slide? Timely with all the movies about super heroes these days.In the Chat area, I’d love it if you would share with us about ways that you gave back in 2013. What volunteer activities were you fortunate to participate in. Enter them now. <respond back and thank them for their time and effort and generosity>Have you ever felt like a super hero in the work you do in training & development, human resources, and talent management?Well, I am honored and grateful to say that the work I do with the Cornerstone OnDemand Foundation makes me feel like this…on a daily basis. At the end of this presentation, I am hoping some of you on this webinar today will want to participate with me in a small way and be a super hero to a deserving non-profit organization here in the US and around the world.First a little about the Cornerstone OnDemand Foundation…
Read the quoteVisit out website to learn more about our foundation and watch a short video entitled “Out 2 cents” to see what we do.
Read Bersin QuoteWe have 4 active signature programs—I will review them briefly…all of these programs and services are centered around building capacity in NPs so they can more effectively and successfully fulfill their missionsUse your hand tool and raise your hand if you have ever done any HR Pro Bono volunteer work before. Just curious. <wait for responses>Summary, many if not most of you have never been approached to donate your wonderful education, knowledge, and experience in your suite spot—HR and Learning and Development. Today, I would like to change that.
Our HR Pro Bono initiative focuses on 3 talent management areas includingLearningPerformanceAnd SuccessionLet’s do a poll…if you were given the opportunity to partner with a non-profit, from the list displayed, which topics would interest you the most? Since we are focused on learning today, I split out learning into several topics while also including the other two areas of Performance and Succession. Let’s go for about 15-20 seconds and complete the poll.<review results>Thanks for that input!So, let’s take a look at some survey results from non-profits about their needs.
Folks…the need is great—greater than what we see in the for-profit sector or the public sector.These are survey results that really paint a tough picture for our non-profits. It’s also what motivates me to reach out to you—the Performance Support community—with this opportunity to help out.So, I humbly come before you today to ask you to set a goal for yourself in 2014 to investigate opportunities to give back. Maybe it’s a local non-profit that you are personally familiar with. Or maybe you’d like to partner with one of the many regional, national, and even global non-profits we are working with.So, let me show the process of how we engage pro bono volunteers to give back.
Looking toward the future, we anticipate we will have needs in following areas:In general, we anticipate we will need volunteers to guide non-profits to:Select an authoring tool for elearning and rapid development needsCreate learning measuresCreate learning strategies—how to make sense of all our training “stuff” and put it together into a meaningful offeringIn our Gift of Learning Portal, we anticipate that we will need volunteers to:Serve as SMEs on specific topicsCreate resources (i.e. 5-10 minute best practice videos)In our veterans initiative, we also see a need for volunteers to:Create helpful resources for returning vets to handle tough interview questions, leverage your social network, and more
Before I wrap up, I have to tell you about the signature program I am most involved with at this time…the DisasterReady.org portal.
Pakistan floods in 2010 One of our clients Save TheChildren needed to train 3,000 volunteers and needed to deploy them quickly. We saw an oppt’y to leverage our learning and social networking software more broadly to provide high-quality, online training at no cost to aid workers and the ability to connect with one another all over the worldIn our DisasterReady.org signature program, we could use volunteers to help us:Update courses as neededCreate comprehensive curriculums for humanitarian workers and disaster relief workersHelp us achieve our goal of rapid development of resources within hours and days of an event such as the recent typhoon in the PhilippinesThere are many more – the future is very bright and there is a lot more work we can do to help these organizations to serve more people
So, I could tell you more, but I hope I have wet your appetite and given you some ideas to think about.I would love to see a whole bunch of you fill out our online form and just start the process of considering how you might give back in 2014. Here’s what I want you to consider as next steps…
<Read the notes>Remember, there is no obligation. You control when and how you participate. My colleagues on our Foundation team will make sure this is a great fit once you decide you are ready.
