Webinar - Affinitize! Organize Ideas, Data, and More…

Description:

Ever throw sticky notes against a wall to see....what sticks? That's called an Affinity exercise (or diagram). Affinity exercises are great for taking chaotic amounts of information and forming them into cohesive groups. But too often people try to do it by throwing sticky notes on the wall and clumsily having teams move the notes around. Learn the methods of an organized affinity exercise so you can fully harness the power of this tool. This session will use hands-on practice and show how to run an effective Affinity Exercise using several different methods/tools.

Join L&D Philly and Continuous Process Improvement Consultant Craig Plain for this lighthearted, interactive, and powerful exploration of how to use Affinity exercises effectively to produce better (training) results.
