Award Winning Learning Experiences that Drive Outcomes
USA TODAY NETWORK was recognized by CLO with a Learning Practice Award for their design of personalized learning journeys. Their program includes collaborating with employees on development needs, providing learning coaches and customized learning paths across more than 100 locations.

Tim Mulligan, CHRO of Vulcan Inc received a Learning in Practice Award for the organization's approach to delivering a one-of-a-kind learning and development environment that engages employees every day.

Moving from search to a self-driven curation experience
On Monday October 14th Brad Beacom, Vice President-Senior Systems Consultant Talent Development at MUFG Union Bank N.A. showcased in his session "Making the Move From Self-Service Searching to Customized Content Curation" how the company's learning team connects, imports, manages and promotes flexible libraries of cutting-edge learning content from anywhere in order to fuel its L&D programs. The company knew that to flourish in a competitive job market, they needed to provide its employees with meaningful, personalized learning and development experiences, and ensure they have the skills needed to adapt to a changing business environment. Mr. Beacom shared how his team creates dynamic, personalized learning paths that empower Union Bank employees to learn on their own, while aligning learning outcomes to business goals.
Why learning and performance must intersect to drive business outcomes
On Tuesday, October 15, Anita Bowness, Principal Product Manager, Customer Success at Saba, will help session attendees make the critical link between personal learning, performance and strategic outcomes. She will present "The Learning & Performance Link — Making the Connection" – including case studies from high-performing organizations and research-backed strategies for delivering a learning experience that moves the needle on performance.
"The most important outcome of learning is improved performance, but the majority of organizations say learning is still not aligned with their business goals," said Bowness. "So how can organizations restore the lost connection? The answer is simple – proactively connect your learning and development plans to strategic goals and performance outcomes. The Saba customers featured at CLO Symposium this year are some stellar examples of the success this approach can bring."
