How to Make Your Team Meetings Your Most Powerful Training Tool

How to Make Your Team Meetings Your Most Powerful Training Tool
×
Most learning strategies rely on events: workshops, courses, offsites, and hour-long videos. But real behavior change doesn’t happen in one-off moments. It happens through your most powerful asset: recurring meetings.
Standups. 1:1s. Retros. Reviews. These rituals are repetitive — and repetition is how habits form.
Join us as we explore how to redesign everyday meetings into micro-learning systems that reinforce skills and shape culture in real time. Teams spend 60–70% of their collaboration time in recurring meetings. Instead of adding more training to already full calendars, what if we transformed the meetings we’re already having into micro-learning systems? This session reframes meetings as the most underutilized learning environment in modern organizations — and shows you how to redesign them for habit-based growth.

Modernizing Workforce Enablement with LearnOps: Powering Academies and Operational Excellence

Corporate learning teams are under increasing pressure to demonstrate business impact while operating with tighter budgets and limited resources. In this session, ICW Group—one of the largest privately held insurance carriers in the United States—and Cognota share how they partnered to modernize workforce enablement through a LearnOps approach that connects learning operations to business priorities.
You’ll learn how ICW Group stood up business-aligned academies while targeting a double-digit reduction in L&D operating expenses. By moving from disconnected tools to an integrated, data-informed operating model, the team unlocked thousands of hours in annual capacity—delivering greater impact without adding headcount.
The session will also share practical lessons from ICW Group’s transformation and the high-level ROI story behind the change: hundreds of thousands of dollars in value creation with payback measured in weeks, not years.
