"This year I have learned more from TMagNetwork than any other place," according to one TMagNetwork member.

After growing Training Magazine Network for the past two years, we found the same: Learning by growing Training Magazine Network to over 13,000 members has given us a rare opportunity to apply the theories and emerge with facts, best practices and anecdotes to share with our colleagues in learning.

In this webinar series, we will share statistics, stories, and insights that will inspire you and guide you in your own implementations.

Before and after the webinars we will provide: a follow-up white paper with two in-depth webinars on “TMagNetwork – Lessons Learned from Web 2.0 Technology Development, Implementation and Support” and “TMagNetwork – The Psychology of Growing a Large Learning Community.”

During this webinar, you will learn:
1. The compelling leadership needs, gaps, opportunities, and decisions

2. Our biggest payback, costly failures and big Ah-Ha! Moments

3. Finding a business model while growing the network

4. What made it a viable initiative

5. The behind-the-scene strategies and tactics on the business ROI

6. Key strategies in technology, learning philosophy, and implement

7. What we would do over again and what to avoid.
