How many potential leaders are you leaving behind?

THE CHALLENGE: How do you deliver effective and sustainableperformance development to leaders at all levels of the organization?

Organizations can no longer afford to provide quality leadership development to employees only once they’ve reached the ranks of senior management. Too much has changed. Critical decisions today are made daily in cubicles and home offi ces—not just the board room. And technology is connecting front-line employees directly with your most important clients—globally. The bottom line: developing effective leaders at all levels of the organization is no longer a secondary priority; it’s a matter of survival.

Yet few organizations are adapting their employee development systems to suffi ciently address this most basic need. Individual training rarely aligns with the organization’s real needs. Traditional classroom delivery focuses on one-time events vs. a sustainable process. And limited budgets force HR to reserve sophisticated blended programs for high-potential employees, leaving web-based resources, IT training and limited classroom space for the rest.

Your employees deserve better. PDI Ninth House has created a fresh approach to leadership development that appeals to the in-telligence of today’s workers while engaging their hearts like an Oscar-winning movie. By integrating best-in-class content into engaging online learning and practical classroom application, we deliver a blended learning process that can reach the entire organization. Not only is the PDI Ninth House approach faster and more cost-effi cient than traditional training, it’s more effective. At last, organizations can systematically develop leaders where they need them most—everywhere.

Great Content + Blended Delivery = Breakthrough Results

Organizations face a multitude of challenges to survive in today’s global economy. The impact of automation, downsizing and global outsourcing has put enormous pressure on leaders to achieve greater results with fewer resources. Employees now need advanced skill sets that enable them to constantly innovate, adapt, and manage others through a turbulent environment. PDI Ninth House partners with your organization to implement customized leadership development solutions and address its unique business issues.

Leadership and High-Potential Development Organizational leaders and high-potential employees take action. They proactively seek out creative solutions to emerging problems and inspire those around them to do the same. Organizations that develop these leaders internally develop greater management bench strength. They reduce the cost of hiring from outside, and motivate employees to their greatest potential. PDI Ninth House solutions show emerging leaders how to develop their own strengths, how to lead different types of teams, how to resolve confl ict and increase productive communication, and how to initiate and manage change instead of reacting to it.

Selecting, Developing and Retaining Top TalentA high performance workforce is critical for success in today’s economy. And organizations that don’t actively and consistently invest in developing their employees quickly fi nd themselves unable to execute on key objectives. PDI Ninth House programs teach managers how to identify the right talent for their team, how to coach and manage them to ensure their success, and how to con-stantly align their employees’ needs with those of the organization for long-term motivation and retention.

Creating an Adaptive OrganizationCompanies must adapt and overcome to stay competitive. For business leaders struggling to keep their companies lean, innova-tive, and competitive, the situation today is marked by constant change. PDI Ninth House addresses these issues with a series of programs that present new ideas on how to empower innovation at all levels of the organization, how to lead and navigate through change, and how to leverage data-based decision-making to drive breakthroughs in organizational thinking.

Transform Learning from a One-time Event to a Sustainable Process

With traditional training, 90% of a learner’s time is spent on the event of receiving the course content. Yet study after study has proven that measurable changes in behavior come from applying, practicing and reinforcing new ideas. PDI Ninth House has dramatically changed the standard “learning event” into an integrated and sustainable process. This empowers organizations by allowing them to focus on their core compencies—reaching and exceeding their business goals.

Learning is an experience. Experiences change behavior. Behavior drives results. The process of designing blended learning began

at PDI Ninth House with an in depth look into engaging human experiences that capture the hearts and imaginations of learners—

blockbuster movies, interactive videogames, heart-stopping simulations, and personal trial and error all served as models for a

better learning experience that “sticks”… often times for life.

We unite the best of these online and interactive techniques and combine them with the community of the classroom to create an

effective blended learning experience that learners remember and put into practice.

It’s All About Experience

Sustain—Behavioral Reinforcement

Studies indicate that up to 85% of all learning is lost if not reinforced within 30 days. With PDI Ninth House discussion tools and Instant Advice®, daily behavioral reinforcement is as simple as point and click. A searchable and “emailable” catalog of over 450 inter-active video modules provides real-time access to sound advice for today’s most common business challenges.

Behavioral Change—The United States Navy

Since implementing online training, more than 40,000 sailors have taken PDI Ninth House leadership courses. Those who completed the program increased their knowledge and retention of leadership course material by over 44%. As part of an in-depth measurement study, the Center for Naval Analysis Corporation (CNAC) also proved that our courses cost 94% less than traditional classroom training and can be completed in 1/10th of the time. But most importantly, Navy personnel who participated in the PDI Ninth House training program demonstrated a statistically signifi cant improvement in on-the-job performance.

Cost-savings—The United States Department of Justice

After deploying to more than 4,000 learners, the Department of Justice estimated that training with PDI Ninth House saved them over $2,400 per person when compared to the cost of traditional classroom training. That resulted in a $10M plus savings in the fi rst two years alone. Furthermore, the DOJ found that completing our programs took considerably less time than traditional classroom training—6 hours vs 40 hours—resulting in even further cost savings and a measurable increase in productivity.
