The Topic: Leadership Development at the Gap - A Case Study in the Impact of Active Leadership on Performance

The Gap Inc. Canada case study is an example of how an organization employed a leadership development program to bring about improvements in management capability and financial results.

Active Leadership at The Gap translated into increased sales conversion, reduced loss of product in stores, and improved employee satisfaction. Rigorously implemented, backed by the executive, and followed up with a thorough post-training ROI impact study and ongoing enthusiasm, the organization has achieved tangible results. With a minimum return on investment of $8,000.00 per participant, The Gap demonstrates that training programs can generate benefits far surpassing their actual cost.

On May 11th, Paul will share his expertise and insight in leadership development with ISPI Vancouver, using the Active Leadership Program. Paul will share his insights on the role leadership training plays as a significant factor in creating a productive and high-performing workforce.

What will you learn?

Join us for this session with Paul and learn:

  • How to build a business case for leadership training
  • How to link leadership development to tangible leadership training to business KPI's (knowledge performance indicators)
  • How to utilize all 4 levels of the Kirkpatrick model of Evaluation
  • How your training programs can be integrated into all people management related processes and initiatives
