AIGA Nitty-Gritty  Professional Development - Making It Work

How do you get your boss to invest? AND How can I make the best investment in my staff?

Are you frustrated because your boss never says Yes! to your requests for investment in your professional development, whether that means just upgrading your software skills or getting financial support to go to the next AIGA Design Conference? Or perhaps you're on the other side of the fence, frustrated because you never see concrete return from your investment in staff development or wondering why your staff just don't seem to care?

Whichever side of the fence you're on this Nitty-Gritty will show you how to approach professional development so both sides get a clear win/win. We'll spend 55 minutes discussing:

• Why professional development is good for staff and the firm - no matter how big or small your design company is
• Top three ways to get a YES!
• Playing the long game - the best time to start talking about it
• How to draw the connection between professional development and benefit to the firm
• Top three ways to get the most out of your investment in staff development
