SUMMARY:W449: Lightweight Framework for Your Association's Data Strategy
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nLack of a documented data strategy is a leading reason data initiatives struggle or even fail. This is primarily because it seems difficult\, expensive\, and overwhelming to create. That’s why we’ve built a lightweight process for mapping out and documenting a data strategy you can use in your association.  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nAssess your current state\, build a future state vision\, and identify gaps and solutions in each of 4 focus areas: \n\n– Organization and Culture – people\, processes\, values and leadership\n– Strategic Alignment – how your data practices align to association KPIs\, decision-making and business processes\n– Technology – systems\, integrations\, security and privacy\n– Data – governance\, quality\, availability\, reporting\, and analytics  \n\nAfter the session\, you should have a framework and plan of action to start building your data strategy! \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:W453: The True Implications of AI for the Association Industry: Part 1 –Managing the Risks and Disruption of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nThe True Implications of AI for the Association Industry \nA four-part strategic conversation between forward thinking industry leaders and YOU\, about how association leaders should be thinking about the impact of generative AI on the association industry as a whole\, as well as on your own association and its members.  This series will provide food for thought and some questions for consideration\, through a full group discussion hosted by a small group of panelists who have already put a lot of thought into these topics and have some insight to share. The bulk of the time will be for general discussion and Q&A – you will be sure to leave with your mind buzzing as well as some practical ideas and next steps to bring back to your organization. \nWe will cover the following topics: \n  \nPart 1 –Managing the Risks and Disruption of Generative AI \nGenerative AI is more than just chatbots and weird art – we need to understand how it works\, in order to start figuring out how we might manage risk and disruption to our industries.  In this session\, we’ll start with a baseline explanation for non-techies\, then dig into what this means for association leaders and how we should be thinking about the implications: \nInternal disruption – How will AI fit into governance? Organizational Strategy? Change management and evolving how we work? HR implications? \nExternal disruption –  how this will impact our members and our association sector – what does this mean for existing credentialing and professional education? Cybersecurity? How will it affect how our members do their jobs or run their companies? What role do associations need to play in leading their stakeholders in understanding the implications? \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \n  \nPart 2 – Considerations for Adding AI to Your Tech Stack \nAI functionality has been part of our tech stack for a while\, of course\, but we’re about to see an avalanche of new tools\, plugins and features from the big platforms we use everyday (looking at you\, Microsoft and Google).  How do we manage this onslaught of shiny tools?  And how do we get proactive about researching and adding other new tools to evolve our tech strategy and tech stack?  How do we keep on top of security risks?  \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \nREGISTER for Part 2 \n  \nPart 3 – Personalization\, Privacy and AI \nPersonalization\, targeted content\, and questions of privacy have been points of discussions for years. Why then are the very people who touted the value of personalizing online experiences decrying the wickedness of generative AI? Google\, Facebook\, and even LinkedIn ply us with ads and content based on algorithms we will never see. In fact\, harnessing those algorithms to our benefit is the holy grail of marketers. We will discuss the high-level differences that make the considerations for generative AI and narrative chat a new\, and often concerning new tool in the hands of both good and bad actors. \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \nREGISTER for Part 3 \n  \nPart 4 – Responsible AI And Associations’ Role In Defining The Ethics Of AI \nThe Responsible AI Manifesto states\, “We have to be willing to have the hard conversations now so that we do not ruin what can be one of the most transformative technological shifts in human history. As AI capabilities race forward\, leaders must clearly define their principles\, policies and procedures.”  How can associations – standards-bearers by design—lead the charge?  How should we start thinking about the ethics of AI\, starting at home in our own organizations?  \nBring your questions\, ideas\, and resources/links if you have some!  All sessions in this series will provide actionable resources from panelists and participants for all to take away. \nREGISTER for Part 4 \n  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Gain an understanding of the risks and disruption Generative AI can cause\n– Learn how to incorporate AI into organizational governance\, strategy and change management\n– Get insights on how this impacts existing credentialing and professional education\n– Network with and learn from a panel of experts to take away actionable resources\n– Explore ways to lead stakeholders effectively in understanding Generative AI implications\n\n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:B181: 2024 Prediction: The AI Leapfrog Year for Associations
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the last 25 years\, organizations and members have connected online. In just less than a year\, generative AI has transformed the way technology is being built. We predict in 2024\, many associations are primed for a leapfrog kind of year\, where they jump from barely using AI to making it a core part of their nondues revenue strategy. We are experiencing a software revolution where association staff\, members\, and industry partners will merge together in online marketplaces where business\, knowledge sharing\, and connection will be a seismic shift in how we “associate.” \nJoin the team at Qiqo (Quality-in\, Quality-out) to hear how an online\, association-specific marketplace can open up new possibilities for how your members connect with industry partners on their own terms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n\n\n\n\n●  Explore the dynamics of word-of-mouth marketing and identify strategies to supercharge it.\n●  Design peer-to-peer knowledge sharing sessions for your members that require minimal pre-work\, yet provide deeper engagement.\n●  Brainstorm ways to turn your association’s wealth of information into a sustained and growing body of knowledge for your members to access through AI.\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:B196: SEO Crash Course: It's Not Just Keywords
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nSearch engine optimization (SEO) can be a daunting task for any business or website owner\, but mastering it is crucial for online success. Many believe that SEO is all about choosing the right keywords and hoping for the best. However\, in reality\, it’s far more complex than that. To properly optimize your website\, you must also focus on technical SEO\, on-page SEO\, and off-page SEO (link building). Conducting thorough keyword research is essential\, but it’s just the beginning. Technical SEO ensures that your website is optimized for search engine crawlers\, while on-page SEO focuses on content and website structure. Off-page SEO involves building relationships with other websites through backlinks to increase your page authority. To give your website the best chance of appearing at the top of search engine results\, it’s important to take a well-rounded approach to SEO. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n– Keyword Research\n– Technical SEO\n– On-Page SEO\n– Off-Page SEO (Link Building) \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:W462: Winning the Talent War - It's All About Your Brand\, Culture\, and Benefits
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nThe talent market has been fierce post pandemic and it doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon – what must nonprofits do to attract and retain the best people?

A thriving employee culture is ultimately what sets great employers apart from the rest of the marketplace.

Learn how to develop all 3 of these critical elements to become a “go-to” employer of choice! \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Learn why your BRAND matters more than you might realize in terms of attracting the right people\n– Learn why your culture is really what retains talent and fosters their growth\n– Learn how to make the benefits you offer to your employees an extension of your value proposition and a reinforcement of the good decision to work there\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:M339: The Evolution of Microlearning: Contextual Microlearning
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nMicrolearning has gained a lot of traction in organizations in the last couple of decades. However\, the traditional microlearning concept still requires the learner to step out of context to search and discover the information they need. \nWouldn’t it be great if there was a way that the information came to the learner instead of the learner searching for the information? \nThis is where Contextual Microlearning comes in to the picture. This session will demonstrate\, with real-life examples\, the power of Contextual Microlearning and why it’s so much better and more effective for our learners compared to the traditional form of microlearning. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– How microlearning came to be and what challenges it looked to solve\n– Why traditional microlearning is not as effective as it used to be\n– What is contextual microlearning\n– The differences between microlearning and contextual microlearning\n– How to apply contextual microlearning within your organization\n– How to calculate continuous return on investment of contextual microlearning to evaluate if it’s working or not\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:B158: What You Don't Know About Payments
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nCredit card processing or Merchant Services is widely used by businesses and nonprofit organizations.  One can hardly image today going through life without being able to purchase goods and services without using a credit card.   In spite of its ubiquitousness in commerce\, there are a lot of things that organizations are not being told about credit card processing (aka Merchant Services).  If you know some important things that you are NOT being told today by your service provider (or in the general media)\, you would have greater opportunities for data security\, cost savings\, and process improvements (i.e.\, eliminating manual processes). \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Learn about 4 important payment trends which emerged from the pandemic and are here to stay.\n– Learn two key changes you should make with your payment and credit card collection practices.\n– Understand Credit card fees — what you are NOT being told and why that is costing your organization money.\n– Learn alternatives to credit card collections — the ecosystem that supports Visa/MasterCard and AMEX definitely don’t want you to know this.\n– Learn PCI compliance and security issues — why are you not aware of this.\n– Learn how to do an RFP for Merchant Services — an outline that you can use today.\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
