Tampa, FL, October 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Vandall to revisit dynamic social learning presentation on the heels of engagement at Liberty Mutual Conference
Mike Vandall, RedVector’s Executive Vice President of Business Development, has been asked to speak for the second consecutive year at the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Conference. Mr. Vandall, a well-known expert in learning technologies for the design and construction industry, is scheduled to present on Thursday, October 29th.
An engaging and popular speaker, Mr. Vandall most recently addressed social learning for the corporate venue at Liberty Mutual’s Risk Management Conference, where he saw first-hand the need to clarify both its advantages and pitfalls to an audience of corporate decision makers.
“Sometimes senior executives are resistant to the idea that social media and learning can be helpful to corporations when used correctly and will be essential in the future,” said Vandall. “But the response from people who followed up on the topic afterward was revealing. One of the principals of an established architecture firm said he went home ‘feeling a bit out of touch’… so he did a little homework. His conclusion? ‘I need to get with it. Just need to figure out where to start….’ “
Vandall says this type of realization speaks to a common misperception – that social media is “something that kids do” when in fact, the age of the average user is trending ever higher and some of its purpose and content is rapidly maturing. Fortunately, implementing social learning tools can be cost-effective and quick.
Mr. Vandall’s presentation gives executive professionals an overview of the potential of social learning by laying out the pertinent facts in logical order with intelligence and wit. ACG attendees will have the opportunity to gain insight into social learning trends, ask questions and speak with Mr. Vandall at the conference.
