Career Chat: From Instructional Designer to Chief Learning Officer with Frank Nyugen

#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

So you want to be a CLO? Are you sure? Do you really know what it means to be a CLO?
According to Wikipedia:
"A chief learning officer (CLO) is the highest-ranking corporate officer in charge of learning management. CLOs may be experts in corporate or personal training, with degrees in education, instructional design, business or similar fields.
Qualified CLOs should be able to drive the corporate strategy and align the development of people with the business goals of the organization. A full complement of skills, including business analytics, technology, learning theory, performance consulting and scientific inquiry, are important for success.[1]
The CLO may report directly to the CEO, but may also report to the Head of HR or Chief Talent Officer."
In this episode Frank Nguyen will join us for a special IDIODC Career Chat. We will discuss his "origin story" and how he discovered a career in Learning and Development. And while not all of his titles were CLO, he has been in several executive roles equal too or even better than CLO. Is that even possible? We'll find out.
We will also talk about the projects he is most proud of and the hurdles he overcame to accomplish the tasks. How he develops learning strategies for the companies he leads will also be a hot topic.
Most importantly we'll get his feedback on what he thinks it takes for YOU to work your way up the corporate ladder to CLO. Join us for a fun conversation with one of our favorite L&D professionals, Frank Nguyen.
