Workplace examples and collaborative analyses of case studies pull participants into active problem solving, as they learn the foundations of performance improvement. The program demonstrates proven tools and techniques in use in the performance improvement arena today. Participants will apply the skills of performance consulting and the techniques introduced in this workshop to diagnose performance improvement opportunities and prescribe strategies and tactics to address them. Takeaways include models, best practices, resources and a network of colleagues with a broad array of expertise.

You Will Learn To:

• Define Human Performance Technology.
• Define performance and describe how to apply the HPT model to improve performance. 
• Apply the Total Performance System to identify performance issues.

• Prescribe appropriate interventions that could eliminate performance gaps.

"It's the best [workshop] I've been to in my civilian career. As far as I am concerned, this is the workshop to attend for anyone trying to get their arms around what performance consulting is all about."

"The workshop was long on practical application and short on theory. The knowledge, experience, and real-world examples [the faculty] provided greatly enhanced the learning experience."

Making the Transition to Performance Improvement

Award-Winning, Three-day Performance Improvement Institute
Developed by ISPI

Sunday, April 10 to Tuesday, April 12
8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Mackenzie II, Fairmont Hotel

Registration Code: WST

Faculty: Roger Addison, CPT, Lynn Kearny, CPT, Geary Rummler, CPT, and Klaus Wittkuhn, CPT

Many HR, OD, Training, ISD and performance improvement professionals acknowledge that training is seldom the sole solution to a business problem. In recent years HR and OD managers and trainers have learned the value of expanding their traditional focus to applying a broader strategy that uses Human Performance Technology - a process of selection, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of programs to most cost-effectively influence human behavior and accomplishment - to improve workplace performance. 

But what does a performance improvement department look like in action? How can a traditional HR, OD or Training department make the transition to a performance improvement function? What skills are needed? What are the risks and the benefits of making this transition? The Institute will address and answer these questions in three days of hands-on, interactive learning. The knowledge gained is immediately applicable in the workplace and is designed to produce the highest return on investment for participating organizations. 

You Will Learn To:

• Develop a strategic plan to move your HR, OD or Training department toward a human performance improvement organization.
• Identify and learn to apply the knowledge, skills, and resources you will need to implement your strategic plan. 
• Learn the fundamentals of human performance improvement: the models, the methods, and the benefits. 
• Learn how to diagnose workplace problems and apply a variety of training and non-training solutions that improve performance and provide an increased return on investment. 
• Improve your organization's effectiveness and bottom line. 
• Improve your own performance.

Making the Transition to Performance Improvement is a three-day, hands-on learning event guided by master performance improvement experts and case study presenters. 

The Institute provides a forum for participants to problem-solve with a faculty of human performance technology experts and other professional colleagues. 

Instructional strategies include lecture, case studies, small group discussions and skill practice. 

The program uses best practices from human performance technology to assist you in making the transition to performance improvement.

Takeaways include models, best practices, networking and partnership skills, techniques for marketing performance improvement, and a value proposition. 

Program Topics Include:

• Human Performance Technology (HPT): An Overview
• An Introduction to the Models and Methods of Human Performance Improvement
• Techniques to Educate Line Management about Performance Improvement
• The Levels of Performance Improvement
• Moving to Performance Improvement
• Building Your Performance Improvement Network and Partnerships
• Performance Improvement Tools and Techniques
• Marketing Performance Improvement in Your Organization
• Performance Improvement Tips and Traps
• Building Your Value Proposition

You Will Participate In:

* The Cracker Barrel roundtable discussion format allows faculty members to share their expertise in a relaxing and fun atmosphere. 

Continental breakfast and lunch are included in the course fee.
