The theme for the International Society for Performance Improvement's (ISPI) 44th Annual International Performance Improvement Conference is
Researching the Radical: Validating Unconventional Technologies. NSPI, ISPI's predecessor, started as a radical group that challenged the status quo and offered innovative strategies related to the art of teaching and the science of learning. In 2006, we want to recapture those exciting times with a conference that reflects a return to radicalism. Even when we were wildly radical, we valued our basic belief in data, measurement, and the scientific method. We challenged our assumptions and discarded the claims of snake oil vendors. The conference theme also reflects this belief in empirically validating all radical new approaches.
ISPI's vision for this conference is to create an environment where:
- New ideas are treasured
- Challenging the status quo is prized
- Diverse opinions are respected
- Varied approaches to solving workplace problems are valued
To achieve this vision, we developed programming that on the surface seems misaligned with the tenets of Human Performance Technology (HPT), but when explored stimulates discussions that have professional relevance and real-world applicability.
In Dallas, we challenge participants to analyze the validity and veracity of long-held beliefs about what they do.
