| In 2011, ISPI is offering you an opportunity to dig a little deeper into the content and learn from distinguished theorists, researchers, and practitioners. Each afternoon, starting on April 11, you will have the chance to participate in one of four concurrent workshops. |
Monday, April 11, 2:45-5:45 pm The Executive's View: Managing Organizational Performance
Moderator: Lory Lanese, Intel Panelists: Carl A. Davenport, Director, Silicon Operations/Product Development Engineering for Embedded Intel-Architecture, Intel, Gregory Nell, VP Workforce Readiness, Lowe's Companies, Inc., Carlos Perea, President & CEO, MIOX, Dave Ruiz, President, Florida District, UPS, Marie Sullivan, President & CEO, Arizona Women's Education and Employment, Inc. Have your questions answered directly from the executives who believe in and use HPT--even if they don't call it that! The panel will share experiences and perspectives on how they are leading performance excellence in a holistic, systematic manner. Panelists are executives who understand that employees are the source of both organizational results and vision, and practice what they preach with help from professionals like you. The emphasis of the discussion will be on what, from the C-level perspective, internal and external practitioners of HPT must accomplish in order to add maximum value. Hone the focus of your work by hearing from those who own responsibility for client outcomes...and control client purse strings.
As a member of the audience, you will have an opportunity to submit your questions, which will be selected by the moderator and presented to the panel for discussion. New this year, you'll also get to interact with select executives in small groups, where you will learn more about the projects they consider most important, and about what factors encourage them to choose one performance improvement project over another. You will leave with an increased understanding of performance as viewed by the senior business leaders who are your end customers, and perhaps some new thoughts about the broader purpose of your own work. |

Harold Stolovitch, CPT, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Université de Montréal & Principal, HSA Learning & Performance Solutions LLC  Virtually all organizations that invest in workplace learning and performance activities cry out for some form of demonstration of bottom-line impact on organizational results.

Addison, CPT, EdD, Chief Performance Officer, Addison Consulting; Carol Haig, CPT, Principal, Carol Haig and Associates; and Lynn Kearny, CPT, Performance Consultant, Lynn Kearny and Associates  What makes one performance improvement solution produce promised results, while another falls short or fails utterly?

Share our 85+ years of collective wisdom as we explore the three organizational levels--Worker, Work, and Workplace--and learn to pinpoint the source of a performance issue. Try out helpful tools for each level, and create well-targeted solutions that deliver results every time.

Understanding and Managing Human Performance in Different Contexts and Globally
Klaus Wittkuhn, CPT, President, Performance Design International and Luise Schneider, CPT, General Manager, Performance Design International   Human performance depends on a number of variables that constantly change their importance dependent on the specific work context (company, culture) and on their own interdependencies. Therefore, performance improvement practitioners must know the context, the variables, and how they are interrelated to best analyze and implement performance improvement initiatives. They also have to be able to adapt the system culturally to meet the needs of diverse cultures throughout the world. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of performance-dependent variables at this workshop to enable them to systematically analyze and design context-specific performance systems that empower people to make full use of their potential in the workplace.
