Driving and Measuring Individual and Business Performance Results from Training: The High Impact Learning Approach
Robert O. Brinkerhoff, EdD, & Tim Mooney, Advantage Performance Group
Workshop Code: WSA

How do you ensure that training investments achieve consistent--and measurable--performance and business improvement results? This workshop presents the principles, methods, and tools that training leaders from more than 40 Fortune 500 companies have pioneered over the past four years, working in a User Group partnership with Advantage Performance Group. Together, these bold and innovative leaders have taken the High Impact Learning approach from theory to practice, doubling and tripling (and more) the return on investment of their learning investments.

Participants will be able to:

• Practice and apply (in a business case simulation) the key principles of the courageous training approach pioneered by the High Impact Learning User Group.
• Learn and apply the key steps for partnering with line managers to surface and link critical business, work unit, and individual performance improvement goals to learning programs.
• Understand and practice, using an impact mapping tool, linking learning needs and performance objectives to business goals.
• Understand and apply the principles of the success case method for practically and credibly evaluating the business impact of learning interventions.
• Take home examples of the high impact approach they can use with their training and performance improvement clients.

Wearing Business Glasses: A Guide to Adding Value to Your Clients' Businesses
Lynn Kearny, CPT, Performance Consultant
Workshop Code: WSB

We have many HPT models to guide us. But most of us lack business models to help us see the organization as business managers do. This workshop looks at how business managers think and provides an understanding of their values and needs. You will learn the underlying assumptions and metrics that drive management decision making. You will apply concepts to familiar organizations (including your own), and you will leave with an extensive job aid describing business logic and the analysis procedure.

Participants will be able to:

• Using a job aid, identify the business logics (external, economic, strategic, customer, product/service, process, internal/learning) that drive a business you are involved with.
• Identify how that business values and prioritizes each business logic.
• Identify the specific metrics the business uses to measure its success for at least four of the logics.
• Determine what questions to ask clients to identify the business logic and metrics.
• Link a performance problem to an appropriate business logic, and identify related metrics that are valued by the organization.

TWO-DAY CERTIFICATION WORKSHOP
Tuesday, September 23 & Wednesday, September 24
8:30 am - 5:00 pm

CPT Certification Workshop: Preparing for the CPT
Judith A. Hale, CPT, PhD, Director of Certification, ISPI

Whether you work primarily in instructional design, technical documentation, process improvement, or performance consulting, this workshop will show you how the CPT can help you prove that your work adds value to your clients.

During this workshop you will get an overview of the standards on which the Certified Performance Technology (CPT) is based, the certification process, and how the credential came about. As a result, you will gain a deeper understanding of the standards and the criteria for achieving the CPT. You will engage in exercises where you will apply a reviewer's checklist to sample applications. You will see examples of well-documented applications and reviewers' feedback on some that did not meet the standards. You will also use a self-assessment guide to determine your readiness to apply for the certification.

Participants will be able to:

• Understand the value of the CPT certification to them and their organization.
• Better evaluate their work and the work of others.
• Assess their readiness to apply for the CPT designation.
• Develop a plan for their professional growth.

All applications for the CPT designation are subject to the regular peer evaluation process. The CPT application fee is included in the price of the workshop, which is $1,295 for ISPI members and $1,495 for non-members.
