Models and Tools for Performance Analysis

ASTD Golden Gate Chapter -Wednesday, September 14 - Monthly Program

http://www.cvent.com/events/models-and-tools-for-performance-analysis/custom-17-f08050bb402c4295a287e81235329a46.aspx

Peter Drucker said, “What gets measured get managed.” This month, we focus on the CPLP competency – Measuring and Evaluating – as part of our CPLP competencies program series.

Join Dr. Roger Chevalier, author of A Manager’s Guide to Improving Workplace Performance, to explore ideas, models, and tools to systematically and systemically analyze and improve workplace performance.

Roger will take you through an analysis process that focuses on what supports or limits transference of learning from the classroom to the workplace. Be prepared to do some analysis on a performance analysis worksheet aided by a performance-consulting guide.

You will learn to:

Systematically interact with your clients using a performance consulting job aid;
Develop questions to assess and diagnose the needs of your clients; and
Identify performance gaps and causes using a performance aid that employs gap analysis, cause analysis, and force field analysis.

This will be an interactive workshop. Bring your sense of curiosity, questions, and willingness to have some fun and experience measurement at work!

Bringing Performance Improvement Techniques to Your Managers and Supervisors

ISPI Webinar - September 27 2011, 12:00 Noon to 4:00 pm EDT (USA)

http://www.ispi.org/content.aspx?id=1536

There is an old Chinese proverb that most of us are familiar with: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." All too many of us have been giving HPT to managers and supervisors when we should be teaching HPT to them.

Every day, managers and supervisors observe the present level of performance of their workgroups and compare it to a desired level of performance such as a work standard or goal. Their next step is to select solutions from what they have done in the past or to work with solutions that their peers have used in similar situations. Managers and supervisors lack a systematic and systemic approach to analyzing performance gaps and their underlying causes before they select their solutions. They also lack the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to improve the day-to-day performance of their direct reports.

Roger Chevalier and Miki Lane will provide you with ideas, models, and tools that can be used by managers and supervisors to improve workplace performance. As a result of this webinar, you will be in a better position to bring performance improvement techniques to your managers and supervisors.

Broadening your Assessment Skills

Canadian Society for Training and Development - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - Friday, November 18, 2011

http://www.cvent.com/events/2011-cstd-conference-and-trade-show/event-summary-eccae4d3219843849bd660b52c50f700.aspx

All trainers need to be concerned about transference of what was learned in the classroom back to the workplace. Stand-alone training may not have the desired impact if it is not supported by the work environment to which the student returns. Instructional designers need to broaden their assessment skills to take into account the work environment so that what is taught is actually applied.

1. Systematically interact with their clients using a performance consulting job aid

2. Develop questions to assess and diagnose the specific needs of your clients

3. Determine performance gaps, and then identify, weight, and display underlying causes using a one-page job aid
