Join us this month as we focus in on Performance Improvement with our special guest, Jon Foley.

Session Details

Would you like a reputation as a performance problem solver?

Many (if not most) executives turn to training as the first (sometimes the only) solution to resolve organizational performance problems. However, training rarely meets the expectations of its sponsors!

In this session, Jon Foley will provide you with and explain how to use tools to turn training requests into performance improvement projects. Jon learned these tools personally from Dr. Thomas Gilbert, known as the Father of Human Performance Technology and the author of Human Competence: Engineering Worthy Performance.

These tools include:

  • Four Questions to ask at the very beginning of a training request
  • How to Calculate the PIP (Potential to Improve Performance) of a Performance Improvement Opportunity
  • PROBE Worksheet (interview questions to help you identify performance improvement opportunities within an organization)
  • The Behavior Engineering Model (known as the BEM - to help you organize your findings and prioritize opportunities to improve performance)
  • An example of a Report Summary showing both positive findings and areas of opportunity based on the BEM
