Performance Improvement SIG: Training Ain't Performance
with Therese Longo and Michele Miner
Event Details:
When there is a performance problem, most companies jump to training, assuming that the problem lies with the performer either not knowing or refusing to do the job properly. However, training is rarely the answer by itself. That’s why Performance Improvement is so important. Performance Improvement involves achieving improved performance by:
- Linking the goals of performance to business results.
- Identifying the actual causes of a performance problem so they can be corrected or mitigated.
Join the Performance Improvement SIG as we explore how Performance Improvement can raise the training game by reading the book Training Ain’t Performance by Harold D. Stolovitch and Erica J. Keeps. The book explores the confusion that exists in workplaces today around what outstanding achievement looks like, how training relates to on-the-job performance, and how they all connect to business results.
What we will cover:
In the next session, we’ll finish discuss Chapter 5.
