Social, Learner-Centered, and Culturally Relevant Approaches to 

Digital Workforce Development

These clusters include recent research on online social communities, learner-centered approaches to online learning, and culturally-relevant pedagogy in digital praxis.

As part of the presentation, she will include a “choose your own path” approach in which the audience will guide the content shared considering the topics that are of their interest.

Helping Deciders Decide
THIS MEETING HAS ENDED

Host: Scott Weersing, ISPI HR Director of Programs

Facilitators: ISPI HR Board of Directors

 

Summary:

About this event: Sam Rogers will be presenting. 

Description:

We have all this data and a ton of opinions, but…what do our Clients and Stakeholders actually care about? How can we supply them with enough of what they need to move forward, without overwhelming them with information or asking for a little more trust than they care to grant us? Is it right to assume our interests & motivations overlap with the other people determining the success or failure of our performance improvement? In this session, Sam Rogers will share his approach to assessing desired outcomes and baking in surprise stakeholder delights as a way of getting just enough of what’s needed to decide on anything. Together in this interactive webinar, we’ll surface strategies for practical approaches to helping determine what motivates The Most Important People in our project to make their best choice between testing, launching, continuing, or canceling any given program or performance intervention.

Sam Rogers is a frequent speaker and facilitator at Learning & Development events, and has delivered hundreds of interactive webinars and engaging livestreams for fellow L&D Professionals. Through his company Snap Synapse, he served as a Video eLearning Expert, Performance Consultant, Sr. Instructional Designer, LMS Integrations Specialist, and Learning Strategist for clients such as such as Google, Deloitte, Robert Half International, ADP, and AAA. Now he is the Global Learning Technologies & Analytics Manager for ConvaTec, and happy to be presenting to an ISPI audience for the first time.

THIS MEETING HAS ENDED

Host: Scott Weersing, ISPI HR Director of Programs

Facilitators: ISPI HR Board of Directors

 

Summary:

About this event: Kaycee Buckley will be presenting. 

Description:

Core Diagnostics at Abbott invested heavily in developing and deploying a coaching program for leaders. To determine the impact of the program, Kaycee Buckley and her team gathered data with customized surveys and conducted a complete ROI study. The results provided a “magnifying glass into the program, but unfortunately, the results did not meet expectations.” The ROI results were surprisingly negative. Come hear how Kaycee shared the ROI findings, how she engaged both L&D staff and business leaders, and how decisions that were made based on the results are changing the way the program is deployed and managed today.

Kaycee Buckley has over 20 years of experience in the learning & development industry. She is the Global Commercial Sr Training Manager for Abbott Diagnostics, accountable for identifying competencies through measuring business impact supporting over 2,000 employees to institutionalize organizational initiatives.

WHAT IS HPI?

HPI is Human Performance Improvement.

 

Some people recognize the acronym HPT which is Human Performance Technology.

 

HPT and HPI:

 

  • are systematic approaches to improving productivity and competence

  • use a set of methods and procedures -- and a strategy for solving problems -- for realizing opportunities related to the performance of people.
     

More specific, it is a process of selection, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of programs to most cost-effectively influence human behavior and accomplishment.

 

It is a systematic combination of three fundamental processes: performance analysis, cause analysis, and intervention selection, and can be applied to individuals, small groups, and large organizations.

WHERE KNOWLEDGE BECOMES KNOW-HOW

Hampton Roads Chapter

How Does HPI / HPT Work?

HPI / HPT uses a wide range of interventions that are drawn from many other disciplines including:

  • behavioral psychology

  • instructional systems design

  • organizational development, and

  • human resources management.

It stresses:

  • a rigorous analysis of present and desired levels of performance

  • identifies the causes for the performance gap

  • offers a wide range of interventions to improve performance

  • guides the change management process, and

  • evaluates the results.

Important Definitions


        Human: the individuals and groups that make up organizations
        Performance: activities and measurable outcomes​

        Technology: a systematic and systemic approach to solve practical problems
 

 

10 Standards of HPI / HPT


Human Performance Improvement & Human Performance Technology have been described as the systematic and systemic identification and removal of barriers to individual and organizational performance.

 

HPI / HPT is governed by a set of underlying principles that serve to differentiate it from other disciplines and to guide practitioners in its use.

​1. HPI / HPT focuses on outcomes.

2. HPT takes a systems view.

​3. HPT adds value. 

​4. HPT establishes partnerships.

​5. Be systematic in the assessment of the need or opportunity. 

​6. Be systematic in the analysis of the work and workplace to identify the cause or factors that limit performance. 

​7. Be systematic in the design of the solution or specification of the requirements of the solution. 

​8. Be systematic in the development of all or some of the solution and its elements. 

​9. Be systematic in the implementation of the solution.

​10. Be systematic in the evaluation of the process and the results.

Our meetings are open to all.

Why should you join us?

Picture this... You visit one of your friend's workgroups and notice that the people are sharp--very sharp.  And they seem to be psyched to be doing the work. You spend a few weeks with them and soon learn that they are the right people doing the right things. The work environment seems to have been tailor-made for them: you are amazed at the simplicity of their processes and tools.

You are not surprised when you learn that this unit has been evaluated as the best at what they do.

You ask your friend about it, and she says, "Oh, right.   We adopted a systems approach to human performance a few years ago.  It has made a world of difference.  It is called Human Performance Technology. "

We are about amazing human performance!

Join us as together we explore how we can improve the way our businesses and organizations operate. Each month we meet and discuss  breakthrough approaches to human performance.

We meet at various locations around Hampton Roads. Check out our events schedule for a time and place convenient to you.
