An
HPT Institute presented by
ISPI ...
A three-day Institute committed to providing training, performance, and human resource development professionals the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to make a successful transition to a human performance improvement organization.
Training professionals are the first to acknowledge that training is seldom the sole solution to a
business problem. In recent years, the business has learned the value of expanding its traditional
training focus to applying a broader strategy that uses Human Performance Technology
(HPT) --
a process of selection, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of
programs to most cost-effectively influence human behavior and accomplishment -- to improve
workplace performance.
But what does a performance improvement department look like in action? How can a traditional training department make the transition to a performance improvement function? What skills are needed? What are the risks and the benefit of making this transition?
The Institute will provide participants with a forum for participants to problem-solve with a faculty of performance technology experts and other professional colleagues. You will develop your own strategic transition plan to take your organization from training to human performance improvement. You will apply performance technology models and methods to optimize the human capital investment your organization has made.
The Only Institute of its Kind!
- Develop a strategic plan to move your training department toward a human performance improvement organization.
