This session will be an interactive, facilitator-led opportunity to experience the trials and tribulations of getting buy-in and support for conducting a Human Performance Improvement (HPI) or performance analysis project, which will lead into the discovery and application of 10 easy steps to overcome these challenges and enable successful HPI projects (and performance analysis) to be successfully conducted in any organization. With the increased attention on HPI comes the greatest challenge of any HPI practitioner: convincing the current management to let internal (or external) performance professionals' use this HPI approach in their organizations. Sometimes managers believe they are already taking this HPI approach; or, they have a host of reasons for not taking this approach. In any case, the HPI process is hindered or stopped altogether. This session will enable you to share your own challenges and experiences in getting traction in using HPI approaches in your workplace. The speaker will share his experiences and successes in overcoming these challenges, giving you tips and recommendations for the specific barriers to conducting HPI work in your organization. The speaker will reveal 10 practical, powerful, and validated techniques for getting the traction and support you need to successfully accomplish your next HPI project. Any questions and concerns will also be addressed throughout the session.
