    Performance Improvement as Design Engineering with Carl Binder



    Dr. Carl Binder

    Systemic Design not Merely Problem-solving

    We seek to optimize performance. That seldom happens when we adjust one or two aspects of an existing performance system. As Tosti encouraged us to do, we look at the overall system supporting performance and configure behavior influences for optimal return on investment.

    Tools for Performance Engineering
    Performance Thinking® models, logic, and tools offer a unique combination of simplicity, plain English, and flexibility so that everyone in an organization can participate in continuous improvement with a design engineering approach

      Session Description

      In this webinar we discuss the difference between a problem-solving or repair approach to performance improvement, and a systemic design engineering approach, with implications for potential impact and the likelihood of innovation.

      About the Speaker

      Dr. Carl Binder is CEO of The Performance Thinking Network.  He studied behavior science at Harvard with B.F. Skinner in the 1970s, and conducted both laboratory and applied research before joining ISPI and embracing accomplishment-based performance improvement in the early 1980s.  Carl has published several dozen chapters and articles, and received career achievement awards from the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Performance Improvement, the Organizational Behavior Management Network, and the Standard Celeration Society. He leads a global network of colleagues who apply Performance Thinking® models, tools, and programs to a broad range of organizational performance improvement applications. His company certifies Performance Consultants, enables HR Business Partners to be agents of performance improvement, develops leaders, managers, and coaches, and delivers programs for different types of users, while certifying Affiliates and client organizations to deliver those programs. Carl lives on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, and can be reached by email at CarlBinder@sixboxes.com. You can learn more at www.PerformanceThinking.com, at his company’s YouTube channel www.PerformanceThinking.tv, his nonprofit web site at www.Fluency.org, or at the Performance Thinking Network’s LinkedIn group.

      Building a Competitive Advantage with Learning:  A New Opportunity


      Will Thalheimer

      CEOs are worried about whether organizations can survive.  They see employee talent and skills as critical to organizational success.  As learning professionals we should be a key leverage point, yet we are not as empowered as we need to be.  We often feel frustrated, pushed into the role of order taker, marginalized as course creators - when we know we can do so much more.

        Session Description

        In this session, renowned L&D consultant Will Thalheimer will share a roadmap to our empowerment, based on his new book, The CEO's Guide to Training, eLearning & Work:  Empowering Learning for a Competitive Advantage.  Thalheimer offers a powerful vision, advocating that we move beyond impact and aim higher - helping to create a competitive advantage for our organizations and our learners.  This session outlines the future of L&D.  It is not to be missed!

        About the Speaker

        For over 30 years, Will Thalheimer has worked in the work-learning field, playing many of the most common roles in the industry - including trainer, instructional designer, project manager, elearning developer, video / audio editor, speaker, author, product-line manager, consultant, learning evaluator, research translator, and business owner.

        Widely respected for his research-inspired innovations, models, publications, videos, workshops, and presentations; Thalheimer has focused for the last two decades on bringing practical research recommendations to the industry.  As an industry luminary, Thalheimer draws on a vast network of professionals and thought leaders, and his widely diverse client list bring him insights across a range of global organizations, from large to small, for profit, nonprofit, and educational institutions.

        Will blends tough-minded criticism, fairness, humor, and aspiration into messaging that drives things forward.  With his forthcoming book, he is making his most definitive set of recommendations on how organizations can leverage learning.
