A Focus on Performance and the ISPI Advantage
Workforce performance takes on new significance in our economic future. Human performance technology (HPT) — the systematic approach to improving productivity and competence — is the key to global competitiveness. Although training and education are critical to increasing competitiveness, meeting the educational challenge is only part of the answer. An effective human resource system needs an outstanding learning system, but it requires more; it requires a focus on performance. To improve human performance, we must manage the performance improvement system. That system must be the core of an organization’s human resource efforts if it is to maintain its competitiveness in the long run.
