What is Performance Improvement?
Performance Improvement (PI) is a systematic approach to diagnosing and solving problems related to human performance productivity in the workplace. Performance Improvement is focused on delivering results-oriented outcomes that are measurable, regardless of the type of problem or method of intervention selected.

Many practitioners in the field come from backgrounds related to training and development. Performance Improvement as a professional discipline has discovered that skill improvement is usually NOT the root cause of most performance problems.

Since PI delivers bottom line results across the entire organization, business leaders are implementing these methodologies throughout a company, not just within a training department.

Companies that use Performance Improvement approaches are able to:
  • Improve bottom line profits by identifying and solving productivity problems more rapidly.
  • Reduce employee skill deficits with less time and money devoted to program development and delivery.
  • Identify when training & skill building is NOT the problem and avoid unneeded, costly programs.
  • Integrate performance improvement solutions with other cost savings initiatives to achieve synergistic savings.
