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.
