Catching Up to the Technology

The Pursuing Performance Blog By Guy W. Wallace, CPT

Blogging I started my adventures in the Blogosphere in the spring of 2003. I posted two Posts and then let it lie dormant for several years, until this spring when I decided to update many of my past writings and presentations and post them to the Blog. So the whole Blog underwent a facelift...dump the old Postings, change of colors, fonts and the entire layout. All the Blogspot tools had become much more friendly and there are a dozen or so Widgets (Web tools) of practical use, from the hundreds and hundreds out there, that I borrowed for this update. Then, as you see shortly, I went wild with my updating task. Here is a listing (of truncated titles) of all of the Postings on the Blog. You can also easily search the Blog using key words. See the Seach box at the top right of the Blog.

Learning is not the end goal. Specific "Performance Competence" is. Generic Competencies are only foundational if they can transfer to another performance context. Research suggests that they usually will not. Formal Performance-based Instruction & Information is needed, where warranted by the risks and rewards, to enable the workflow, either during and/or prior to the workflow performance. For Performance Competence. And ROI.

What early reviewers wrote about:

lean-ISD By Guy W. Wallace

Recipient of

ISPI’s 2002 Award of Excellence

for Instructional

Communication

Geary A. Rummler from the Performance Design Lab says, “If you want to ground your fantasy of a ‘corporate university’ with the reality of a sound ‘engineering’ approach to instructional systems that will provide results, you should learn about the PACT Processes. If you are the leader of, or a serious participant in, the design and implementation of a large-scale corporate curricu-lum, then this book is for you. This system could be the difference between achieving bottom-line results with your training or be-ing just another ‘little red school house.’ ” Dale Brethower, Ph.D. from Western Michigan University says, “This book is not an easy read, it is something much better. It is a book written for people who share Guy Wallace’s passion for developing training that adds value, for people who are so committed to competence for themselves and the people they serve that they are willing to do what it takes to develop training that adds value. The best way to use the book is as a guide in doing projects . . . it describes the why and the what and offers many wise and useful suggestions about how.” Jim Russell, Professor of Instructional Design at Purdue University says, “This highly structured and detailed process for instructional design provides excellent guidelines for advanced students and practitioners. The focus is on improving training and development processes and products in business and industry.” John Swinney, from Bandag, Inc. and president of ISPI says, “Guy Wallace is giving away the magic. This book provides a model and methodology to help a training function link its long-term outputs to the busi-ness needs of the organization. The PACT Processes help introduce the voice of the customer into any train-ing organization whose mission is to improve performance.” Miki Lane, senior partner at MVM The Communications Group says, “lean-ISD takes all of the theory, books, courses, and pseudo job aids that are currently on the market about Instructional Systems Design and blows them out of the water. Previous ‘systems’ approach books showed a lot of big boxes and diagrams, which were supposed to help the reader become proficient in the design process. Here is a book that ac-tually includes all of the information that fell through the cracks of other ISD training materials and shows you the way to actually get from one step to another. Guy adds all of the caveats and tips he has learned in more than 20 years of ISD practice and sprinkles them as job aids and stories throughout the book. How-ever, the most critical part of the book for me was that Guy included the project and people manage-ment elements of ISD in the book. Too often, ISD models and materials forget that we are working with real people in getting the work done. This book helps explain and illustrate best practices in ensuring success in ISD projects.”

“Guy Wallace has written an appropriate follow-up to his lean-ISD [book]. The breadth and depth of his latest book, T&D Systems View, is very impressive. He uses the analogy of a clockface to thoroughly explain his 12-system process. The procedure in the book allows you to assess any training and development operation from a systems’ perspective. It is easy to read and follow thanks to its consistent structure and format from chapter to chapter. An excellent overview of the process is included, along with helpful checklists.”

—James D. Russell, Professor of Educational Technology, Purdue University, Visiting Professor of Instructional Systems, Florida State University “[T&D] Systems View explains why the T&D function must be managed as a total system: to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing marketplace. The book shows, in detail, what must be managed competently for a T&D manager to ensure that learn-ing happens by design rather than by chance. The best T&D managers manage the system components described in the book, though probably not as well as they will after studying and thinking through how to fill in the weak or missing components.”

—Dale Brethower, Ph.D., Professor, Western Michigan University “T&D Systems View is a useful guide for any organization assessing current T&D processes or establishing new ones. Its emphasis on T&D delivering ROI and shareholder value is a timely message and one critical to any T&D organization’s viability today.”

—Carol Nicks, Director, Workforce Development, Verizon “Whether you are new in the training business or an ‘old hand,’ this book will provide you with as much guidance as you need to get the job done. Guy has provided material that leaves ‘no stone unturned,’ yet there is sufficient flexibility for application in all

training organizations. Well thought out. Many fresh ideas along with solid reminders of things we knew we should do, but we have, somehow, let go by the wayside.” —Charline A. Wells, Programs Manager – Corporate

Training, Sandia National Laboratories “Guy Wallace has done it again! After demystifying the ISD process in his lean-ISDSM book, he tackles the corporate training and development system and puts it in a business-focused perspective. Whether you are in-house or serving as an external consult-ant, you will find Guy’s model an invaluable tool for enterprise training and development. This analytic and design process en-sures that you dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s when moving your company or client to Learning by Design, not Learning by Chance. The elegant clockface model helps you develop a clear picture of any organization and clearly helps you map out how best to effectively manage all the elements of the enterprise. Once the elements are mapped out, the model, through en-closed assessment and prioritizing tools, helps determine where and when to put corporate assets to maximize corporate return on investment. This is a must-have book for any consultant or organization that is concerned about improving the performance of their organization through improving processes and competencies.”

—Miki Lane, Senior Partner, MVM Communications

Mark Graham Brown Large government and corporate organizations continue to spend money on canned or custom-developed leadership programs that fail to produce effective managers. This book presents a proven methodology for determining the specific management competencies needed for success in your own organization. By using this approach, based on studies of your most effective managers, you will build the foundation of a program that will allow you to select and train a large cadre of effective managers and leaders. John Coné One of the great strengths of the book is that it is NOT about competencies. You make an outstanding point that there is more to the job than just possessing (or even exhibiting) competencies. I really liked the book. Now, I have to be honest with you - it surprised me that I did. I have never been a fan of "workbook" type books that require me to do a lot of introspection and homework. Maybe that's because I'm lazy, or maybe because they require me to accept the models in the book as I go along rather than deciding after I have read it all how well they will apply to my world. Whatever the case, when I saw how your book was organized, I figured I wouldn't like the format and then I'd have to figure out how to tell you that. But it didn't happen that way. I think it is because of the way the book is organized, and perhaps also because you keep things relatively simple. You don't ask me to buy into a complicated and unusual model; but one that is pretty straightforward and logical. I also think that using the technique of directing people to the chapters that apply to them the most (as you do in Chapters 4 and 18, for example) prevents us from having to slog through work that we are not sure goes to the heart of our concerns. That is a brilliant move, and I wish more authors used the approach. Thanks for the chapter summaries. They keep the reader on track and tell us what you as the author think are the key points of each chapter. The intros also do a great job of keeping us oriented. The book reads easily and is very clear and concise. Judy Hale I do like the way you have grouped the areas of performance. You have developed a useful tool and process to help identify, define, and evaluate managerial competencies. Darlene Van Tiem Tremendous performance management tool! Competence is key to inspiring, challenging, and coaching employees. Every leader should require Management Areas of Performance as part of a performance assessment empowering their managers to develop competencies, thus improving competitiveness and organizational effectiveness. Comprehensive, well organized, and motivational. Actually, I think that it is a terrific succession planning, career development, and employee development piece. You have presented, in detail fashion, the full set of compe-tencies. You have not glossed over issues and made it a simple book.

From Chapter 1: A performance-based qualifi-cation/certification system verifies and docu-ments that a person is Performance Compe-tent, that they are capable of “performing tasks to produce outputs to stakeholder re-quirements.” This is done by having the candidate either perform the task while being observed and questioned by a qualified assessor and/or assessing the quality of the end product and perhaps interviewing stakeholders and/or others involved in the performance. The assessor uses a “test” form that contains standards for the procedures that must be followed and the criteria for correct performance. The completed test form becomes the documented record of qualification for the task. The battery of “tests” covers all the critical tasks the individual must be able to perform in a specific role such as Control Room Operator, Sales Representative, or Six Sigma Black Belt practitioner. When an individual has qualified on all the tasks for an assigned role, they can be said to be “fully qualified” or “certified” for that role.

Squaring ISD away won't happen just because you've embraced a great ISD methodology-set, or that you've successfully segued to Performance from Instruction. It will be because you've got enough of a loose-tight handle on all of the moving parts. As in all of the "processes" required to run ISD like a business. The book T&D Systems View now has a companion piece - my client workshop, which I have decided to make available to the ISD public for free.

The T&D Systems View Performance Improvement Assessment Workshop is intended to systematically examine the T&D/ Learning/ Knowledge Management organization systemically - by assessing the ade-quacy of 47 processes organized into 12 systems of the T&D systems - which of course if part of the Enterprise system - inside a marketplace system or systems - in our global world - in-side the big system of the known and unknown Universe. 5 Days? I developed this 5-day version for a delivery in Russia last year that didn't happen. You might be able to get through it in 2 or 3 days. I was expecting there to be "language" issues during delivery and was trying to keep the pace slower than my normal top-end speed. The 10 am start time and 6 pm ending time reflects my potential client's needs and desires. Adapt - don't adopt - unless THAT does makes sense. The workshop PowerPoint Show has 373 slides, and many building graphics/text that will give you carpel tunnel after clicking through the entire PPS. So be careful! And it is an 80 MB file - that is available on my web site at http://www.eppic.biz/. You can get a free PowerPoint Viewer from MicroSoft to view the PowerPoint Show if you don't have PowerPoint. But first, at www.eppic.biz click on the Free Book link for the T&D Systems View book and that will take you to the page where you can download that file of the workshop slides - as well the book! You can break the WS into many different segments/configurations for your delivery situation and constraints: Five 1 day sessions (or three 1 day sessions at a faster pace than Guy in Russia), etc. Or take your ISD staff through the first part up to the Quick As-sessment and then use the Assessment Tool in Chapter 5 of the book. And then stop.

Whatever fits your needs and constraints. And good luck with it!
