Proactive Workforce Development

Just as these elite basketball teams forecast upcoming player needs and actively recruit to back fill the gaps on their teams, organizations need to apply that same thinking to their workforce development efforts. By proactively identifying team strengths and weaknesses, skills gaps and the most appropriate talent and

training programs to fill anticipated needs, they can ensure an agile, high performance workforce. For more on this, see our related post: Exploring vs. Exploiting: Creating a Performance Revolution.

Performance Analytics

Understanding how best to parse and use performance data allows organizations to better measure the outcomes of training programs, create business centric learning strategies, and ensure overall workforce

performance. Analyzing available data can expose the strengths and weaknesses of a team or organization based on the numbers behind the performance. In the NCAA Finals, this is akin to analyzing a player’s statistics

to determine the value he brings to the team. By breaking down points, rebounds and assists per game it is easy to show a player’s overall contribution. The same can be true for workforce performance data and

assessments. Learn more about this important category here: Drive Superior Learning Outcomes: Steer With Performance Data Analytics.

Optimized Training Solutions

When it comes to training solutions and game-day preparation, a one-size-fits-all approach is very seldom successful. On the basketball court, and in identifying appropriate training solutions, a customized game plan

needs to be crafted to address shortcomings and capitalize on team assets. On and off the court, training programs that are specifically tailored to needs are much more likely to result in positive outcomes. At

Raytheon Professional Services (RPS) we offer a wide range of custom training solutions that are optimized to meet the specific training needs of our customers and ensure a successful end result. Whether they are looking

to increase efficiency, reduce cost, ensure compliance, increase safety, or build a more comprehensive and transformational approach to learning – we help them find the right mix for their needs.

High Consequence Training

It is imperative that organizations (and teams) prepare for those circumstances that can have the greatest impact on outcomes. Some of the scenarios are known, or expected, and some are not. This is why teams

devote large amounts of time to practicing for any circumstance that may arise. They have coordinated plays in place and put their best-suited players on the court for each tip off. They are prepared to go up against teams they’ve faced before, and those that they haven’t. No matter whether it’s a star player out with a

season-ending injury, disruptive weather conditions, or a potentially damaging security breach, high consequence training can help teams manage or eliminate risk. Implementing effective operating procedures is essential for successfully handling disruptions – especially when the stakes are high. Read more on the topic

A Winning Training Strategy

While certain aspects of your team making it to the final NCAA playoff game may be out of your control, the power to create a winning training strategy is definitely in your hands. Being proactive about your workforce

development efforts, ensuring you take advantage of performance analytics, and optimizing training programs will help meet your organization’s specific training needs. This will also create a team that is

prepared for anything, including situations that may require High Consequence Training.
