Description:
Join Roger as he reviews the basic principles of performance improvement through the viewpoint of the Performance Landscape. Roger will focus on how we think, how we work, and what we do, particularly in these unprecedented times. The worldwide pandemic has necessitated businesses of all sizes and industries to rapidly move to a predominantly virtual workforce. HPT practitioners are facing the need to develop new strategies for managing and evaluating performance in a virtual world.
Expect to take some performance improvement side trips as we explore the current state of performance improvement.
