    Introducing new products or services, bringing new people on board, developing a new process or procedure, installing new equipment, change seems to be the one constant in business today and change always seems to drive a need for training.

    In conducting training needs analysis at any level, we need to understand that training may not be the solution, at least not the whole solution. Training is normally employed with the expectation of changing individual performance. While training can, and does change the ability of individuals to perform, on-the-job performance also depends on other factors that form a complex interconnected human performance system. For any system to produce a desired performance output, there are always a number of factors that must be managed.

    Six-factors for human performance

    The following is a six-factor system model for human performance. In principle if you manage all six well, you will get the desired performance. If you ignore any of the six, the desired system performance becomes less likely. Training can indeed be an important part of a system solution, but if other parts are not provided, training may not be effective.

    1. Make expectations clear:

    The expected outputs, and actions to produce results, must be made crystal clear. These include vision, values, mission, roles, goals and objectives, action plans, milestones and standards. If you don’t tell them what is expected, don’t expect results.

    2. Provide necessary resources and conditions:

    No one can produce the expected results if they do not have the process, methods, tools, materials, space, time, money, and people to do the job. A workplace that is badly designed, uncomfortable or unsafe also makes it difficult to perform. Given the means, they can deliver performance. If not...

    A Holistic View of Six Sigma
    "Only the overall review of the entire business as an economic system can give real knowledge" - Peter F. DruckerNo one needs to emphasize the holistic approach the Six Sigma deployment takes on overall business processes. All processes in an organization present at least one opportunity for improvement. Having a limited picture about the limitations of Six Sigma and its applications projects an all together different picture.At the enterprise level, each company must consider the entire application of the
    ctation of changing individual performance.

    Managing Change; Ten Signs of Organisational Decay
    Many once great organisations have disappeared over time. They may have been unable to stem the tide of technical innovation or the entrance of low cost competitors or in the public arena they may have become irrelevant as service providers.Mostly they have sown the seeds of their demise many years before, missing the tell tale signs and hence being powerless to do anything about it. Here are my top ten signs of organisations losing relevance and heading for oblivion.Everybody agrees.l for human performance.

    Bar Codes
    Norman Woodland, a 27-year-old graduate student at Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia developed the first code system that automatically read product information during checkout. Woodland and his friend Silver were awarded a patent for their application titled Classifying Apparatus and Method on October 7, 1952. Many experts are of the view that the Woodland and Silver bar code was the basis of what would soon become a global phenomenon.In the beginning, barcodes were developed to store data in the spa

    They Laughed When I Told Them About This
    My name is Edwenia Blake and I am 34 years old, engaged to an awesome young man and have a beautiful 6month old baby girl, Ava Amelia. However, it occurred to me that the masses of people are experiencing a world separation, or rather, the world divide. For example, in the future, there will no longer be a middle class, that would have once existed on our social stratification. There will be, at best, the rich and the poor, so you will either have money, and live or have no money, and die. Is there a way out? Yes. F

    3. Measure the performance of the system:

    In order to determine if expected results are being achieved we need to measure the performance outputs. It might also be helpful to monitor in-process indicators, which affect system outputs. Using metrics we can identify progress toward targets, verify performance as desired, or identify problems and opportunities for improvement. We all pay attention to what gets measured.

    4. Communicate progress and results:

    Continuous and visual feedback on the performance and results achieved by the team and system allows for quick recognition and correction of problems and implementation of improvements. If individuals do not know how well the system is working it is difficult to achieve the desired results, much less make improvements. Performance knowledge empowers improvement.

    5. Provide appropriate incentives:

    Consequences are important. Positive rewards for good performance, congratulation, recognition and celebration, promote and encourage the behaviors that produced the results. Take care to avoid negative consequences for positive performance, or benefits for negative performance. If it felt good, they’ll want to do it again.

    6. Develop necessary competency:

    Competency is the ability of an individual or team to successfully perform a specific task or activity. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can hire a competency off the street. More often development through training and practice is required. Competencies are built through learning activities, and through experience. A competency requires skills, knowledge, and attitude sufficient to do the job. A competency has observable measurable outputs and behaviors. An individual must have the capacity, both mental and physical to learn and to perform the task or activity. If you’ve got the skills and knowledge you can do the job.

    The next time you ask how to improve performance, take a systems approach and remember to consider how to manage all six human performance factors.
