Focus groups
These provide detail about work environment. Allows participants to build on idea. Verbal and nonverbal feedback. But resource intensive, sometimes dominated/led by a couple members. Requires multiple facilitator and note taker.
Multivoting (nominal group technique)
Tool to elicit root cause: Silent idea generation. Brainstorm wide range of responses to an issue, clarify responses then rank. Yields rank ordered causes or solutions. Good for team Minimizes team dynamic issues (conformity, big voice, generates ideas) Rank orders Requires prep Best used with single, clearly defined problem Minimizes discussion

workforce plan emanates from
strategic plan. formulate. develop. implement. evaluate. then how does talent make that a reality? knowledge and skills gaps vs knowledge/skill requirements?
no job aids
strict time or pressure requirements where quick thinking necessary
synthesis model
structure to communicate a large amount of info about a subject. reflection: thinking about data until pattern/metaphor appears two-axis matrix: horizontal and verticals line up to show data there or missing 3-axis matrix: cube shaped object to express abstract variables (quality, time). Reconnects complex subjects. flowchart events network: what SHOULD be not what is dichotomy: two mutually exclusive groups argumentation: resolves 2 or more theses/positions by having hypothesis and supporting logic. graphic models: org charts, diagrams, maps etc. for visual appeal
A structured organization includes alignment of
structure, systems, processes, people, strategy, work and job design, rewards and culture.

Factors that undermine a learning culture
-Competition for scarce resources -Conflicting and competing goals among departments and groups -Lack of support/silos
Factors that contribute to a learning culture
-Team building -Reaching across departmental boundaries -Conflict resolution -Leaders model organizational values and integrity -Promotion of learning culture through informal means
to build v. buy talent
-how hard to fill position? -internal selection sstrategically important? -internal candidates? -steep learning curve? -require continuity? or institutional knowledge? -do internal learning opportunities exist? -is change desirable? -would outside perspective be helpful (signal/impact) -would it negatively impact internal capacity? -are we growing rapidly -culd and outside person bring capital and/or networks and or insight?
6 Steps of Effective Recruiting
1 Identify right strategy (build, buy, borrow, bind/retain) key talent 2. Create compelling employment value prop (training can be part of that) 3. Capture employment value prop in a memborable emplyoment brand 4. Translate emplyment brand into talent brand (ie caliber of talent working for you 5. Determine most productivie channels for talent 6. Measure success
Issues with career planning
1) Balancing ROI and human capital 2) generational differnces and how they work 3) cultural differences
Tools for Problem Evaluation
1) Force Field Analysis: Identify issues that may provide barrier to training or performance. Uncover root causes unrelated to training. 2) Cause-Effect Analysis: C-E diagram . Ishikawa. Fishbone diagram. Identify problems with evaluation process or training event. 3) Hypothesis Testing: ideally test a null hypothesis (there won't be a difference between treatment and control groups.)
3 reasons to make evaluation a priority
1) comm necessary to make improvements. timely delivery of info to make timely adjustments 2) comm about results is sensitive. may distress some and gratify others. messages from low people and senior people command different levesl of impact/respect. 3) different audiences/different info:
2 approaches to workforce planning
1) gap analyis and root cause. Solution. Cost to build or buy that talent. Get buy in. Implement solution. 2) work force planning for talent shortage. Proactive 5 steps: -business drivers -current and anticipated labor markets -model future workforce scenarios -reach clarity on expected gaps -develop comprehensive & measurable strategy
You should measure ROI in 6 types of situations
1) long lifecycle 2) important to meeting operational goals 3) closely linked to strategic goals 4) highly visible and sometimes controversial 5) expensive to implement 6) large target audience 7) have executive level interest/focus
Steps for Achieving Desired State of Change
1. Define achievable outcomes (time bound and quanitfiable) 2. Infrastructre and support for change through clear roles [leader/sponsor and change agent/facilitator]. Consider team members: leadership & influence, SBU representation, Skills, Knowledge & Attitude 3. Plan for hcange (goals, success factors, impl steps, commitment)
8 Steps for Outsourcing
1. Determine Needs (cost, metrics, market trends, goals/objectives, benefits and risks, required compettencies) 2. Determine Scope & budget (criteria, potential suppliers, 3. Create & Send RFP (suppliers send) 4. Eval proposal & select supplier (eval criteria and weights) 5. Notify supplier & negotiate 6. Implement 7. Monitor the schedule 8. Complete & evaluate
Jadvan's globla mindset components
1. Global intellectual capital is the capacity to consider differing viewpoints to understand and address complex issues 2. Global social capital includes behavioral skills, which lets person build trust with those who are different 3. Global psychological capital includes affective qualities (willingness, compassion, confidence) needed to manage this level of complexity
Holt & SEki's 10 paradoxes of global leaders (2012)

Listen to other's view points and express one's own opinion. 5. Appreciate global and local influences on business 6. Respect common group cultures and individual differences 7. Be open minded to the ideas of others and decisive when required 8. Be consistent in message and versatile in changing environments 9. Be humble and confident 10. Doing (being active) and being (practicing mindfuless) Practice BOTH/AND instead of EITHER/OR for these
5 steps of project
1. Initiating (goal, expectations for customers mgmt and stakeholders, scope, team members) 2. PLanning (refines scope, balances time, results and resources, lists tasks and activities, sequences, develops schedule & budget, gets plan approved) 3. Executing (leads team, meets with members, communicates with stakeholder, secure resources) 4. Controlling (watches over projects, course corrects, adapts resources, changes/reduces scope) 5. Closing (acknowledges achievement, disbands team, learns from experience, reviews process, writes report)

1. cognitive constraints (differeing world views) 2. behavioral constraints (verbal and nonverbal) 3. emotional constraints (beliefs about emotional displays)
Communicate evaluation results well through
1. focus on training process not people/dept 2. give credit to participants and supervisors 3. fully address evaluation methodology 4. clarify data sources and their crediblity 5. state assumptions and why 6. only make data-supported claims
Four data collection problmes
1. no evalatuion: collected, never used beyond person who cacluated 2. not provided to appropriate groups or in proper format for the audience 3. not used to drive improvement. porcess improvement opportunities found aren't acted upon 4. data used for wrong reasons: to take action agaist a group/person, or withold funds/action, or gain power/advantage.

Brogden Utility Analysis
How effective the program was at identifying and modifying behavior and therefore future service of employees. It JUST places a value on skills not their impact in the workplace. DeltaU = N x T x dt x SDy - C Total change equals employees trained by duration (years) in performance effect by true difference in job performance between average trained v. untrained in standard deviation by standard deviation of group in dollars minus cost to train employees
"coaching"
In an "official" coaching relationship, defined by the International Coach Federation, coaching is "a professional partnership between a qualified coach and an individual or team that supports the achievement of extraordinary results, based on goals set by the individual or team. Through the process of coaching, individuals focus on the skills and actions needed to successfully produce their personally relevant results, "but it is not counseling, mentoring, training, or giving advice. Coaching may also be used on-the-job where a more experienced person, often a supervisor, provides constructive advice and feedback to develop or improve the performance of an employee.

learners construct knowledge from assimilation and accommodation. culture playing a huge role. assimilation happens when you incorporate something new into your existing frame (either bc it aligns or bc you have a fualty understanding and think it does) accommodation happens when something contradicts your frame of reference , so you change your interpretation to fit your construct. Process by which failure leads to learning. ***
Peter Senge
learning organizations are places where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together (systems thinking, mental models, personal mastery, shared vision, dialogue on learning capacities)
learning modalities
learning preferences for knowledge acquisition (environment, psychological comfort, social style and profile)

insufficient sample size
not illustrative enough
hard tech capabilities
number & type of computers, tablets, mobile devices
nominal data

bias
prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. [typically people believe their own views are good/bad, right/wrong/, just/unfair]. if bias colors assupmtion, and something falls out of assumption it's presumed to be an execption rather than their own view point is incorrect.
beyond filters and biases, communications issues from listener include
preoccupation with something else distracted by postive/negative trigger words feel defensive and prepping rebuttal before entire message comes out distracted by speaker's clothes, hair, words feel superior/disrespectful to speaker be impatient or interrput bc has a pressing issues, believes this is a waste of time or suspects message will be unpleasant lacks vocab or nonverbal to understand has impaired hearing phyiscal location discomfort or distance from speaker

(in an org that's actions, attitudes) cause/effect are never simple aperiodic: never reapeat in the same way change comes from chaos: systems resist change as long as they can, but change builds pressure on system. ultimately system either it reinvents itself or disintegrates based on disruptive force future cannot be predicted
TD professionals and data
summarize where possible decide what the data mean relate data to data where possible determine relationships if they come from multiple sources identify examples that will enhance the story
Benefit-Cost Ratio
summarizes overall monetary impact of a solution/proposal BCR = totalbenefits/totalcosts (if BCR is below 1.00 (e.g., .85) then it's not getting to 1:1 ratio [BCR calucalted after implementation] 'For every dollar invested, it yielded...' If it's 1 BCR, it's 0% ROI. If 2 BCR it's 100% ROI because for every dollar you put in you get 2 back. 98% ROI is still a gain. You get 1.98 on each dollar. ROI = Benefits-Costs/Program Costs x 100 (to yield a percentage) [ROI may be forecasted in advance of results] For every dollar you invest, you will likely get...'
