Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The very first edition of 'Performance Consulting' introduced a concept which has since become a cornerstone of the human resource, learning and organizational development fields: training and HR solutions must be tied to an organization's business goals. Performance consulting is a process in which a client and consultant partner to achieve business goals by optimizing workgroup performance.
In this updated edition, Dana and Jim Robinson provide both a robust conceptual framework and improved tools and techniques to help the reader move from the traditional role to that of a Performance Consultant. They show readers how to work with management to identify the performance required to achieve business goals and assist management in taking actions needed for performance to change. This revised and updated edition features dozens of new tools, techniques and illustrative exercises, and two completely new chapters.

To meet increasingly demanding organizational goals, human resource departments must shift from traditional training methods (i.e. what employees learn) to performance consulting (i.e. what employees must do to achieve those goals). Authors Dana Gaines Robinson and James C. Robinson, who consult in this field, present this intriguing assertion in a rather abstract and wordy book. Thus, this is a better volume for serious study than for casual perusal.
The book gives you in-depth research and information on the complicated process of transforming your training operation to performance consulting. The book contains numerous graphs, guides and checklists, as well as a helpful resource section listing Human Resources associations and workshops. We [...] recommend this book to those involved in human resources, particularly training specialists, training coordinators, instructional systems designers, consultants, and career and organizational developers, as well as managers and media specialists.
