Closing the Performance Gap
Assessing performance needs can range from a designer taking a few hours to clarify what learners should be able to do after a learning experience, to an experienced performance and learning professional taking weeks to conduct a needs assessment of a complex performance issue that involves many work processes, functions, and roles.
In this workshop we will conduct a case-based performance needs assessment, identify the causes of performance gaps, and identify the outcomes that support closing the performance gap. We'll also cover key evaluation topics such as; the purpose of evaluating learning, using key performance indicators to evaluate learning, carrying out level 3 and level 4 evaluations.
