The Six Boxes - Application Workshops

The Six Boxes^TM Performance Consulting Workshop

Performance Consulting, Human Performance Technology (HPT), and Human Performance Improvement (HPI) are all the rage in training and development organizations these days, as well as among outside consultants. As with many emerging trends in the marketplace, there’s lots of hype as well as some underlying substance.

While we can’t promise to teach an entire Performance Consulting methodology in one or two days, we can provide tools, models, guidelines, and some fundamentals to help you move from more traditional training and development methods to the performance-based approach embodied in HPT and HPI.

This is a particularly helpful workshop for teams or departments in organizations who want to begin a shift “out of the training box” to engage in a broader dialog with client-stakeholders within their organization, and to have greater impact on business results.

The Six Boxes Performance Consulting Workshop shows participants how to:

Shift from an approach to training and development built around skills and knowledge to one focused on the valuable accomplishments or job outputs that performers must produce to achieve organizational results.
Use The Six Boxes in various types of performance analysis, including front end needs analysis, new performance planning and best practices studies.
Adapt fact-finding, data summary, and design tools to your needs.
Apply The Six Boxes to various levels of detail or “vantage points” in the organization, from individual contributors and small groups, to departments and cross-functional processes.
Develop training and non-training programs and interventions using The Six Boxes as a foundation for systems thinking.
Find additional resources to develop your Performance Consulting skills and knowledge.

Second-day Jump Start Work Session: The Six Boxes Performance Consulting Workshop provides an overview and a framework for HPT/HPI. If you want to begin or continue the transition from traditional training and development to performance consulting, we highly recommend adding a Jump Start Work Session following the Application Workshop so we can work together to apply Six Boxes thinking and tools to your precise organizational needs and opportunities.
