A Practical Guidebook

Amazon KindleRecommendation
Training professionals are shifting their focus from teaching to improving the performance of individuals and organizations. Dana Gaines Robinson and James C. Robinson have compiled a series of articles by members of the Association for Training and Development that approach this trend from varying angles. The common theme is identified at the start: Trainers are becoming performance consultants, working with companies to improve business performance, learning and work environments. After presenting this foundation, the book traces it through organizational partnering, performance change, large and small departmental organization, and employee alignment. The Robinsons serve up a feast of charts, examples, lists, chapter highlights and profiles of each author. This is written for the instructional designer, organizational development consultant, training manager, performance consultant and other specialists. Thus, non-trainers may find it jargon-laden and inaccessible. The multiple authors generate some overlap, and the book is aging, but otherwise this exploration of how to improve performance will appeal to everyone in the field.
