We're kicking the New Year Off Right!

The ISPI Front Range Chapter February Workshop with Judy Hale has expanded from a half-day program to a full-day! And we're keeping it at the same price!

Thursday, February 18, 2010    9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Join Judy Hale, Ph.D., for Implementation: Sustaining Initiatives, a look at how to go beyond the launch and roll out of an initiative, and increase the odds that your work makes a difference.

Learning and performance improvement initiatives depend on others adopting new behaviors, technology, standards, values, and more for the expected results to materialize. Therefore, this workshop goes beyond the launch and roll out of an initiative. It is about how to increase the odds new behaviors, technology, standards, values, and more produce the desired results because they are fully adopted by the organization. Organizations invest millions of dollars on initiatives intended to improve productivity; unfortunately, after the initial launch there is little evidence of change and the promise of improvement is not fulfilled.
