Meetings

May 15, 2008
Teach-Try-Talk2
Carol Diroff, Ph.D. & Jean Condron
5:30 PM until 8:30 PM

Have you ever attended an event and said to yourself, “I understand that, but I’m not sure if I could apply it”?
In these interactive presentations, two of our leading practitioners will each present a practical application of HPT
and learning principles, provide us an opportunity to apply them, and deepen our understanding through
discussion. That’s right – two presentations for the price of one! Join us and sharpen or refresh your skills!

“Can We Evaluate HPT Solutions?”
Presenter: Carol Diroff, Ph.D.

With all the talk about HPT projects, you may wonder about how evaluation gets done for multiple interventions. During
this discussion, we will investigate how to evaluate all the interventions that come out of a set of solutions and then how we feed that evaluation information back into additional performance improvements.

“Building on the Ford Information Technology Competency Model”
Presenter: Jean Condron

In this case study session, you will learn how Ford Information Technology (IT) is using a competency model. The session will present in detail the Ford IT Competency Model and its components. You will apply what you learn during the session through a practice example.
