Description: This workshop introduces a comprehensive approach for analyzing and managing the performance of a school, agency, or program as a system. Understanding and appreciating an organization's systemic nature is the key to managing its operations and achieving its organizational goals. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to several tools enlisted from human performance technology (HPT) to help them assess and understand the host of contextual variables operating inside and outside of their organization that might influence the accomplishment of mission related objectives. These tools drive the analysis and design of performance systems that can be maintained by employees within your organization. Well-suited for executive directors, program directors, and staff supervisors, this presentation will show how Optimal's approach to organizational management can be adopted by ABA service provider agencies to improve organization level performance.
