Performance Consulting Program
Performance Consulting Program Overview
Are you charged with improving performance and results in your business units? If you have been asked to address issues that may not be solved by learning initiatives alone, this program is essential for you. Examine the difference between learning and performance consulting roles and gain a blueprint for conducting performance consulting interventions.
You will practice the concepts and skills through an engaging case study that simulates a performance consulting intervention from beginning to end.
