Great Turn-out, Valuable Insights at ATD Job-Aids?Workshop

Great Turn-out, Valuable Insights at ATD Job-Aids?Workshop

SANTA ROSA, CA –

We had a fantastic turnout last night at the Golden Gate (North Bay) ATD meeting. 

Peregrine Performance Group facilitated the meeting. Our focus was How to Recognize and Create Damn Good Job Aids.

We discussed the characteristics of the “damn good” job aid, some differences between “good” and “bad” (i.e., exemplary and sub-par) job aids, how job aids and other performance support tools fit into larger performance improvement initiatives, and the process Peregrine uses to create exemplary job aids for our clients.

Other Highlights

Participants shared job-aids they had gathered over the past few weeks. And in small groups they practiced some of the concepts and principles taught the workshop by applying them toward re-designing, creating and testing poorly designed job aids.

We were honored to have Roger Chevalier join us. Last week, Roger received one of the highest honors ATD’s sister-organization, ISPI, offers — “Honorary Life Member.” Dr. Chevalier is an author and veteran performance consultant who specializes in integrating training into more comprehensive performance improvement solutions.

Also joining us was Saul Eisen. Saul is well-known in the Bay Area for his work in organizational development (OD). He’s also one of the founders of the MA Program in OD at Sonoma State University. Dr. Eisen runs a consulting practice that integrates strategic planning, whole system redesign, and organization development.

Initial Feedback

We were delighted to hear post-program comments from participants such as, “You guys rock!,” “I want some of these for MY clients!,” and “This was the most useful session I’ve attended in a long time!” 

Bring this Program to Your Organization

We’re eager to take this program to other organizations and professional societies. If you’re interested, let's talk. Contact Peregrine today.
