Program Overview
Tom Gilbert, in his groundbreaking book Human Competence, urged those seeking to improve performance to focus on accomplishments, the valuable products of behavior, rather than on behavior – which he pointed out is not valuable on its own. He presented a philosophy of Performance Engineering that his protégé, Joe Harless, made actionable through his accomplishment-based Front-End Analysis (FEA) and Accomplishment Based Curriculum Development (ABCD) methodologies. Following their footsteps and mentored by both, Carl Binder has developed over three decades an accomplishment-based methodology called Performance Thinking®, named by his clients about a decade ago. Integrating 2 simple visual models with 21 plain English words, it has become the underlying “logic” for Certified Performance Thinking® Practitioners, as well as Coaches, in companies, government agencies, and nonprofits, large and small. Extending to the full scope of talent development, from hiring and on-boarding to training and coaching, review, promotion and even succession planning, this approach offers a simpler, more measurable and actionable framework for talent development than traditional skills-based or competency-based methodologies. Carl will provide an introduction to and overview of accomplishment-based talent development, and discuss its implications and applications, following his recent article in TD magazine called The Value in Focusing on Work Outputs https://bit.ly/AccomplishmentBasedTD_Binder2024.
