The Evolving Strategies and Outlooks of Human and Organizational Performance
Riz Shah, of the Department of Energy, present this afternoon: The Evolving Strategies and Outlooks of Human and Organizational Performance.
Human and Organizational Performance methodology builds a learning organization. Challenging assumptions in the regulatory landscape takes vigor and gumption. Compliance alone is not conducive to continuous improvement. Approaching outcomes with a performance and reliability lens builds a culture where organizational excellence, optimized performance, and reliable operations are encouraged, supported, and implemented by every individual at every level.
Changing Outcomes: Bias and Priming
Following Sharon Small’s presentation on Clean Language, Mike and James discuss related research science in Changing Outcomes: Bias and Priming
Clean Language: A New Approach to Increasing Clarity and Understanding
We tend to think about other people's influence on us. How their behaviors, actions, words affect our lives. In doing this we often fail to pay attention to the level of influence we have on others.
There are many ways influence happens. It can be as complex as the interplay of cultural and social norms or as simple as changing one or two words.
Recently there has been a lot of attention on ’nudging’. Nudging is a nice way of saying to coax or gently encourage (someone) to do, think, say, or agree to something.
As a Human Performance professional, the information received from personnel is important. There is a need to protect the authentic expression of the speaker in support of quality corrective or legal action.
Join Sharon in learning four ways we inadvertently ’nudge’ or lead our conversations and how the addition of a few simple questions can help you reduce inadvertent influence, increase rapport, and gain higher quality responses to your questions.
