The Nine Keys to Performance Management
Jay Jamrog, SVP of Research, i4cp

Despite what some may want you to believe, there is no silver bullet that will fix an organization's performance management process (PM). While there are plenty of vendors who claim they can deliver an easy fix, automating a bad process just makes it more difficult to address the underlying issues and, in turn, can negatively affect HR's credibility with the business.

Through groundbreaking research, i4cp has identified the nine keys to performance management that will allow for better integration, realistic evaluation and improved business results. In this unique workshop, Jay Jamrog, SVP of Research at i4cp, will explore the nine keys with participants and examine some of the biggest challenges in leveraging and integrating performance management processes, including:

  • The different performance management models
  • Making the business case for performance management
  • Exercises to use with each of the nine keys of performance management

Evidence-Based Decision Making & Analytics
John Gibbons, Vice President and General Manager of Research, i4cp

Your company's talent represents a key competitive advantage. However, most decisions regarding talent are driven by conventional wisdom and intuition. And this is true at all levels of the organization, from front line supervisors to the board room. This workshop will focus on what an evidence-based approach to decision making looks like and how it can benefit your company. It will also focus on examples from leading companies that showed success in driving evidence-based decision making and the transformation of their HR teams.
