Have you ever wondered why training solutions often don't actually solve business problems? Or maybe you just inherently know that the REAL issue is something other than a training issue. How can you be sure? And if you're right, how do you effectively communicate that to management?
Performance Improvement Consulting, or PIC, is an outstanding answer to that question.
Guy Wallace is a long time Performance Analyst and Instructional Architect. He joined IDIODC to share his knowledge of PIC and how you can level up your career from ID to Performance Analyst Consultant.
Discovering root causes to performance problems is critical in your success. Even if you're "just the instructional designer", you'll want to know if the work you're doing is going to have any impact on the business. And if the business problem is not a problem that your training solution will solve, then you will fail. And nobody likes to fail, right?
