Episode description

In this episode, Carl Binder talks about Pivot to Performance, and his methodology, and brings this to life with real-life examples. Carl is CEO of The Performance Thinking Network, helping organisations accelerate results through the performance of their people. 

A widely published author, keynote speaker, and consultant, Carl began as a Ph.D. student with B.F. Skinner at Harvard, and has spent over 40 years bringing behaviour science into practical, down-to-earth application.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can deliver fantastic training, but if the business does not make changes to provide the right conditions to enable people to apply what they have learned, better results will not be generated.
• What you want is ongoing accomplishment-based talent development. 
• Using plain English is essential for making your training accessible to all and getting stakeholder buy-in.
• Design is all about the stuff that supports behaviour. In particular, the conditions people work in.
• To get engagement, you need to evangelise about the process and benefits. Without it, people will not understand and will not buy in.
• You need to give people the time and space to become fluent in using tools.
• Delivering training at the right pace and in bursts that prevent fatigue is essential.

BEST MOMENTS

'You need to define performance first. '

'An accomplishment has to be an accountable thing.'

'Generic training, and development, I think is just enormously wasteful.. '

'People who are just going to do the same old thing, the same way they always do as a checkbox, probably are not going to be my clients.. '
