Book excerpt: Is your organization achieving impressive results by enhancing its employees' performance - or is it merely engaged in the activity of training? This is the question and the challenge posed by Beyond Training and Development, a groundbreaking guide to implementing a company-wide human performance enhancement (HPE) program. In Beyond Training and Development, you'll discover an action manual for change. The book provides a comprehensive new model for HPE and describes practical strategies for its implementation. And it shows how HPE methods improve both individual and organizational productivity and competence. Rothwell's book makes the whole process easier by providing a unified approach to performance improvement based on a single, original model; explaining how to distinguish between job problems, worker problems, organizational problems, and environmental problems - and how to choose the best strategy or combination of strategies to address each type of problem; and going beyond traditional ideas of "training" or "development" that are limited in scope and too focused on scattered activities rather than results.
