StrategyDriven Human Performance Management Forum

Excellent business strategies fail to deliver superior results when not executed well. Subsequently, consistent, high-quality human performance becomes a critical component to successfully achieving the organization’s goals.

Yet, being human means making errors. Even well-intentioned, hardworking employees will make 3 errors out of every 100 actions taken simply because of the human condition. Thus, the question of achieving excellent human performances is twofold… how can the human error rate be minimized and how can business systems be structured such that human errors don’t result in costly or catastrophic failures?

Focus of the Human Performance Management Forum

Materials within the Human Performance Management Forum focus on those principles and best practices implemented at leading organizations to ensure consistent, high-quality human performance appropriately balanced with the need for cost-conscious efficiency. The following articles, podcasts, documents, and resources cover those topics critical to an exceptional human performance management.

While individual performed human performance tools can greatly reduce error rates, there exists some circumstances when even this resulting low error rate is intolerable.
