You know it in your gut—training and development is valuable and worthwhile. But as a trainer, you need to prove this fact over and over to clients focused on bottom-line results. While most training evaluation methods are too elaborate, too complex, too costly, too difficult to explain, or worse, produce data that nobody believes, Telling Training's Story offers a simple, compelling way of evaluating training's impact: The Success Case Method (SCM).Based on careful analysis of participants' first-person accounts of their experiences in a training initiative, SCM doesn't just measure the impact of training, but pinpoints the very factors that make or break training success. Filled with examples, illustrations, tools, and checklists, Telling Training's Story not only shares the power of the Success Case Method to evaluate training, it also offers practical step-by-step guidelines for increasing the ROI of future learning and performance initiatives.Preface Acknowledgments Part 1Chapter One Getting to the Heart of Training ImpactCan We “Prove” Training Impact?Chapter Two How the Success Case Method Works: Two Basic StepsTraining Evaluation RealitiesThe Success Case Method: Step by StepChapter Three Success Case Method Strategy—Building Organizational Learning CapacityThe Determinants of Training ImpactLearning Alone Is Insufficient Risks of the Common Training Evaluation StrategyAn Evaluation Strategy for Building OrganizationalLearning Competence A Fundamental Shift in FocusRedefining the Evaluation Process Implementing the Strategy to Drive Change Chapter Four Focusing and Planning a Success Case Method Study1.

OLD-SCHOOL top-down organizational behavior won't cut it anymore. Direct chain-of-command hierarchies are obsolete, fast giving way to networked, team-oriented organizations. To be successful, the ability to influence others-especially others over whom you have no direct control-is a must. You have to build alliances and persuade people, not boss them around.The ability to influence people isn't something you're born with, it's a skill anyone can acquire. In his new book, The Influence Edge, experienced organizational consultant Alan Vengel teaches the influence skills needed to enlist the cooperation of others, inside and outside the organization, to achieve your professional goals.Drawing on case studies and illustrative anecdotes from his consulting practice, Vengel introduces a powerful system of influence initiatives and strategic thinking that anyone can apply to almost any work situation. The Influence Edge details specific influence tactics that can lead to workplace success. It provides a nuts and bolts guide for planning for a real influence situation, and shows exactly how to map out a strategy. And The Influence Edge goes deeper into the influence realm to show how to build better long-term rapport, even with really difficult people.An interactive self-study guide, The Influence Edge offers immediate hands-on applications. Its heavily tested, practical insights are embodied in a variety of exercises that help readers evaluate their progress, reflect deeply on what they've read, and build a personal strategy for increasing their influence edge.Vengel equips readers to influence without authority, sell ideas, and build relationships. The Influence Edge is designed to be used again and again. It provides a complete toolkit for turning the often disorderly and seemingly impossible task of getting someone else to help you achieve your goal into an entirely viable process of analysis, preparation, and action.Foreword by Angel Rampy, Manager, Nortel NetworksIntroduction Chapter One: Why You Need Influence Skills Worksheet1: Determining Where You Want More Influence Five Good Reasons for Attaining Influence SkillsWorksheet 2: Determining What You Know About InfluenceBuilding Your Strategy Worksheet 3: Focusing Your Influence NeedsWorksheet 4: Identifying a Specific Influence Situation Chapter Two: Mastering the Two Fundamental Factors of Any Influence SituationThe Two Fundamental Factors of Any Influence SituationJim's Story Worksheet 5: Jim's Dilemma A Closer Look at the Two Fundamental Factors Worksheet 6: Applying the Two Fundamental Factors Influencing a GroupWorksheet 7: Influencing a Group Worksheet 8: Determining Your Action StepsChapter Three: Learning the Key Behaviors That Drive Influence SuccessWhat Is Push Energy?Worksheet 9: Being Smart About Push Energy What Is Pull Energy?Worksheet 10: Being Smart About Pull EnergyWhat Is Push/Pull Energy?Worksheet 11: Being Smart About Push/Pull EnergyFive Key Behaviors of Push, Pull, and Push/Pull EnergyBuilding Your StrategyWorksheet 12: Self-Assessment Putting the Five Key Behaviors to Work for You Building Your StrategyWorksheet 13: Practicing in the Field Chapter Four: Attuning to Personal Communication Styles Worksheet 14: Revisiting Your Situation Worksheet 15: The Authoritarian and You Worksheet 16: The Analyzer and YouWorksheet 17: The Visionary and You Worksheet 18: The Supporter and You Building Your StrategyWorksheet 19: The Four Communication Styles Chapter Five: Putting Together a Complete Influence StrategyWorking the Strategy Steps: The Leslie Problem Strategy Step One: Identifying Situational Factors Strategy Step Two: Identifying Behaviors Strategy Step Three: Determining the Behavior Sequence Strategy Step Four: Distancing StrategyChapter Six: Practice Scenarios for Increasing Your Influence Skills When to Use the Key Behaviors: A Closer LookGuide for Mastering the Key Behaviors More Practice Scenarios for Mastering the Key Behaviors Worksheet 20: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario One)Worksheet 21: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario Two) Worksheet 22: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario Three)Worksheet 23: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario Four) Chapter Seven: Honing Your Influence Edge by Building Rapport \Visual PeopleAuditory PeopleKinesthetic PeopleBuilding Your StrategyWorksheet 24: Representational Systems and Your Influence SubjectWrap-UpAbout the Author

96 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h12min.
Sustainable company growth isn't just a pipedream. This 3-part blueprint is your guide to avoiding the traps that cause growth to stall.As companies mature, their underlying growth naturally slows—this is called the 'growth curse'. It's a pervasive problem that plagues companies, CEOs, and board members alike. In order to safeguard a company's future, a strategic form of governance in which the board plays a more active role on behalf of all stakeholders, must be activated.This book is comprised of 3 parts. First it shows companies how to identify the traditional traps that hinder growth. The second part provides companies with a blueprint for building their board, defining long-term strategy, and adjustments necessary to serve continued growth. The final part delves into the specific ways that the board and executives must collaborate in relation to strategic renewal.Reimagining the limits of growth and how companies are run as a consequence provides an escape from the 'growth curse' at last.

Deux blocs régionaux connaissent une course accélérée pour se connecter : le golfe Persique et la méga-région Asie Centrale/Caucase. Plusieurs corridors ferroviaires, maritimes, énergétiques concurrents, mais en réalité complémentaires poursuivent leur déploiement. Deux outsiders, le projet IMEC (qui devrait relier l’Inde à l’Europe via la péninsule arabique), et le Development Road Corridor entre la Turquie et l’Irak enrichissent ce nouveau « Grand Jeu » d’une importance stratégique majeure. Ils sont assortis de réseaux énergétiques et de câbles terrestres et sous-marins. Acteurs régionaux comme grandes puissances s’activent âprement. Pour décrypter ce puzzle en mouvement, un groupe de spécialistes (experts, mais aussi dirigeants de premier plan) présente non seulement l’état des lieux, mais décrit les enjeux critiques en cause.

92 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h09min.
Le monde de l’entreprise change. L’individu occupe désormais une place centrale dans les débats : bienveillance, génération Z, risques psychosociaux, quête de sens, motivation… La société interroge ses modèles, et une figure concentre toutes les exigences et les attentes, les espoirs comme les contradictions : le manager. Mais de qui parlons-nous ? Qui se cache derrière le manager ? Quel est son rôle ?Trop souvent fantasmée, la fonction managériale est nimbée d’illusions sur la portée de sa fonction et tous s’y engouffrent : dirigeants, RH, salariés et surtout les managers eux-mêmes Gabriel Aussant lève le voile sur ce qui se cache derrière les croyances erronées du « bon manager » : communication, contrôle, périmètres, exemplarités, complexité. Au fil des constats implacables, il éclairera et accompagnera le lecteur à la découverte d’un monde réel, authentique où le manager, cet être humain normal, peut manager et réussir avec simplicité.

Targets are an important part of our work life, whether we are setting them or meeting them. There is a science to target setting. Unfortunately the behavioral impact of target setting on performance is underestimated. This can lead to serious consequences such as game playing, overcharging customers, or demotivating competent managers.This book will help you fill the gap in target setting for performance. The pivotal issue in target setting is that it is an art as well as a science. Perhaps more of an art, requiring a balance between the psychologies of the people taking initiatives, the science of estimating probabilities and aligning with strategies, coupled with the motivational effects of incentives.You will also be introduced to some of the important methods in target setting such as forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and probability analysis; all of which include practical examples to show how these techniques can be directly applied. In the end, you’ll learn how interrelated the various parts of organizational activities are and how they impact on each other, which is important since target setting must include an understanding of the organizational context (e.g., people, competitive environment, structure, strategy) as well as the impact of incentive compensation and information flows.

Targets are an important part of our work life, whether we are setting them or meeting them. There is a science to target setting. Unfortunately the behavioral impact of target setting on performance is underestimated. This can lead to serious consequences such as game playing, overcharging customers, or demotivating competent managers.This book will help you fill the gap in target setting for performance. The pivotal issue in target setting is that it is an art as well as a science. Perhaps more of an art, requiring a balance between the psychologies of the people taking initiatives, the science of estimating probabilities and aligning with strategies, coupled with the motivational effects of incentives.You will also be introduced to some of the important methods in target setting such as forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and probability analysis; all of which include practical examples to show how these techniques can be directly applied. In the end, you’ll learn how interrelated the various parts of organizational activities are and how they impact on each other, which is important since target setting must include an understanding of the organizational context (e.g., people, competitive environment, structure, strategy) as well as the impact of incentive compensation and information flows.

La gouvernance territoriale est aujourd’hui un domaine d’analyse stratégique, à l’intersection des dynamiques institutionnelles, économiques et sociales. Au-delà de la gestion des territoires, elle s’affirme comme un levier fondamental pour réduire les disparités régionales et favoriser un développement territorial équilibré. Cet ouvrage propose une étude approfondie, appliquée à l’économie marocaine, des liens entre gouvernance territoriale et développement économique, avec un double objectif : enrichir la littérature et offrir aux décideurs des outils concrets.Structuré en six chapitres, allant de la caractérisation à l’évaluation des impacts, il présente une analyse conceptuelle et théorique, examine le cadre juridique marocain, dresse un état des lieux de sa mise en œuvre, et propose une évaluation empirique via un questionnaire, suivie d’une analyse économétrique des effets sur le développement.

Le constitutionnalisme africain a été fragilisé par le non-respect des règles constitutionnelles et les coups d’État, phénomènes récurrents depuis les indépendances. Ces crises politiques ont marqué les décennies 1980, 1990, 2000 et sont réapparues depuis 2020. Contrairement à l’opinion de Raymond Carré de Malberg, les constitutionnalistes contemporains ne peuvent ignorer ces événements, tant ils bouleversent la pratique constitutionnelle. Le constitutionnaliste centrafricain Dominique Désiré Erenon analyse ce phénomène, en cherchant à le conceptualiser, identifier ses causes et évaluer ses conséquences sur les États.

Les technologies no-code ont récemment atteint un niveau de maturité qui en font une vraie alternative au développement Web traditionnel. Comme dans tout mouvement émergent, il est difficile de faire la part des choses entre l'offre qui est en train de naître et les messages que peuvent véhiculer les acteurs du secteur. Développer des sites ou applis en exploitant le no-code est également déontologique. Le but est de se réapproprier les moyens de production numérique (relocalisation, "déGAFAïsation", etc.). Afin de permettre au lecteur d'évoluer et de suivre la tendance, l'objectif de l'ouvrage est également de partager les conseils pratiques des auteurs et les meilleurs outils pour avoir une approche contenant un fort versant de "productivité". Tout ceci en illustrant l'ouvrage de cas concrets et de mises en oeuvre pratique. Cette nouvelle édition est enrichie et mise à jour de nouveaux exemples concrets de Nocode.

Conversations About Job Performance details the Communication-Centered Approach (CCA) to performance appraisal that is focused on its most challenging part—the appraisal interview.For many years, researchers and practitioners have devoted substantial time and effort to develop satisfactory performance appraisal systems that impart useful information to employees about their job performance. Nonetheless, problems continue to arise, principally because managers often find it difficult to provide feedback on performance to their employees. If this sounds familiar to you, you’ll need this book, which details the Communication-Centered Approach (CCA) to performance appraisal that is focused on its most challenging part—the appraisal interview.The CCA described by authors Gordon and Miller is important because, despite the continuing evolution of performance appraisal, a conversation about the employee’s performance is still a very important component of the latest systems. Also, focusing on communication offers a valuable perspective on all aspects of performance appraisal: the definition of performance and its various facets, how performance information is given and perceived, and the interactional context that affects the meaning of feedback.Thoughtful insight and communication literature that is the basis for each of these ideas is included, as well as illustrations on how the conceptual foundation may be translated into practice.
