This workshop is focused on skill building for the Learning Professional, Organizational Development Professional, Human Resource Professional....anyone and everyone who consults with business leaders to understand the business need. Planning and using powerful “Should, Is, Cause” questions to complete a Gaps Map is a skill Jim and Dana Robinson developed and used during their distinguished careers.

Their books on performance consulting, including their new third edition of the classic Performance Consulting book, are widely read and considered the blueprint for applying gaps logic in a business setting. 

During this session the participants will use two basic mental models, view positive video examples of how to conduct a consulting meeting, plan your questions for your own practice scenario and begin completing a Gaps Map of your own. The key takeaway from this session is being able to ask the correct “Should, Is, Cause” questions in order to obtain performance relationship data and complete a Gaps Map.

Participants will practice this skill during the workshop through realistic scenarios and receive feedback on their performance.

Performance Objectives:

  1. Apply the “Needs Hierarchy” to categorize performance needs in an organization.
  2. Use known information about a performance gap to begin a Gaps Map in preparation for a client interview.
  3. Ask “Should, Is, Cause” questions in a client interview to work toward completion of a Gaps Map.
  4. Identify both learning and non-learning causes that will lead to the development of an integrated performance solution.

Companion Book - Performance Consulting: A Strategic Process to Improve, Measure and Sustain Organizational Results, by Dana Robinson, James Robinson, Patti Phillips, Jack Phillips and Dick Handshaw, Copyright 2015.
