How can you ensure that the organization sees you as a valued contributor? The best way is for you to understand and support it in reaching its goals. Performance support is one of the few organizational processes with an opportunity to align individual performance with the strategic goals of the business. How do you align with and successfully translate these goals into the actions necessary to meet them?
Session participants will learn how to become proficient at translating performance support language like "on-demand" and "moment of need" into the language of your business, such as "productivity gains," "increased customer satisfaction," and "reduction in costs." You must help the business understand when PS is appropriate, and, perhaps even more importantly, when it is not the answer. You'll learn how to ensure that you and your stakeholders are speaking the same language and supporting the same goals.

Throughout the session we’re going to engage in some audience polling to find out what you’re thinking, what you’re up to and what you know. Now I’m going to ask for your opinion. We’re going to use your phones to do some audience voting just like on American Idol. So please take out your cell phones, but remember to leave them on silent. You can participate by sending a text message or tweeting.
So if you don’t already have them handy and would like to participate let’s do a quick one to make sure we don’t have any struggles once we get going?
Let’s also check to see where we all sit within the context of our organizations.

It is the rare business manager who cares about any of the stuff we do…except for how it translates into results towards their business goals. - get out of your box. If you look at what the company needs only from the perspective of your own function (HR, IT, marketing – whatever it is), you will be seen as tactical at best, and an impediment to the business’ success at worst. Step back and think about what would best serve the business overall. Speak from that vantage point.

What are they talking about in their strategic planning meetings?
When it’s annual review time, what are the things that you get measured against?
How are they different from the business goals? Should they be the same? Related in some way?

One of our challenges is that we often get requests for a particular solution already assumed. We don’t want to be seen as non-cooperative but being in order-taker mode is not the best place to be.

They want the result but may not be asking the right question to get it. They NEVER want a job aid, course etc…they want the results. Don’t want the drill, we want the holes.
Do you ever get requests for which you question the value?
This is the most simple thing yet not a trivial matter of semantics…nor an easy habit to break. Yes and is positive and moves things forward. It‘s open and explores possibilities. BUT is negative, shuts down others and cuts off progress, etc. My wife has told me that “but” negates everything that comes before it…and she is right. Try it..it feels different and it will make a difference.
By working from a consultative mindset instead of being an order taker, our responsibility is to ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS & partner to get the right answers.
Does anyone like to be told what they should do? Without any input etc?
Obviously answering these questions requires some degree of analysis. Often times it has to be ‘ninja style’ !In addition to analysis for finding the best alternatives to implement, another important role of analysis, especially when we have more projects than we can do is to prioritize which projects to do first, which ones later and which ones maybe never. Analysis, is an entire subject unto itself that we won’t attempt to cover here today. Here are a few great places to get you started with information on this topic.

KramlingerGary Wise has a great post about “Covert Consulting”Additionally, I think it critical to know what success will look like. In other words, how will we…more importantly…how will you…know we’ve been successful?”
