Wally will challenge the way we think about the typical performance appraisal. Wally challenges the belief that an entire organization must improve by improving each of its parts. Wally gets participants to examine their underlying beliefs and practices concerning performance appraisals.

Using the Complete People Improvement Process (CPIP) as the foundation, Wally will help you learn:

• The reasons why typical performance appraisals will never work well with the current design.
• How to think differently about performance in order to make significant productivity improvements.
• How performance appraisals prevent long term performance improvement.
• How performance appraisals create a barrier to optimal trust, cooperation and creativity.
• How the CPIP can significantly increase accountability.
• How CPIP can help poor performances “de-select” quickly and top performers excel.
• How CPIP can save valuable management time and increase profitability

Today organizations must fully engage the hearts and minds of all employees to achieve strategic results and high profitability.

Who Should Attend: HR managers, Managers, Directors and Company leaders

Virtual Meetings
Professors and students find audio and web conferencing very beneficial to their daily schedules, allowing them to collaborate in real-time in internet meetings. Online meetings using web conferencing enables a department, a study group or a research team to work on group projects any time, day or night. If traveling or unavailable for an on campus session, faculty can do a live or recorded webcast of an assignment or lecture to students and monitor who attends or views the webcast using registration reporting. Reducing the need for in-person meetings frees up time so students can focus on other school related assignments, faculty can focus on teaching or research and staff can conduct daily business more efficiently and effectively.

Fund Raising
Higher education institutions use web and audio conferencing to bring alumni and other donors together for fund raising events. Through the highly interactive format of a webinar, colleges and universities are able to show real-time documents, browser share and display applications, which help alumni and donors to better envision future plans and how their donations will play a part in those efforts.

Connecting Alumni to Students
Many colleges and universities find that connecting alumni with prospective students results in higher matriculation and that connecting alumni with current students results in more active alumni post graduation. Through teleconferences and webinars institutions are making these connections. Entrance interviews, intern interviews, industry and job information sessions are just some of the ways web and phone conferencing are used to connect alumni and students.

Collaborating on Teaching Methodologies
Professors, departments and other personnel find teleconferencing and interactive webinars beneficial resources for internal and external meetings. Being able to collaborate with a colleague on campus or across the world helps them share ideas which can better faculty teaching abilities, benefitting the students and schools. New ways to approach hard to reach students, make curriculum relevant and uses of new technology are all ideas that can be proffered in a collaborative conference call.

Research Teams
Colleges and universities receive numerous grants to research and publish on various topics. Collecting data, collaborating with the researchers and conducting focus groups are all better enabled using conferencing technology. Web conferencing services allow a research team to conduct a poll, get an instant data report and compile data for research studies.

Understanding the many ways colleges can benefit from using audio and web conferencing ensures donors, alumni, students, professors and other college personnel are able to meet in the most cost-effective and informative fashion. Working in real-time via a web conference negates the need for travel, saves money and enables participants to have more productive and thorough meetings. While there is still a need for face-to-face meetings, web and audio conferencing are becoming more common on campuses in the United States and worldwide.
