Analysing Human Performance

Reflection

My group assignment and knowledge of this course would have been impossible if I

did not have a copy of the required text, Fundamentals of performance improvement:

Optimizing results through people, process, and organizations written by Darlene Van Tiem,

James L. Moseley, Joan C. Dessinger. In an effort to familiarize myself with the necessary

material I used Balabolka software to convert the main areas of focus into audio files for

ease of access .The information was equally overwhelming and intriguing . My group shared

the synopsis of the individual assignments with each other via WhatsApp, Whats App Web

and Google Docs . This proved to have been an excellent activity as we proposed reasons and

justifications for using the respective interventions in our projects before a consensus was

met. This in fact was much of the analytical aspects of HPI. I must confess to being a bit  biased on my choice of project. Ayana and Terrercere are not in the educational sector and for

this reason I was eager to complete our group project in either of their related fields.Our

group Systemic Performance Solutions went the extra mile to complete each task according

to scheduled deadlines. We communicated at least four times per week and shared ideas to

get the best result for the group project. I am now able to see clearly on an organizational

perspective that as a future Instructional Designer, there are several ways to address

performance issues within an organization. Training is important, but there are other

procedures and strategies for solving problems and realizing opportunities related to

performance of people in an organization. One notable takeaway about Human Performance

Technology observed by myself and my teammates was the awareness of systems and design

thinking philosophies.
