Le aziende spendono milioni di dollari per il miglioramento delle prestazioni, la formazione e lo sviluppo dei dipendenti, la riprogettazione del sistema di lavoro e altri sforzi di miglioramento organizzativo. Gran parte di questo denaro viene sprecato perché l'analisi e la diagnosi preliminare non sono state fatte per collegare questi programmi alle reali esigenze, obiettivi e processi aziendali di un'organizzazione.
La verità è che affinché qualsiasi sforzo di miglioramento delle prestazioni possa aggiungere valore all'organizzazione, è necessaria un'analisi approfondita. Analysis for Improving Performance descrive in dettaglio un approccio sistematico per eseguire la rigorosa analisi preparatoria che è vitale per modellare e sviluppare sforzi di miglioramento delle prestazioni di successo.
I metodi di Richard A. Swanson consentono agli sviluppatori e ai manager del programma di definire obiettivi chiari, valutare i sistemi e le missioni esistenti, analizzare le conoscenze e le competenze dei lavoratori, definire gli standard di prestazione e valutazione desiderati e sviluppare un piano di miglioramento delle prestazioni che soddisferà gli obiettivi di performance desiderati.
Questa nuova edizione è stata ampiamente rivista e presenta concetti ampliati e casi aggiornati, nonché un nuovo capitolo sulla documentazione e il miglioramento dei processi di lavoro e sulla documentazione delle attività referenziate ai processi. Scritto per responsabili di take-charge, specialisti di miglioramento delle prestazioni e lavoratori che desiderano migliorare le loro organizzazioni, Analysis for Improving Performance fornisce conoscenze, strumenti, esempi, grafica ed esercizi del mondo reale volti a sviluppare la tua esperienza nella diagnosi delle prestazioni organizzative e documentare le competenze sul posto di lavoro, le chiavi del successo organizzativo a lungo termine. In breve, è una guida completa per garantire che il tempo, il denaro e lo sforzo che investi nello sviluppo organizzativo siano ben spesi.

“Without thorough analysis, workplace performance efforts will most certainly fall short of the organization’s intentions and needs. Swanson’s methodology hits the mark in providing an insightful view and practical tools for performance and work analysis.”
— Kent Dubbe, Manager of Organization Development and Training, 3M Corporation
“Analysis for Improving Performance delivers on its title. We used the diagnosis and documentation tools presented in the book, and the results more than met our expectations. Even after the original need was met, we continued to use them as a means of improving performance.”
— Dan Thorton, CEO and President, Scoville Press
