HPT+assessment+competencies


 * After reading this unit’s readings in the Rothwell and Pershing texts, and exploring the ISPI and ASTD Web sites as well as the ISPI Capella Virtual Chapter Web site:
 * Post three types of resources available to you on the ISPI Capella Virtual Chapter website and explain how you might use them and become involved in the chapter.
 * Post three elements of what HPI/HPT is that are similar to what you thought it was when you signed up for this course.
 * Post three elements of what HPI/HPT is that differ from what you thought it was when you signed up for this course.
 * Post how the definition of HPI/HPT relates to a problem your organization is facing today. ||

After reading and reflecting on the readings ASTD Core Competencies from the text and the ISPI performance standards, I have assessed my major strengths to be in those that tie in to instructional systems design and people skills . Going forth, the areas I need more to focus more on are 2. 4. 5. 9. 10 while my strengths are 1. 3. 5. 7.8. The justifications for the estimation are: 1. My focus on results and ability to help clients focus on results is very good. I understand and enjoy the process of helping people establish and meet their goals. 2. I am experienced viewing at situations systemically however not to the reliable extent that I would know where to look for all competing pressures, resource constraints, or anticipated changes. In additional I am less clear on identifying elements of a ‘market environment’ or how it could affect group performance or identify misalignment. 3. I do add value to clients in how I perform and by the work as I look to provide options for solutions with related return on investment (ROI) and the probability and extent of success for each solution as these are the elements I would weigh in my determination of the optimal solutions I would propose. 4. To fully utilize partnerships or collaborate with clients and other experts as required for success I need additional education. I have limited experience dealing with entire systems that require precise coordination of processes. Communication Systems Analysis, Market Analysis, and Data System Analysis are vague concepts to me at this point.

5. Performing a formal Needs Assessment is strength in that I have the education, background and experience in ISD. 6. The systematic analysis to identify factors that limit work performance and task analysis is strength from ISD experience and training. 7. I have experience in systematic solution design and specification of the requirements of the solution so I consider this strength. <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .25in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> 8. The design of the solution or specification of the requirements of the solution is also strength. As I am an instructional systems designer I have the knowledge to d <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">evelop, produce, deploy, and maintain instructional materials or determine the need to consult other experts those who do have the specific skills related to a project. Establishing objectives, formative and summative evaluations, beta tests and rewards, in other words all portion of the instructional solution would be a competency. <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">9. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> I have limited experience in real life <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> implementations of solutions however <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I imagine that I would be able to provide a detailed explanation of one or more solutions and their requirements for implementation because this information would be available from the findings of previous work done toward this end. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .25in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">10. The implementation of the solution is not a strength. I am not familiar with the strategies to effectively produce or schedule, implement or determine the effectiveness of the change message nor do I know how to determine if there is buy in or meet the challenge of resistance. My ISD experience has not prepared me with the skill or knowledge to meet this competency. <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .25in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">References <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Hohne, C.
