The Importance of Performance Improvement
Systems thinking is a crucial approach for understanding and improving performance within organizations. By viewing the organization as an interconnected whole rather than isolated parts, systems thinking allows us to identify and address root causes of performance issues rather than merely treating symptoms.
The ISPI’s holistic approach helps in understanding how different elements within a system interact
and affect each other, leading to more comprehensive and sustainable solutions.
The second important aspect of this approach is to earn an international credential for your work in improving sustainable performance. This credential will elevate your status in the field of performance and is easily achieved through ISPI’s CPT or CAIT.
This approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. It encourages collaboration across various departments and disciplines, promoting a shared understanding and collective problem-solving, and better outcomes for the organization. I will share unique innovative tools and job aids to get you on your professional path to success and get you going on your CPT or CAIT journey!
