The Impact of Cross-Disciplinary Research on Performance Improvement Research and Practice

• In Event: OTP- Connecting Research to Practice and Professional Development (h)

Short Description

Performance Improvement. Performance Technology. Human Performance Technology. Improvement Science. Performance Engineering. All terms used to define the field of study concerned with analyzing, diagnosing, and resolving organizational performance problems. The use of different terms for similar work in different disciplines has resulted in a highly disconnected body of knowledge and unnecessary repetitions in research. This presentation will seek to integrate cross-disciplinary research to identify foundational principles and best practices and advance the field.
