combine to foster accountability
• Apply the 12 dimensions of meaningful measurability to desired outcomes
• Solve the 5 mistakes most often made in the construction of performance measures

The course includes step-by-step instruction, augmented by weekly assignments; on-demand audio/video presentations; live student interaction with Dalton; online discussions; and a comprehensive guidance document and other essential copyrighted collateral materials.

“This course helps clients align outcomes with expectations. This is achieved by being explicit up front about desired results. Reasonable people can disagree about what constitutes success; Evidence-Based Performance Measures eliminate ambiguity,” said Dalton. “Achievement isn’t an accident. Leading others to accomplish targeted objectives doesn’t happen by chance. There are specific steps to creating a culture of accountability. Students in this course will come away with the tools and understanding they need to implement Evidence-Based Performance Measures, making even the ‘soft stuff’ like attitudes and behaviors measurable.”

“We are thrilled to be adapting and supporting Francie’s work with the iCohere collaborative platform,” said Pascal Kaplan, CEO and Co-Founder of iCohere. “Her workshop is extraordinary, and it is a perfect fit for collaborative eLearning. Now managers worldwide can experience Francie’s wisdom and the utility of her solutions to difficult management challenges.”

Certified Association Executives (CAEs) can earn up to 15 CAE credits for participating in the course.
HR professionals (PHRs and SPHRs) can earn up to 15 HRCI credits.
