These resources are provided as a follow-up to the educational session, Who Needs HPT? Competing Models for Performance Improvement presented by Deb Wagner, Shaunda Paden, CPT, and

Diane Gayeski, PhD. at the annual conference of the International Society of Performance Improvement (ISPI) held April 2006 in Dallas, Texas.

Program Description

HPT is not the only model for improving organizational performance. In fact, it’s far less recognized than competing (or complimentary) models like Six Sigma and recognitions like the Baldrige, Best Places to Work, and Corporate Citizen awards.  So … should we give up on HPT and join the bandwagon?  We’ll share our research on how HPT aligns with these popular initiatives, and you can take sides in a lively debate about the future of HPT.
