“…During decision processes, BEP Techs must understand leadership's reasoning for prioritizing business‐entity performance improvement over human performance improvement. This requires the BEP Tech to ultimately make “Mega the central concern of every choice, of every decision” (Kaufman, , p. 31), especially during occasions such as litigation or other formidable widespread or large strategic‐level circumstances. Therefore, BEP Techs must possess high emotional intelligence, negotiate with the strong personalities and recommendations of decision makers, discern emergencies without preconceived judgment, and maneuver the decision‐making process with integrity.…”

No matter how much HPT practitioners improve human performance, we are not granted enough invitations to serve as tactical and strategic decision makers. Many "earning" decision makers such as financial experts regard HPT professionals as no more than operational-level learning professionals.Therefore, HPT practitioners cannot rely on current decision makers to initiate a call for increased respect for the HPT industry. However, there is a contingent of HPT practitioners known as business-entity performance technologists (BEP Techs) who serve as HPT activists by obtaining influential roles in decision processes. Their goals are to influence decision makers, become decision makers, support decision makers, and challenge decision makers from other industries to respect HPT practitioners as more than just learning professionals. To do this, they focus more on the improvement of business-entity performance than on human performance. They seek to obtain respect for the HPT industry as both learning and earning professionals.

“…In the Seuss story the sneeze of an insect is a triggering event that has cascading and far reaching consequences. In a similar vein, Roger Kaufman (Kaufman, ) wrote about the Power of the Ones noting that one person, or one team, or one organization can have a far‐reaching influence. This is a tale of how one human performance technology (HPT) practitioner influenced the direction of a workplace learning program in a university and how that impact is now spilling over into the community and the state.…”

A passing comment at a chance meeting led to students from the University of New Mexico's (UNM) Organization, Information, and Learning Sciences (OILS) program participating in the University Case Study Competition (CSC) at the 2013 ISPI international conference. The teams’ involvement in the contest resulted in many lessons learned and in the transformation of an academic program. This article discusses the benefits accrued from CSC participation by a student team, one of the team's professors, and the OILS program. The article also illustrates the impact that a single individual can have on others, a program, and a community.

Technology and Its Impact on Educational Leadership

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Organizational change is a situation, while innovation is an attitude of change. Organizations cannot, in a global economy, remain static and rooted in current practices. Organizational innovation is the necessary ingredient for successful change. More difficult than both change and innovation is the subject of sustainability. Change is often a temporary “fix” that quickly reverts to status-quo. This chapter recommends practices for change management and organizational innovation by reviewing change theories, describing innovation models, referencing sustainability leadership, and providing examples of technology integration. Educators, trainers, performance specialists, change agents, managers, and organizational development professionals will benefit by understanding the principles and future trends of innovation. Both educational institutions and industrial organizations will utilize the guiding questions to determine their readiness to embrace organizational innovation. The goal is to instill the need for an attitude of change in all stakeholders of the organization in order to be well equipped to direct the nation’s workforce.
