“Material flowed well! Easy to listen to! Encouraged story telling. Great listener. Pulled all participants in equally.” –Line Manager, Portland General Electric

Human Performance Improvement (HPI) is the application of principles and techniques specifically designed to reduce organizational events. After deploying a robust Human Performance Improvement effort, companies typically see more than a 40% decrease in human errors and the costs associated with them. However, HPI is NOT just about hurting fewer people and reducing the costs associated with unwanted events. The principles and philosophy of HPI equip us to be better leaders, whether at work or at home.
HPI 3.0 builds on the original foundation of HPI by integrating emergent research in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Ergonomics, Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Behavioral Economics, etc.
If your goal is to become a better leader while reducing events caused by human error in your organization, this 2-day course will give you the information you need to start down that path.
