In-House Training
One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the
delivery of on-site trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-
house gives you the opportunity to customize a program that addresses your exact challenges
and provides a more personal learning experience, while virtually eliminating travel expenses.
Whether you require training for your department small group or for an organizationl-wide
initiative, the advanced learning methods employed by The Performance Institute (PI) will create
an intimate training atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent within
your organization.
CUSTOMIZATION
We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf solution.” While
many training providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, PI’s subject
matter experts will work with you and your team to examine your programs and determine your
exact areas of need. The identification of real life examples will create a learning atmosphere
that resonates with participants and provides immediate return on your training investment.
Using interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios from your organization,
instructors can address specific challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your
objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are focused on smaller groups, PI also has the
ability to accommodate organizational-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, PI
has the capacity to deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
On-site delivery of single courses, certification programs and entire packages of specialized
courses are available in the following areas:
• Strategic Planning
• Performance Measurement
• Project Management
• Lean Six Sigma
• Workforce Management
• Performance-Based Budgeting
• Performance-Based Contracting
