It examines basic concepts and principles of human performance, the theoretical underpinnings of the field, research and application literature, and various approaches to solving human performance problems. A systematic approach to the analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation of performance improvement interventions within organizations is emphasized. The basics of change management will also be introduced and practiced.
Learning Outcomes
1.  Identify the major theoretical underpinnings of the field of HPT.
