Week four brings about the request for the development of a performance management framework plan for Landslide Limousine via Atwood and Allen Consulting firm. To develop a plan that will be beneficial to Landslide Limousine we will review specific aspects of the business philosophy and methodologies in terms of relations to performance management. In creating this performance management framework, we will use applicable information provided by Landslide Limousine as well as make some general assumptions. We will take recommendations that ultimately assist the client in developing their own Performance Management Framework to include suggestions of key performance indicators, reporting metrics, and the processes to maintain such resources. We will embrace a methodology that assists them in acknowledging defined business benefits. The methodology is established first on key leadership buy-in, then by developing a structured appraisal method based on growth methodologies. This approach puts the business in control with leading best practice focused around reasonable application, exhibited through usage, and constantly refined by the customer 's encounters.

Incoming CEOs and general managers don't have much time to show what they can do to improve a business's performance. Within a few years at most, leaders must find ways to boost profitability, increase market share, overtake a competitor--whatever the key tasks may be. But they can't map out specific objectives and initiatives until they have accurately assessed their companies' distinctive strengths and weaknesses and the particular threats and opportunities they face. In this article, Bain consultants Gottfredson, Schaubert, and Saenz provide a diagnostic template to help organizations figure all that out so they can decide which goals are reasonable and where to focus performance-improvement

According to (Russ-Eft and Preskill, 2009), Donald Kirkpatrick created an evaluation taxonomy in 1959 that he conceptualized as a four-step-approach evaluation or a multilevel evaluation approach. Since performance depends on many different factors, such as the intake and transfer of knowledge, poor training efforts, behavior and attitude, measures of efficacy, capability and/or adaptably, the Kirkpatrick model serves as a solid evaluation starting point. Kirkpatrick found that the evaluation of training should consist of four levels or stages, where each stage measures a different outcome and follows a level 1-4 hierarchal system. This doesn't necessarily mean that the level order applies directly to every situation or should be followed

In my self assessment paper at the beginning of the year I mentioned that my level of confidence, on a scale of one to ten, was a seven. Now I feel like I am pretty close, if not at an eight. For having a personal goal of a nine, I would say I am doing pretty good. The more speeches I did the more relaxed I felt for each one. Hopefully, with all the speeches I may have to do in the future, I will have more confidence and will continue to increase my confidence along the way. A way of showing confidence is keeping eye contact with the audience. One strategy that I used to keep that eye contact was to just keep reminding myself that it is my friends listening to my speech and it is easier the look at the audience when you know you have people
Throughout the Master’s program here at Walden I have acquired the knowledge and skills to be a successful and innovative instructional designer. It gave me the essential skills and competencies needed to enter the field of Instructional Design. The challenges that I saw coming into the program is that to be a good Instructional designers you need to be an expert in interpersonal communication and to a good problem solver and a critical thinker. Instructional designers must meet the expectations of their learners by applying educational knowledge and be able to identify key issues in the best possible way, to be able to develop the most appropriate eLearning solutions. This can be a very challenging if you are a new instructional designer, and don’t have the experience or educational knowledge. However, through this program I learned that in order to design and develop a powerful course you must have clear learning objectives, because it will give you an idea on where to start and it helps you not to lose the focus of the

The quality of teaching and learning in mathematics is a key challenge for teachers. It is important for teachers to adopt instructional design techniques to achieve higher accomplishment in mathematics (Rasmussen & Marrongelle, 2006). Instructional design alone cannot produce better learning and achievement. The instructional designer must know critical factors that influence student learning and build a bridge between goals and student performance.
