Recommendation for Guy W. Wallace on LinkedIn

Richard E. Clark, PhD – USC - Professor and Director, Center for Cognitive Technology, University of Southern California   – APA Fellow – clark@usc.edu

“My university research center concentrates on R&D in evidence-based performance improvement and one of our goals is to keep track of the activities of top professionals. Guy Wallace constantly appears on our radar as the best current example of the consummate professional in our field.

His broad experience, constant creativity, successful work for his clients and his original contributions to our field all sum together into a very impressive career. Guy has been working in the same field for a quarter century and he could easily rest on his past accomplishments. Yet he continues to create novel and exciting solutions for his clients. He invests considerable effort and so understands both best practice and the huge body of research and evaluation that supports practice.

He also spends quality time helping younger colleagues develop and works to advance our profession though professional organizations such as the International Society for Performance Improvement (where he was elected President a few years back) and the American Society for Training and Development.

But what impresses me most about Guy is his ability to think clearly about very complex problems. He has an exceptional talent for stepping back from complex issues and generating simple solutions and insights that are both sensible and effective.”

- Dick Clark – June 28, 2009

EPPIC is the Enterprise Process Performance Improvement Consultancy

Guy Wallace and EPPIC do instructional design and performance improvement efforts. We conduct Performance and Gap Analysis efforts using structured, collaborative Methods with our clients’ handpicked Master Performers. These methods have been field tested in projects hundreds and hundreds of times by me, my ISD Consulting staff, and my clients’ ISD staff, for over 30 years.

Our approach makes the process and outcomes, the tasks and the cycle times, and the schedules and costs – very predictable.

We do most of our work over 80% – for a Fixed Fee versus Time & Expense – and have been doing so since since 1982. We have never issued a change order.  Not since entering the consulting field in 1982.

• Here are our Testimonials and Case Studies that speak to our demonstrated capabilities – and to the Results produced.

• Our Client Listing has over 60 firms including more than 45 Fortune 500 Firms.

• We have received several highly prized Awards and Recognition which are listed here.

EPPIC is Guy W. Wallace 

…and his trusted Associates. He has worked with some associates for over 25 years and most over 10 years.

Guy has worked as an external consultant – most often in the lead role – but sometimes following the lead of his business partners, senior staff consultants and sometimes other client suppliers and consultants – on over 250 projects for over 60 clients including over 45 Fortune 500 firms.

He has been doing this all but 3 years since 1982 – at 3 consulting firms where he was a partner/consultant/equity owner: Svenson & Wallace Inc. (1982-1997), CADDI Inc. (1997-2002), EPPIC Inc. (2002-today).

Guy’s specialty, since his first back in 1982 and with Exxon Exploration USA for their Geologists and Geophysicists, is Curriculum Architecture Design – CAD. 

CAD is used for the development of performance-based Training Paths (Learning Paths, Development Roadmaps, etc.) that reconcile the performance requirement needs with the existing content to identify gaps and overlaps of content. This attempts to create a holistic approach to both On-Boarding and On-Going Development – for Performance Requirements Competence – that includes formal and less formal as appropriate to the Risks and Rewards of the situation and the ROI poetntial.

Guy has conducted 74 such CAD efforts since that first in 1982.

His and client staff that he developed have also produced hundreds and hundreds of additional efforts.

He co-authored the first article published on Curriculum Architecture – in Training Magazine in September 1984 - and was the first to present nationally on the topic – at an NSPI Conference in 1985.

He has been teaching others on his staff and on his corporate clients’ staffs these ISD – Instructional Systems Design’s analysis and design methods for CAD – and at the course development level – since 1983.

He started EPPIC after 20 years as a partner in 2 other consulting firms: at Svenson & Wallace Inc (SWI) 1982-1997 – and at CADDI 1997-2002.

EPPIC

…is focused on creating ROI from targeted Training/ Learning/ Knowledge Management – and other non-Instructional Interventions – and we have  a track record of achieving that for our clients!

…is a practitioner of evidence-based practices – using the science of learning and avoiding research disproven practices.

Guy is a CPT – Certified Performance Technologist – and has been since September 2002. That means his work and results have been attested to by his clients.

He has received numerous awards and recognition from his clients and professional organizations, including:

• being the recipient of ISPI’s Honorary Life Member Award in 2010
• and was recruited as a founding member of the ASQ Influential Voices Program in 2010.

Randy Kohout

Vice President of Organization Capability CUNA Mutual randy.kohout@cunamutual.com

“Guy is a true instructional design and performance improvement professional, author and practitioner. While I was working at Bank of America we commissioned Guy and his CADDI team to redesign the three retail bank learning and development programs into one high performing curriculum design.

As a result of this work we were able to reduce turnover at the front line teller positions by an average of 30%.

Guy’s ethics and proven approach made the effort very cost effective and fast to implement. I would recommend Guy for his knowledge of   human performance technology, for his client service focus and for his business ethics.
