Dick Clark
I’ve been a fan of Dick Clark since the late 1980s. In 2002-4 he served on an ISPI Task Force that I initiated, and he along with Jeanne Farrington crafted a definition of HPT – Human Performance Technology that I really liked:
Definition of HPT – Human Performance Technology:
Human Performance Technology
– An integrated systems approach to improving human performance.
Criteria to Judge applications of HPT:
- Is focused on valuable, measured results;
- Considers the larger system context of people’s performance;
- Provides valid and reliable measures of the effectiveness of those applications
Clearly describes applications grounded in prior research or empirical evidence (or are not discouraged by either one) so that they may be replicated under the conditions and by the means for which they were recommended*
| *When stated this way, intuition and respected practice are permitted and encouraged (provided they meet the first three criteria) without scientific evidence provided that there is no research evidence that it may not work under the conditions or by the means where it is being recommended. |
Our definition of human performance is: “those valued results produced by people working within a system.”Assumptions:
