Do you recognize the need to change the level of expertise of your
workers?  

Do you recognize that you must do this to survive in the competitive 
computer market?  

Do you recognize the need for extra support through just such a major
change? 

I can help you with my 20 years experience with computers and education.  

I am an educator who recognizes the future of computing in the
workplace and I have some experience with collaborative computing and
electronic performance support. To bring about these changes, I am
a helper, a facilitator, a planner, a designer, a dreamer,
consulting internally to improve performance support within the
corporation.  

The past few years I've been working for a Fortune 500 company to
implement change for a more productive work force. Performance
support provides workers with the right information at the work
site through the use of computer automation. This impacts the
corporations bottom line favorably and increases the organizations
competitiveness. 

Many of you may not be aware of the existance and value of
performance technology, the craft of facilitating the desired
performance in the workplace. Training is not the only solution
for improved worker performance. My graduate level degrees and
experience have had me solving these types of problems and include
instructional design and change strategies. 

I have designed and developed computer-based training systems,
programed and whatever else it took to get the projects
completed on time, though I am not a programmer. The decade of the 
nineties will be known for increased use of computing for training,
performance support and collaborative computing. This is possible
with the advent of faster affordable computers and networks, and
more powerful operating systems for multimedia.

I have designed training systems to support a worldwide field service 
organization as new products come on line, created specialized
programs to meet specific learning needs, developed training
materials, worked inside a major turnkey computer workstation
hardware and software environment, studied the learning needs of
customers, evaluated performance of specialized training products
for engineering applications, managed automated broadcast
facilities, directed a university computer learning center, and
much more. 

Over the years most of my time has been spent dealing with change
by way of implementing new systems, changing attitudes, and
supporting change itself. I feel comfortable with change and bring
my experience and education which includes a Master of Education
M.Ed. (1985) and terminal degree Ed.S (1987) from Utah State
University in Instructional Technology to the job.

If you have a need for improved performance support, just want to talk
about it, or know someone else who does, please reply.
