Quick and simple
Research-based Identifies and explains the differences between performers who are successful in implementing change and those who are not Provides models of performance that can inspire and motivate others Identifies the factors that contribute to intervention success or failure Provides information related to the direct results of the intervention Focuses on meaningful business results Can help determine need for additional evaluation Unlike other forms of evaluation, the SCM does not apply complex statistical analyses to identify average performance, but rather highlights factual accounts of the best results the program is capable of achieving and explains results to clients in meaningful business terms. SCM follows this basic process: Define a clear purpose for the study, identify key stakeholders and their interests, design a plan for the study including time limits and availability of other resources.
Define what success should look like by focusing on desired performance results.
Design and administer a brief survey to targeted performers including items related to use of new methods and tools form the intervention and their results. Analyze survey results and select a random sample of success and non-success cases.
Conduct one-to-one interviews with success cases to determine specifics of intervention use and results, perceived value of the results, and environmental supports that enabled success. Conduct one-to-one interviews with non-success cases to determine why they weren’t able to apply or benefit from the intervention and identify barriers to success.
Analyze data and select the most compelling successes.
Present conclusions and recommendations to client in the form of detailed stories
Perhaps the greatest value of this method is that it assists HPT practitioners in linking the results of interventions to the bottom-line through answers to the questions:
What results is the program producing?
What parts of the program work better than others?
What factors in the work environment are helping or hindering the change?
How widespread is the scope of the success?
What is the return on investment?
How much additional value could be derived from the program?
Case Studies
Compaq
Background:
The organization offered a two-week training course to help technicians install and service components of a new product. Despite the high demand for the course driven by business needs, rumors were circulating about the inadequacy of the training
Evaluation Plan:
Survey trainees who had completed the course within the past 12 months with a 2-item questionnaire. Randomly sample success and non-success cases for further interview.
Results:
SCM findings showed that the training program was successfully applied to meet customer needs by 60% of the trainees. The other 40% of trainees reported that they had never used what they had learned from the course. This may be due to the fact that many technicians who did not have customers with the new product had completed the course. The course enrollment process was redesigned and ROI and business impact from the course increased.
Global telecommunications company
Background:
In an extremely competitive market, top sales representatives were being recruited to other companies and annual sales growth goals had been set relatively low compared to the actual growth that had been achieved in a very short time. A sample of sales leadership positions completed an exercise in which they identified what they needed to do to help the company succeed. One-on-one coaching sessions were then provided to every sales leader, focusing on supporting their plans and successes.
Evaluation Plan:
Ninety-five percent of participants responded to a 7-item survey from which a random sample of success and non-success cases were selected for further interview.
Results:
Successes: The coaching process influenced several leaders to remain with the company, including the top performer. The coaching program was supported at the executive level. The company’s rate charges remained competitive. Non-success: Many participants reported a lack of purpose for the coaching program.
The organization made a long-term commitment to staff development. Support for the coaching program increased as stories of its success spread and retention of top sales talent increased.
