The presentation, which presents the preliminary results of our study into the job description of the performance consultant, won’t be a boring research presentation–it’s geared towards practitioners.
More significantly–if you agree with our conclusions, it strongly suggests that the Training and Development profession has some serious re-thinking to do about this important job role.

About the Session: Since Dana and Jim Robinson formally identified the role in the 1990s, many workplace learning and performance specialists have aspired to work in the value-added role of a performance consultant. But what does the performance consultant really do?
After comparing popular notions about the job with evidence from actual job descriptions, this presentation provides participants with a research-validated, general job description for the role and links that description to the CSTD Competency Model. Using that information, this session concludes by suggesting specific hiring and performance management strategies that learning leaders can use with their performance consultants, and professional development tactics that aspiring performance consultants might consider.
Objectives
- Using research-validated information as a guide, differentiate a performance consultant from other jobs in workplace learning and performance.
- Using a research-validated job description as a guide, identify specific hiring and performance management strategies for working with or as a performance consultant.
- Using the job description and the CSTD Competency Model as guides, identify specific professional development strategies for aspiring performance consultants.
Speakers: Saul Carliner, CTDP, Chantal Castonquay, Ofelia Ribeiro, Hiba Sabri, Chantal Saylor, Emily Sheepy, and Andre Valle
