How to Improve Performance with E-Learning By Alev Ates-Barlas What is Performance Improvement? In order to improve anything, you have to be able to: measure it; manage it; and evaluate it. Those are the three core skills offered by the Performance Improvement Management (PIM) online professional certificate program offered by Ithaca College’s Division of Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS). Right now, many professionals in the fields of communications, training, and consulting are being forced to do a better job of justifying the value of their projects. In fact, given the economic environment, even top-level managers cannot simply will a project into being. Regardless of your own position in the professional world, the PIM certificate program will give you the ability to: Calculate return on investment (ROI) Build a business case and obtain funding for your projects Manage your projects with an eye on performance improvement Engage in strategic planning and change management This set of skills is important because, regardless of your position or level of responsibility with an organization, you must be able to propose, manage, and measure projects. How Can E-Learning Help?
