ISPI

Last Thursday I had the opportunity to speak to the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) Carolinas chapter. I enjoyed the lively discussion with like-minded professionals. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bud Benscoter, the chapter president, for the past few years. Bud and his board of directors are doing an excellent job serving performance improvement professionals here in the Carolinas.

ISPI membership includes trainers, executive coaches, change consultants, leadership assessment experts, and project managers. Anybody interested in performance improvement, including both independent and in-house consultants, should get involved in ISPI.

You don’t have to live in the Carolinas to participate in an ISPI chapter; you can find ISPI chapters nationwide. Plus, ISPI is planning its national conference in New York City from April 3 through April 8, 2008. The National Conference is a great learning and networking opportunity. Check out ISPI at www.ispi.org.

There are also many free resources on the Free Stuff page on my website.
