There are many benefits that training can have on your organization, including lower workforce churn, increased employee productivity and greater income generation. However, the true ROI (Return on Investment) of training is often considered difficult and costly to define and capture.
This TMA World has developed a process that captures the positive impact of training, to ensure your organization achieves a return on investment.
The document discusses performance management and performance appraisal, including defining performance management, the purposes and processes of performance appraisal, methods for conducting performance appraisals, and common problems that can arise with performance management systems such as bias, manipulation, and creating anxiety for employees. Performance management aims to ensure employees meet organizational goals through ongoing feedback, while performance appraisal evaluates past performance for administrative purposes.
Performance management is an ongoing process that aligns employee performance with business goals. It has four key steps: defining goals, planning performance, coaching performance, and reviewing performance. Effective performance management provides employees with direction, benchmarks progress, and builds confidence. Regular feedback is important to motivate employees and address any issues. Formal annual reviews measure what employees have achieved against their goals and assess their behavior and development needs. The goal is to both develop and motivate high performers, as well as address issues with poor performers.
The document provides an in-depth analysis of coaching and mentoring. It defines coaching and mentoring, outlines their key differences, and examines how organizations incorporate them. Coaching focuses on short-term tasks while mentoring emphasizes long-term development. Several companies are discussed that employ coaching and mentoring programs, including Coca-Cola, Deutsche Bank, Barclays Wealth, Tesco and Saint-Gobain. Surveys show benefits include retention and personal development, while challenges include poor matching and lack of support.
The document discusses competencies, including understanding competencies, why competencies are important, and developing a competency model. It defines competencies as underlying characteristics that are causally related to superior job performance. Developing a competency model involves identifying the competencies required for effective performance, defining behaviors associated with each competency, and applying the model to human resource systems like staffing, learning, performance management and rewarding. Linking competencies to these systems can help align them with business strategy and goals.

Both provide benefits such as increased skills, promotions, and satisfaction for both parties. Effective coaching and mentoring require setting goals, providing feedback, and overcoming obstacles through open communication and planning.

Employability refers to having skills and attributes that make individuals likely to gain employment and be successful in their careers. Employability skills include personal responsibility, decision-making, communication, leadership, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. Managers play an important role in motivating employees by setting objectives, organizing work, communicating, establishing targets, and developing people's skills and careers.

RAMS 2013 Calculating roi when implementing a dfr program by mike silverman
Presentation given at RAMS 2013
Three-phase inverters are physically large, complex and expensive elements of major solar power generation systems. The inverter converts DC power created by the photovoltaic (PV) panels to AC power suitable for adding to the power grid.
The inverters’ reliability testing is a complex task and relies on reliability block diagrams (RBD), vendor and field data, plus selecting accelerated life tests (ALT) based on critical elements of the product.
This paper illustrates a case study that developed an RBD, used field and vendor data, and includes the design and use of two ALTs. The result is a working framework or model that provides a reasonable estimate of the expected lifetime performance of the inverter. While any project similar to this, is always a work in progress, the examination of the decisions and inputs for the model proves valuable for the continued improvement of the model and resulting life predictions. This project provides an excellent real life example of reliability estimation having a multitude of constraints including: sample size, test duration, and field data, thus having to rely on all sources of available data starting from field and vendor data to theoretical component reliability calculations, ALT plan execution, failure analysis, and finally summarizing the results using RBD to estimate product expected lifetime. At the time of writing this paper, based on completion of system level ALT, an availability of 99.97% is valid over a 10 year period according to southern Ontario weather as the main installation base. This will be revisited once subsystem ALT is completed.

Employability refers to having skills and attributes that make individuals likely to gain employment and be successful in their careers. Employability skills include personal responsibility, decision-making, communication, leadership, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. Managers play an important role in motivating employees by setting objectives, organizing work, communicating, establishing targets, and developing people's skills and careers.

RAMS 2013 Calculating roi when implementing a dfr program by mike silvermanAccendo Reliability
Presentation given at RAMS 2013
Three-phase inverters are physically large, complex and expensive elements of major solar power generation systems. The inverter converts DC power created by the photovoltaic (PV) panels to AC power suitable for adding to the power grid.
The inverters’ reliability testing is a complex task and relies on reliability block diagrams (RBD), vendor and field data, plus selecting accelerated life tests (ALT) based on critical elements of the product.
This paper illustrates a case study that developed an RBD, used field and vendor data, and includes the design and use of two ALTs. The result is a working framework or model that provides a reasonable estimate of the expected lifetime performance of the inverter. While any project similar to this, is always a work in progress, the examination of the decisions and inputs for the model proves valuable for the continued improvement of the model and resulting life predictions. This project provides an excellent real life example of reliability estimation having a multitude of constraints including: sample size, test duration, and field data, thus having to rely on all sources of available data starting from field and vendor data to theoretical component reliability calculations, ALT plan execution, failure analysis, and finally summarizing the results using RBD to estimate product expected lifetime. At the time of writing this paper, based on completion of system level ALT, an availability of 99.97% is valid over a 10 year period according to southern Ontario weather as the main installation base. This will be revisited once subsystem ALT is completed.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:

Video traffic on the Internet is constantly growing; networked multimedia applications consume a predominant share of the available Internet bandwidth. A major technical breakthrough and enabler in multimedia systems research and of industrial networked multimedia services certainly was the HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technique. This resulted in the standardization of MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) which, together with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), is widely used for multimedia delivery in today’s networks. Existing challenges in multimedia systems research deal with the trade-off between (i) the ever-increasing content complexity, (ii) various requirements with respect to time (most importantly, latency), and (iii) quality of experience (QoE). Optimizing towards one aspect usually negatively impacts at least one of the other two aspects if not both. This situation sets the stage for our research work in the ATHENA Christian Doppler (CD) Laboratory (Adaptive Streaming over HTTP and Emerging Networked Multimedia Services; https://athena.itec.aau.at/), jointly funded by public sources and industry. In this talk, we will present selected novel approaches and research results of the first year of the ATHENA CD Lab’s operation. We will highlight HAS-related research on (i) multimedia content provisioning (machine learning for video encoding); (ii) multimedia content delivery (support of edge processing and virtualized network functions for video networking); (iii) multimedia content consumption and end-to-end aspects (player-triggered segment retransmissions to improve video playout quality); and (iv) novel QoE investigations (adaptive point cloud streaming). We will also put the work into the context of international multimedia systems research.
