Peak Performance

Where does the chief learning officer come into all this? Well, knowledge is the grease that lubes the performance wheel, so clearly the CLO can’t be removed from the performance process. I invite you to check out the new magazine, and see how Workforce Performance Solutions and Chief Learning Officer will run independently along sometimes-parallel tracks to help power the greater engine of change in your organization.

We’re starting the welcome wagon for Workforce Performance Solutions this month by presenting three performance-themed articles in this issue of CLO, “Creating a High-Performance Workforce,” “Engaging Employees to Impact Performance” and “Improving Business Performance Through E-Learning.” Since Workforce Performance and CLO have distinct, individual themes, customized needs and, especially, unique readerships, you won’t see this level of editorial convergence again, but it seems a logical way to introduce the new sibling to you.

I’m happy to invite you to join us as we bring together the authors of this issue’s performance articles for a CLO e-seminar on Wednesday, March 2. You can register now for that e-seminar, “Workforce Performance Solutions: Engaging Employees to Increase Productivity,” at www.cloevents.com/eseminars.

I hope you will take a moment and check out Workforce Performance Solutions at www.wpsmag.com to get a better sense of what lies ahead. All industry research shows that managing performance will be a key business driver in the 21st century. Now’s a good time to get in on the ground floor.
