8. KNOWLEDGE & SKILL GAP CAUSES
 Knowledge & Skill causes can be identified
wherever performance issues are related to:
 Employees/volunteers not knowing HOW TO
achieve a goal, or any aspect of a goal
 Identified through ASKING your employees, team,
etc.
 Three Indicators of Knowledge & Skill
Causes
 Communication Issues
 Procedure Issues
 Experience Issues
8

9. KNOWLEDGE & SKILL GAPS
 Stuck on an Escalator video clip
 http://youtu.be/oXCuGvsThEw
After watching the video discuss & share in your chat
box…
• What knowledge and skill gaps were
displayed by the people in the video?
• What knowledge and skill gaps have you
seen with YOUR staff?
9

10. KNOWLEDGE & SKILL SOLUTIONS
(CLARK & ESTES, 2008, P.63)
Four types of Knowledge & Skill solutions and when to use each type:
1. Not using relevant past experience
that will achieve goals?
Information
2. Not enough relevant past experience
but related expertise?
Job Aids
3. No experience or related expertise
but routine procedure?
Training
4. Not prepared to anticipate or solve a
novel future challenge?
Education
10

11. JOB-AIDS
 Job-aids are those checklists, reminders, and
notes you leave for employees to use in the
course of their work
 Take a few minutes to review some of the
example job-aids (included as handouts
for this webinar.)
Use the Chat box to answer the following questions:
What kind of job-aids does your agency use?
Do your job-aids tell employees both WHAT to
do and HOW to do the job tasks? 11

12. TRAINING CHALLENGES
 Poorly designed or delivered training can make
people perform WORSE after a training than
before training
 We often use “experts” to train our staff-
meaning you have your “best” part time
employee assist in the training of new
employees
 Problem: “experts” have automatic knowledge they
forget to share with new employees
 80-90% of what we know is automatic/unconscious
 Experts focus on the 10-20% that is conscious when
training new staff 12

13. TRAINING SOLUTIONS
 When training, structure
and sequence job
knowledge as the job is
performed
 The first step in
accomplishing a job goal
should be the first thing
trainees learn, the second
step, should be the second
thing learned…etc, etc
13

14. TRAINING TIPS?
Chat Box Question:
List the most effective training
technique or tools you have used
in your trainings?

16. MOTIVATION GAPS
Active
Choice
Mental
Effort
Persistence
Increased
Performance
16

17.  Making a choice and initiating action to
pursue a goal
 Actively working toward a goal
 As opposed to procrastinating, avoiding,
arguing or delaying
 Not an intention to do something;
active choice is an active pursuit of a
goal
ACTIVE CHOICE
17

18.  Level of thinking involved in attaining a goal,
or accomplishing a task
 Routine assignments = low mental effort
(automaticity)
 New/Novel challenges = high mental effort
 Determined by level of confidence
 Overconfidence = invest little mental effort
 Under-confidence = persistence and choice
problems
MENTAL EFFORT
18

19.  Starting action, and continuing/sustaining
action until goal is attained
 Many employees are driven by multiple goals
and deadlines
 May start/stop multiple goals, and never
“finish”
PERSISTENCE
19

20. In your feedback box…
 When it comes to motivating your
employees, which of these Motivation Gap
Causes seem to cause you the most
challenge?
A. Active Choice
B. Mental Effort
C. Persistence
D. All of the above
20

21. 21

22. After watching the video discuss and
share in your chat box…
In what ways can you change behavior by
making the desired behavior “fun?”
INCREASING MOTIVATION –
THE FUN THEORY
 VW The Fun theory video clip: Piano-Stairs
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw
22

23.  Suggest reasons and values for
performance goals
 Interest value
 People will easily and quickly choose to do what
interests them the most
 Suggest connections between performance
goals and volunteer’s interests whenever
possible
 Skill value
 Most people do what they believe will challenge
them
 Moderate level of challenge found to be most
motivating
 Utility Value
 Focus on the benefits of finishing the task, not on
lack of interest in the task
INCREASING MOTIVATION

24. WHAT ELSE HAS WORKED FOR YOU?
(THINK BACK TO FEBRUARY’S WEBINAR WITH CHRIS CHAMBERLAIN)
What else has worked for you
when trying to motivate your
employees?
Share a few of your best ideas

26. ORGANIZATIONAL GAPS & MANAGEMENT
The role and function of
Municipal Managers
(Parks, Recreation,
Public Works, Public
Safety, etc.) requires an
understanding of the
complex relationships
and structures that make
up organizations.
Work Processes
Culture
Change
26

27. CHANGING WORK PROCESSES
 Redesigning work processes can lead to increases
in performance
 Must also accompany appropriate adjustments in
knowledge, skills, and motivation of employees
27

28. ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESSES
 Be aware that change in one division,
department, process may be causing
performance problems in another division,
department, or process
 When developing solutions to organizational
performance gaps related to processes, be
sure to examine the impact the solution has
based on systems approach
28

29. WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS A HAMMER…
29

30. MATERIAL RESOURCES
 Managers often overlook the design
and availability of material resources as
a potential cause of performance gaps
 To what extent is the availability and
design of material resources available
to employees causing poor
performance?
 Tools- (using a “shovel” instead of a
“rake?”)
 Equipment- (after school rec program with
none?)
 Supplies- (arts & crafts requirement with
no supplies?)
30

31. CULTURE AND PERFORMANCE
 “Culture is a powerful
force in performance
and a difficult
characteristic to identify
and influence” (p.108).
Organizational Culture
Individuals
Groups
Environment
31

32. WHAT’S YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE?
AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO...
(HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MGPWBKPJDTI)
In your chat box, how
would you describe the
culture of the
organization in the
video?
32

33. DOES ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE “WORK?”
 A quick example from
Amazon.com
 Clark & Estes suggest
that
 “the best evidence would
support the generalization
that nearly all available
organizational
development and change
processes fail 2 out of
every 3 times” (p.115) 45,044
Results!!!
33

34. FACTORS THAT SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL
CHANGE EFFORTS
1. Have a clear vision, goals, and ways to measure
progress
2. Align structures and processes of the organization
with goals
3. Communicate constantly and candidly to those
involved about plans and progress
34

35. FACTORS SUPPORTING CHANGE
4. Top management must be continually involved in
the improvement process
5. Provide adequate knowledge, skills, and
motivational support for everyone
