Live Webinar
2 Successive Fridays – August 5th & 12th , 2011 – 9:00 am to 11:00 am EDT
Presented by: The Gabriel Institute
Duration: Total of 4 Hours 4 Category C PDU Free

NOTE: This registration is for 2 consecutive Fridays – The instructional segment is delivered in four modules, each one contact hour, given in webinar format in two, two-hour sessions. This course is approved for four hours of HRCI recertification credit

TGI Role-Based Assessmentâ„¢ is a completely new online behavioral assessment for hiring, workforce planning, coaching, and team-building. Although this session is often directed towards HR Professionals, Project Managers need to be able to create strong teams. Many teams are strongly role based and a solid understanding of RBA will assist in choosing and developing agile team members.

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph, but a team is greater than the sum of its parts. RBA identifies behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities: the ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams. With RBA, you can reliably hire ‘the best of the best’, identify and resolve team performance problems, and build a strong, resilient human infrastructure

Organizations of every type and size experience the cost and pain of human performance failings, and are highly vulnerable to the ‘collateral damage’ that results from hiring the wrong people. TGI Role-Based Assessmentâ„¢ (RBA) makes it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

Role-Based Assessment was designed from its very beginnings to measure and predict the quality of a person’s team interaction.

RBA can greatly reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting, while delivering significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team.

RBA is also highly effective in analyzing and solving team performance problems.

This certification course is a comprehensive overview of RBA and CHI methods. It prepares learners to provide basic support to users of Role-Based Assessment, and to apply for Certification. Certification requires passing a written examination and meeting TGI’s modest standards for ongoing participation.

Course content includes:

  • Participant’s own Role-Based Assessment at no additional cost
  • Four contact hours of training, including all materials
  • Readings to be completed during course attendance
  • Brief written certification examination to measure comprehension of course materials and applications

During this Webcast Chip Bell and John Patterson, customer service industry veterans, analyze this revolution in customer relationships and provide a tested formula for restoring balance transforming today’s demanding customers into eager partners.

They will use real-world examples to provide powerful ways to bring harmony to a relationship that was out of whack even before the Internet revolution started.

What You Will Learn:

  • Explores the fundamental shift in the balance of power between customers and service providers that has been fueled by the Internet
  • Provides a tested formula for restoring balance to customer relationships
  • Offers real-world stories and practical examples
