Live Webinar – 2 Successive Fridays
October 7th & 14th , 2011 – 9:00 am to 11:00 am EDT

If you haven’t already taken this opportunity -take it! This is a MUST TAKE opportunity if you are setting up your own teams this provides a terrific framework to help you understand the strengths of your potential team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful. I took this session when it was offered in August and was very impressed with the usefulness of the material and the “payoff” it provided! For those of you setting up agile teams with strong roles – This helps you understand the strengths of your team and set up the best matches to make your projects even more successful! – Edmonton PM

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 also 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
