And I started another business and then in 2004 I went solo doing basically the same kinds of things that I had been doing throughout my career, which is centered on performance-based curriculum architecture design using a facilitated group process, bringing together master performers and other subject matter experts and developing what later became known as Learning paths or Training and Development paths that were performance oriented. I then left Motorola and joined Ray Svenson’s small consulting firm. And so I was really kind of brought up, if you will, with my radio-TV-film degree, coming in the side door to training and development and got this performance orientation where we did our analysis using a derivative of a derivative of a Rummler methodology, as I was told back in those days, before I really knew what any of that meant.Īfter eighteen months I joined Motorola and I got to work with Geary Rummler on a couple of dozen projects over the eighteen months I was there. I joined the local chapter in Detroit, 95 miles away from Saginaw, of NSPI-now ISPI-and I went to the conference the next April in 1980. I really kind of got this performance orientation. Why did you send this to me?”īut I was so enthused about all this, so I got oriented to Rummler and Gilbert and Mager and then soon thereafter, the work of Joe Harless. I was so excited about that I bought four copies, sent them out to my best friends from college who mailed me back and said, “What the heck is that all about? That’s crazy.
I was also given a Bob Mager book to read and I went home and read that the first night.
This was a newsletter of theirs from 1970. On Day 1 I was shown the articles of his and Gilbert’s about “guidance.” So, the early name for “job aids” and performance support and all that. The ten-person department that I joined had Geary Rummler’s brother-in-law employed so I immediately was indoctrinated into a performance orientation ala the now late Geary Rummler. My first job out of college was at a small training and development organization for Wix Lumber up in Saginaw, Michigan.

Guy Wallace (GW): A fortunate series of lucky things happened to me. Why don’t you start Guy by giving us a bit around your L&D journey. And that’s a perfect lead-in to our amazing person we have with us today, a hero of mine, a real visionary in my opinion, a pioneer in our industry-always has pushed the envelope-a real disrupter, which are my favorite kind. Bob Mosher (BM): This particular series is one of my favorites, Strategy Matters.
