About the Book

Performance analysis is the "front end of the front end." When human resource professionals, trainers, consultants, and problem-solvers need to figure out to do, then they need this book. First Things Fast is the quick start you need to define solutions, involve colleagues, and build support for planning prior to action.

"Performance analysis has always sought to help organizations drive down cost and increase quality by assuring that the solutions recommended are, in fact, what is truly needed. The beauty of this book is that it recognizes the critical nature of speed in doing performance analysis work, without sacrificing the other measures.

Performance analysis is at the center of a training industry driving toward a fundamental transformation. First Things Fast: A Handbook for Performance Analysis is your road map."
