1) Peter Leather is an independent consultant specializing in developing IT organizational capabilities. He has over 25 years of experience working with major organizations and has been using SFIA since 2003.
2) When implementing SFIA in learning and development, organizations should focus on priorities and measurable results. They should also avoid analysis paralysis when developing role profiles and engage managers.
3) Change management is critical for SFIA implementation affecting skills and behaviors. Organizations should consider all phases of change for employees and develop line managers who are key but may lack people skills.

“Using Simulations to Train Future Project Leaders at NASA” By Lawrence Suda-...SeriousGamesAssoc
Lawrence Suda speaks about “Using Simulations to Train Future Project Leaders at NASA” at Serious Play Conference 2012
ABSTRACT:
The essential message of this presentation is about training future project managers at NASA and about project team behavior: how the simulation technology behaves, how people behave and how the simulation and people behave, and sometimes misbehave, together.
Ultimately the real test of the people on the project is not so much what they know; it’s what they do with their knowledge. Making a decision is not the same as implementing it. Knowledge, insight and project wisdom are needed to fully execute a successful project.

In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

10. SFIA Skills assessments
Start with the end in mind
q What quality of assessment do you need?
q What do you consider fit for purpose?
q Will you need to calibrate and / or moderate the assessments?
Are you assessing fit for role, fit for
future or current stock of skills
q Is SFIA all you want to assess?
q Incremental assessments
q Combine rigorous assessments with a free format approach
Be led by requirements and process
not by the tools and databases
q Be wary of silver bullets
q Assessment is a conversation not a score

However…
q IT line managers are typically selected for their technical
competency, not for their people skills
q IT line managers do not feel prepared for their management
duties
And then …
q Introducing SFIA and upgrading your workplace L&D
brings increased expectations on managers
So … provide the time, space and tools to develop your line
managers’ skills
