:: Workshop on Use of Leadership Forecast Series for Development To Be Held June 12

Hogan Assessment Systems will offer a specialized workshop on June 12 on how to use the Leadership Forecast Series to build an individual development plan that can serve as the foundation for a coaching engagement. The "Hogan Advanced Workshop: Using the Leadership Forecast Series for Development" will be held at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Leadership Forecast Series consists of four reports generated from three inventories: Hogan Personality Inventory; Hogan Development Survey; and Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory. To attend the advanced workshop, participants must have completed the Hogan Assessment Certification Workshop as a prerequisite.

During the advanced workshop, participants will evaluate a high-potential leader with some development challenges - based on a real-life case from the company archives - and prepare a detailed coaching plan. The workshop revolves around understanding the Hogan Performance Model, which is used to integrate assessment data from a variety of sources.

:: APA Extends HAS Authority to Offer Continuing Education Credit

The American Psychological Association has granted approval to Hogan Assessment Systems to offer Continuing Education credits for another five years. The April action by the APA Continuing Education Committee, which granted Hogan a five-year full approval, is a continuation of a previous approval awarded to Hogan Assessment Systems that ran from 2000 to 2007.

The APA states that its Sponsor Approval System provides organizations that offer continuing education to psychologists "an opportunity to earn the APA sponsor approval status that is given to those organizations that can demonstrate a commitment to the highest level of quality in the CE programs they offer to psychologists." APA credit can be earned by participants who attend Hogan's assessment certification workshops.

:: To Learn About Organizational Effectiveness, Study Organizations, e.g., Toyota

What can one learn from Toyota, considered by many as the best run organization in the world? In a talk he gave in Shanghai in March, Robert Hogan, president of Hogan Assessment Systems, offered nine themes that characterize the Toyota model - themes which he says can serve as provisional general rules for organizational effectiveness. Hogan says organizational effectiveness should be approached empirically - "we should study effective organizations to see what is distinctive about them." To read his observations, click here.
