ABSTRACT

While Chapter 7 focused on transforming an organization from one that offers

traditional training solutions to one that offers performance improvement

solutions to address organizational problems and opportunities, this chapter

focuses on transforming an individual from a traditional trainer (or other

related role) into a HPI practitioner. This chapter discusses the reasons why

you might consider this expansion of the traditional trainer role. It also

shares true stories of the transitions that others have made from previous

careers to HPI. The chapter then outlines a three-step process for making the

transformation.
