The GURU - SISHYA Approach

Prof. Kirkpatrick and Dr. Palan are working on this ancient learning model which has its roots in India. This ancient Indian system imparts learning through what may be seen as a one-on-one master-student relationship. In today's terms it is a form of enlightened mentoring and counselling approach.

PALAN'S Performance Management Model

SMR views training as one of the impact factors affecting performance, as discussed in Dr. Palan's book: "Performance Management & Measurement: The Asian Context". According to the model, performance management depends on:

• developing a strategy,
• planning for performance,
• fixing accountability, and
• measuring performance
• Evaluating Training

The role of training is integral to performance management to ensure that an organisation has all the knowledge and skills required for meeting its performance goals.

HRDPower™ Competency Model

This model is used extensively in HRDPower™, our Human Resources Development software. The underlying principle is that training can be addressed to needs identified as 'competency gaps,' i.e., the gaps between Required Competency Levels (related to a position) and Current Competency Levels (related to a job-holder).

This model is used in our Accredited Competency Professional (ACP).
