Strategic Performance Improvement and Evaluation Program (SPIE)
Members of SPIE are specialists in performance improvement and evaluation focused on both the macro and micro level functioning of organizations. Whether the organization's strategic goals require coordination and collaboration with other organizations or increased alignment of internal goals and strategies, SPIE can help analyze the processes and make recommendations for improvement.
SPIEs also have subject matter expertise in behavioral health, mental health, health disparities, gerontology, adult learning, child development, and industrial/organizational psychology.
Using the President's Management Agenda (PMA) as a guide, SPIE has worked with Federal government organizations to align organizational goals with division/branch goals and individual development plans (IDPs). By ensuring the strategic alignment of workforce development opportunities and the efficient use of training resources SPIE helps organizations maximize performance of their human capital.
Specifically, the instructional systems design approach is used by SPIE to analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate training. Job task analyses, organizational needs analyses, gap analyses, and training needs analyses are used to target training to the specific needs and strategic goals of the organization. We frequently employ technology feasibility studies and strategic communication plans to roll out new programs or facilitate the use of evaluation results to improve program implementation and business outcomes, and to improve organizational systems. In addition, SPIE works with organizations to build internal evaluation capacity to evaluate human capital programs on concerns ranging from program satisfaction to return on investment (ROI).
We use observations, interviews, focus groups, and surveys as techniques to collect data. SPIE staff members have expertise in database design and development, whether the methodology requires paper-based data collection or online tools and techniques. SPIE customizes solutions to meet client requirements.
