AMCC - Performance-Based Evaluation

Situation

AMCC is a market leader in the design and manufacture of high speed ICs for image and video processing. With facilities worldwide and a highly competitive market, they recently embarked on a far reaching Culture Change program to position themselves for new growth.

Culture Change workshops covered topics ranging from accountability to change management, hiring and interviewing, project management, goal setting, and much more. With a significant investment in time and resources on the line, AMCC needed to measure the effectiveness of the program to help keep it on track.

Our Evaluation Strategy

We implemented our three-part evaluation strategy for each of the four workshops in AMCC's first offsite meetings: pre-workshop attitudinal survey, post-workshop attitudinal and content surveys, and a 30-day performance and behavior follow-up.

We analyzed the data to look for pre/post attitudinal shifts, post-workshop content mastery, and the extent to which the hoped-for behaviors were used by the workshop participants. Statistical analysis involved both mean responses and measures of response variability.
