Censeo to Present Two Workshops at 36th
Annual SPBT Conference
Jim Higgins to lead sessions on test
authoring and assessment/development.
June 11, 2007
HOLLYWOOD, FL – Censeo Corporation has been chosen
to present two workshops at the 36th Annual Society of Pharmaceutical
and Biotech Trainers (SPBT) 2007 Conference being held June
18-21 at the Westin Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, Florida.
As part of the Curriculum Design and Delivery track, Censeo
Vice President/Co-founder Jim Higgins will lead a session
titled “Increasing the Quality of Your Knowledge Tests:
A Practical ‘Short Course’ for Test Authors,” with co-presenters
Michelle O’Connor of CMR Institute and Mike Capaldi of Sanofi-Aventis.
“You’d be hard-pressed to find an industry that tests
its workforce more than the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Since testing is so commonplace, you might assume that the
quality of tests being delivered is high, but this is often
not the case,” commented Mr. Higgins. “During the
test authoring session, Michelle O’Connor will share her expertise
in curriculum design and how it relates to assessment. Mike
Capaldi will share several of the challenges Sanofi-Aventis
faced in the test development process, and how they are actively
improving the process today.”
Mr. Higgins will also present “Creating a Comprehensive
Assessment and Development Program: Demystifying the Process,” as part of the Director/Senior Executive track.
“During this session, I will outline a practical, best-practice
approach to creating a comprehensive assessment program, from
inception through implementation and follow-up," stated
Mr. Higgins. “From an employee’s point of view, a sound
assessment process ensures that their development is focused
on the things that matter most to them – things that will
help them do their jobs better and faster, possibly opening
the door to greater rewards and faster advancement. From an
organization’s perspective, a more strategic approach means
cost savings and productivity gains,” he explained.
Censeo will also be exhibiting at SPBT 2007 and can be found
in booth #509 on the show floor.
