What will we discuss?
Goals for this session
Provide guidance on developing chapter programs aligned to Competency Model and SHRM BoCKTM
Engineer your chapter programs to
Align to Competency Model
Align with SHRM BoCKTM
Count for SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP recertification credit
Practice! Practice! Practice!
NANCY: Thank you, Dorothy, for the kind introduction! Here’s what we’ll be covering in today’s session. We hope to take some of the mystery out of planning and connecting your chapter programs to the Competency Model and the BoCK so you can offer recertification credits with your programs. We’ll also talk about becoming a preferred provider, and offer some opportunities to practice analyzing existing programs to make those connections and creating new programs to engineer the connections right from the start!
Practice makes perfect, so most of this session, you will be doing the work – practicing by using a few exercises we hope you will find fun, helpful and informative!

6. Your Role as Recertification Provider
Your go-to source: The Recertification Provider Guide
Benefit:
Award PDCs without prior approval from SHRM for a 2-year period
Must meet qualifications, apply, be accepted, follow guidelines
Be familiar with what “counts”
SHRM BoCK greatly expands the scope of professional development activities that will qualify for recertification credit
SHRM BoCK links to competencies so topics that align with competencies, but are not standard HR topics can be used in programs.
E.g.: Leadership program, courses in statistics, business discipline courses
Extemporaneous comments by JIM
-There are resources available
-The benefit of being a recertification provider is based upon alignment with the SHRM BoCK and the SHRM Competency Model.

7. How do you marry this all together to make soup?
Let’s hear from you! Let the workshop begin!
Activity 1: Who has already engineered a program? SHARE!
Table activity to reverse engineer programs offered by chapters represented at your table
Activity 2: Brainstorm NEW Program ideas
What career level is targeted for program?
On which BoCK functional area is the program focused?
What BoCK Key Behaviors are targeted?
Which competency is covered?
Activity 3: Practice engineering NEW ideas into programs
Everything from Activity 2 PLUS
Write the learning objectives
Write a pithy yet intriguing description
Assign time, credits, speaker, etc.
THIS SLIDE HAS AUTOMATIC ANIMATION.
NANCY: I hope you’re ready to work with us now to become familiar with the process we use to help demystify linking the content of programs to the BoCK and the Competency Model.
We’ll be working together collaboratively in this “workshop” portion of the session. We will ask you to participate in 3 activities. The first one focuses on programs you have already held at your chapter or conference meetings. We’ll ask you to talk amongst yourselves at your tables first to share information about some of the programs you’ve done, whether you linked them to the BoCK, offered credit and identified the competency or competencies covered by the program. Then we’ll ask you to share a few of your team’s “favorites” with the group. The goal is to help you embrace the successes you’ve already had in this area, and to leverage the expertise at your own tables to help untangle some of the stickier issues in program development you may have encountered this first year of designing programs that link to the BoCK and the Competency Model.
Activity 2 will be an opportunity for you to brainstorm new ideas, and we’ve provided you with multiple copies of a template in the middle of your tables. We wanted to give you a framework for quickly and easily capturing all the details you’ll need to share with potential participants AND provide to SHRM with the program details to support your Preferred Provider Status.
Activity 3 builds on Activity 2, and in this activity, we again encourage you to have your team mates help you write the program descriptions and provide what we call the rest of the Nitty Gritty Details for your new program. We also want to make the offer right here and now to collect all your new ideas, type them up and upload them to the VLRC. Would you like us to do that?

8. Let’s take a walk--Activity 1
Your Mission: Reverse Engineer an existing program to link to Model and SHRM BoCK
Think about a program you held at a chapter meeting this year
Use the sticky notes on your table
Record this information on the sticky note
General topic
Target audience
Functional Area from BoCK
Key Behaviors from BoCK
Behavioral Competency from Competency Model
SHARE with your table then with the whole group!
Designate one person to place the sticky notes on the flip chart
ANIMATION FOR THIS SLIDE OCCURS BY CLICKING EACH
NANCY: We want to leverage the knowledge in the room by asking you first to accept this mission: Reverse engineer an existing program
Things to think about to get you started: in this first year of offering programs for certified professionals to use for recertification credit:
Did you create programs from scratch and then find a speaker?
Did you find a speaker and then match their presentation to the BoCK?
Do you offer short programs or long programs?
Did you work with a committee or did the program chair handle the linking to the BoCK and competency model?
Think of a program that was very well-received by the audience. Does everyone have a program in mind?
Now we’ll take a few minutes to reverse engineer you existing program.
Work individually for 5 minutes
Share with your group for 5 minutes
Report out to larger group
INSTRUCTIONS: We realize there may be multiple programs because many chapters are represented at table
Use one Sticky Note for each program
Record the general topic covered in the program and the level of program you’re targeting: Everyone or Advanced only?
What Domain from the BoCK is covered? Is the program a People, Organization, Workplace or Strategy program?
Does the activity cross multiple areas?
Using SHRM BoCK document on your tables, pages 18-38, which key behaviors are addressed by the program(s)?
Refer to the competency model details at the beginning of the BoCK document (pages 7-15), what behavioral competency or competencies (proficiency standards) are covered by the program?
Report Out
Follow up questions.
What did you find simple about this activity?
What was the most challenging part of this activity?
How might you be able to use this activity with your programming committee to link the competencies to the BoCK in order to offer recertification credit?
How many of you identified multiple areas of the BoCK or multiple Competencies covered by your programs?
Did this surprise you?
Why or Why not?
Now we’ll have an activity to create new programs that identify multiple competencies and BoCK categories! Get ready to have some fun!

9. Pick up the pace to Jogging—Activity 2
Develop a new program! Be Creative!
Develop a program that meets a development need in your chapter—[record this is your program topic]
Choose a program level: focus on ALL HR professionals or ADVANCED HR professionals
From the SHRM BoCK:
Choose a functional area or areas your program will include
Choose one or more Responsibility Statements covered in your program
Identify the competency or competencies addressed in your program
Write a title for your program – use template provided
SHARE!
ANIMATION OCCURS WITH CLICK OF MOUSE. NOTE THAT FOR SOME BIZARRE REASON YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE FIRST BULLET TWICE.
Next refer to pages 7 – 15 of the SHRM BoCK that define the 8 behavioral competencies, sub competencies and key behaviors
Template for new programs: We hand this out. See attachment
Name of program:
Learning Objective:
Target audience: (early-career, mid-career, senior or executive)
Program description: BoCK Connection: Insert the functional area(s) covered in the program
Competency Model Connection:
Don’t forget to include Pre-Approved Program logo. Apply for it now before the end of the year if you haven’t already done so.

10. Sprinting: The Most Difficult of Them All
Activity 3: Group activity
Using the information from the previous activity:
Write a brief description for your program based on the program title – use template provided
Write learning objectives
Include all information from Activity 2 on the template provided
Decide the length of the program, hours/minutes/days?
Determine how many PDCs will be awarded
If you have a presenter in mind, make a note of it
We will ask for volunteers from each table to SHARE new ideas with the group
ANIMATION OCCURS BY CLICKING MOUSE AND EACH BULLET WILL APPEAR. THIS ONE WORKS CORRECTLY. WHATEVER.
Activity: Your Mission
QUESTION AT END: Would you like us to collect these ideas and share them on the VLRC?
