Abstract:

The field of OBM has done a tremendous job of documenting effective evidence-based procedures and techniques to improve performance at work. However, we do not always make the connection between our OBM techniques and what has been known since the early days of our science about how to reduce the likelihood of counter-control or strong negative reactions to behavior change techniques. In this presentation, Dr. Austin will describe a few areas of traditional OBM where the approach in implementation produces differential outcomes. Unfortunately, there is there are little data there are a few data to support these claims but sometimes experience must be our guide. Dr. Austin will discuss approaches to setting clear expectations, to having difficult conversations, delivering and receiving feedback, and delivering reinforcement that can help leaders build rapport and create behavior change more rapidly.

Instruction Level: Basic
Target Audience:

BCBA/BCBA-D

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) define OBM; (2) List 5 steps to use in solving performance problems; (3) Describe how we can reduce counter-control when using OBM interventions
