Performance Management for IT & Technical People Training Course
During the early dot-com boom, many businesses neglected real performance management, forcing busy tech managers to focus on tasks rather than essential behaviours. The same thing is happening with the tech and AI boom today, often creating siloed departments and misaligned incentives.
A New Kind of Performance Management Training for Technical People
Today, a breakthrough in-house workshop has emerged to transform the way IT and non-IT professionals collaborate. Developed by an organisational psychologist, this tailored program enhances communication, refines critical skills, and unifies teams around shared objectives. By dismantling silos and prioritising both technical delivery and interpersonal dynamics, participants learn how to streamline workflows, reduce tension, and create a truly seamless service. The result? Immediate, measurable improvements in productivity and cohesion that help your organisation thrive in a digital-first landscape.

Course Description
With the dot com boom, organisations were too busy to performance manage IT and technical people. The performance management task was left to the IT manager, who was often technically minded and had very little spare time for this crucial task. Rewards and bonuses were tied to task achievements with little linkage to behavioural guidelines.
So how do you pull in the reins of IT and technical people and get them to deliver important tasks without having to jump over mountains? Surely they should behave like other internal departments and deliver a seamless service. If you consider the key departments in most organisations, the IT Department is still a relative newcomer. There is no doubt the rapid influx of IT people brought a wave of breakthrough advancements to organisations, but in many cases this breakneck speed led to short-cuts in performance management.
Designed by an organisational psychologist, this is a breakthrough practical course to break open and level any IT and/or Technical silos in your organisation. This unique course helps unite participants behind the organisation’s objectives. The target audience is ideally a mix of IT and non IT people and helps flesh out the day to day difficulties that arise. You’ll notice an immediate workplace improvement as your IT and technical people meet the organisations expectations and objectives. Your non IT people get a better understanding too of how they “inadvertently” cause bottlenecks and tension.

A. Weekes

David is an excellent training facilitator. He took the time to adapt examples that we could really relate to. He is an EXCELLENT listener! And he is really good at picking apart what individuals say (in a good way) and applying the training to situations we bring forward. As someone who rarely feels comfortable speaking up in a situation like this, his approach was very much appreciated.
M Habjan

Lots of fun, made it easy to learn.

Very engaging trainer!! Rosie was a great facilitator especially in the virtual space. The content was easy to follow and prompted a lot of engagement and collaboration within the group.

Facilitation was excellent and the training was tailored specifically to our needs. We were looking for Customer Service training with a difference and the 3-step approach was really great – the mystery customer component in particular. Recommend this training to organisations who want to investigate and improve the customer’s experience.

After talking to a number of different providers to help develop our Graduate Program Preferred Training Network absolutely stood out from the competition. We were looking for a series of two-hour long modules designed specifically for us and Preferred have done a brilliant job of delivering that. Their proposals hit the mark every time and we will absolutely be looking to use them again in the future.

Preferred Training Networks has worked very closely with our organisation to provide relevant and targeted training for our diverse workforce in a variety of areas. Not only do the trainers deliver engaging and interactive sessions, the communication and follow-up are always exceptional.
K Aldridge
Learning and Development Advisor, Brimbank City Council
Buying in training is often like buying clothes on line. They often don’t fit or suit you. You are left feeling disappointed. I can honestly say that this has never been the case with PT. Each time we require their assistance they are able to customise sessions to meet our exact needs. Their facilitators link with us to ensure learning and development for the organisation does not end with the training day. Together we can then achieve maximum return on investment.
D Baxter-Tomkins
HR Manager, Moree Plains Shire Council
The Preftrain Leadership Workshops gave our teams the opportunity to learn techniques and tools to better lead, engage and support their teams. The flexibility to adapt the content to suit our needs and run the sessions in-house was very welcomed. The content was well structured and the trainer facilitated in an engaging and interactive manner, helping to embed the key takeaways of the session.
A Fontaine L&D Consultant
People and Culture, NEC Australia
Preferred Training Networks have been invaluable to our organisation in customising professional integrity and communications courses for us. Your trainers are very experienced and can handle sessions with individuals from any level of the organisation. Thank you for your help and we look forward to working with you again this financial year.
