We believe that you cannot transform organizations by managing performance – but you can equip managers to inspire and motivate the outcomes you need. By refocusing leaders on effective goal setting, meaningful feedback, and structured employee development we help organizations drive the change they require.
Performance Management in most organizations is underperforming.
Employees hate it.
Managers hate it.
And it doesn’t have an impact on overall performance.
Rather it has become a bureaucratic exercise which exists only to serve itself.
We believe that you cannot manage performance – but you can equip managers to inspire and motivate it.
We will work with you to ditch the paperwork and refocus leaders on effective goal setting, regular and meaningful feedback, and structured employee development and progression conversations.
Ditching the Paperwork: The biggest problem with traditional performance management processes is that they have replaced the meaningful, day-to-day leadership of individuals with meaningless, infrequent administration. We have extensive experience in implementing technology-lite systems which support continuous, structured performance conversations between managers and their people.
Effective Goal Setting: Managers typically spend much less time setting goals than they do reviewing them. We can work with you to design and implement a Performance Motivation process which helps managers spend the right amount of time setting well thought through, measurable goals which inspire high performance and support the development of teams and individuals.
Feedback ... to Feed Forward: Research has shown that feedback has very little impact on performance. In fact, over one-third of the time it has a negative impact. We have proven expertise in helping managers make the transition from backwards-looking feedback to future-focused, actionable “Feed Forward”.
