Developing a Performance Strategy

Performance is a summary term used to describe a set of behaviors and the outcome(s) those behaviors are intended to produce.To properly develop human capital assets and drive performance, organizations must clearly understand the behaviors and processes that are contributing to or impede those objectives and outcomes. Unfortunately most organizations’ performance management efforts (e.g., training programs) are mostly guesswork and happenstance. And far too often the unmanaged efforts don’t produce the desired results.

The Performance Strategy process is a managed methodology for helping organizations understand where to focus their human capital development and performance improvement energies. It allows organizations to prioritize their human capital development budgets by clearly identifying where they will get the most bang for their buck. We do this through four phases —

  1. Defining business objectives, and identifying what performance outcomes matter
  2. Documenting current processes that drive those critical outcomes (e.g., SIPOC process mapping and documentation)
  3. Collecting data from top performers to determine what they are doing differently than the rest of the organization
  4. Developing clear and actionable human capital strategies (e.g., recruitment, training, coaching) to bring the rest of the organization up to the top performers level

What You Will Learn

By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of —

  • The major steps in the Performance Strategy development process
  • The kinds of data that feed into a Performance Strategy
  • The kinds of actionable recommendations that are included in a Performance Strategy
