OVERVIEW


Understanding & Developing Individual, Team and Business Performance will increase employee engagement, focus, clarity and quality of your products and services. Of course performance will depend on many variables both to do with the individuals as well as the organisational factors. Therefore by tackling performance in a vacuum, this rarely provides a sustainable solution.

Business performance will always depend on your top-performing people. So, developing and maintaining the motivation of individuals and teams are two key issues that every company or organisation should address.

In the Investors in Learning Driving Success Model - Performance sits in the Impact Element. Of course, we are all in business or life to see results or we do things to have a certain impact. The Impact Element in the model includes:

  • Performance
  • Awareness
  • Motivation
  • Learning Conversations


This is because we cannot look at performance in isolation. Performance is affected by so many variables. We will work with you to drive your performance, whilst also ensuring that there is a continual raising and maintenance of Awareness of the factors that drive performance; Motivation to stay engaged and focused on your responsibilities, and to apply your strengths; and the skills to be engaged with a Learning Conversation and to drive that ethos, in order to drive sustainable peak performance.

Performance is a widely used, and we could say abused, word. Some people see the term ‘Performance Management’ as negative and threatening as it can be associated with bad memories or experiences. The word Performance can often be linked to something that is painful and takes a lot of effort. Of course we can always make a special effort and outperform our average performance, however that is a short-term approach, and it will not last. The fact is we all need to perform, in one way or another, however we are interested in helping you to find your sustainable peak performance.

We have created this programme to help you to reflect on what peak performance means for you in yourself, your team or your organisation and to develop sustainable strategies which will enable you to maintain your performance over the long term, even as changes happen and unexpected events interrupt Business as Usual.

We will work with you to analyse the key performance dimensions of your business and show you how to target support in those areas. By using innovative practices aligned to your company’s needs, we can help you to significantly improve the performance and efficiency of your teams and individual employees.

Research and experience show that if there are the wrong performance appraisal systems in place which do not honour or represent the needs of the specific client or employee group, then people will become resentful and often will make up their own system or find ways in which to bypass the wider company system. The wrong appraisal or measuring systems can disempower and create the opposite effect that a system is trying to achieve.

Team trust is at the heart of true collaboration, it’s a driving force for productivity, growth and teamwork; it increases commitment and improves communication.
