Performance Management for productivity and performance

Team Learning is learning beyond data driven insight and survey results. It is the deep understanding of what works and doesn’t, and why something should work and shouldn’t. Team Learning requires a culture of sharing, transparency, and intent to excel. 

What cannot be measured cannot be improved. Without performance management in place, the intent to excel can never be gauged, especially for organizations that strive for transparency, and scientific temperament.

Organizations struggle in performance management either due to poor supervisory skills, lack of tracking and monitoring, lack of baseline data, or over emphasis on intuition-based judgment.

For most organizations, performance management is often restricted only to the top tier of the executives, in their weekly, monthly, and yearly discussions. Limiting performance to a set of specific goals for the top tier alone will not provide a detailed understanding of the strengths and shortcomings of individuals, the team, and the organizations. It restricts the learning culture and culture of continuous improvement.

OUR APPROACH

First AvocaDOs performance management consulting solutions intend to establish a learning and continuous improvement culture. The quantitative ratings in performance appraisals and performance indicators are merely a means to achieve this – definitely not the end goal.

First AvocaDOs performance management practice spends considerable time in establishing the  right climate for performance management. We start with revisiting the values system of the organization – and using it as a lever to define excellence at work. Performance Indicators are defined by exploring measurable aspects of daily tasks and their value to the larger goals of the team. 

We take great care in maintaining a realistic mix of business short-term and long-term goals. Performance Indicators and Performance Appraisal matrix are defined such that it meets the strategic and business objectives of the organization. 

More importantly, we focus on establishing a culture of feedback and team learning. This is done through various dialogue exercises and change programs.

CASE IN POINT

We have experience in establishing Performance management for various organizations whose operating models are both transactional and transformational.
