Performance / Overview
Bottom line: Performance management consulting succeeds when it respects how your business actually operates — relationship dynamics, shop-floor metrics, leadership involvement — not when it imports a generic MBO deck.
Typical engagement arc
- Diagnosis — where reviews disconnect from business results
- Metric design — cascade from annual targets to roles
- System build — handbooks, templates, meeting rhythm
- Embedded rollout — coaches managers through the first 2–3 cycles
- Handoff — internal owners trained to sustain the loop
When to hire vs train internally
| Signal | Implication |
|---|---|
| First structured performance system | External design + embed accelerates |
| Repeated failed internal attempts | Need outside accountability |
| Fast growth / new plants | Standardize before chaos compounds |
