Performance transformation

Performance transformation

Performance Transformation,or Transformation of Performance, is an Outcome, a result, of actions by an individual, a group or an organisation, to radically Make Different the results they achieve.

Overview

In a Business context, Performance Transformation, is the Outcome of the capabilities, the thinking and the actions undertaken by the members of the organisation, and those with whom they interact, to radically Make Different the results they achieve. It does not predicate which results are to be different, what the difference/s might be, nor what methods may be involved - purely that Something/s will be Different. There is commonly an underlying implication, and (too often unspoken) assumption that Different means Better.

This area of managerial and leadership knowledge is bedevilled with an excess of sectional theories and solutions - and mis-use of language.

A typical difficulty is where language that relates to an Outcome is used as the description of a Process. as illustrated in this example -

"Performance Transformation" aligns a company’s competencies to their business strategy and vision. It is linked to their business operations (results) as human capital, the most important asset in a company—its people. Perhaps the most important set of competencies for any company are those of project management used during sales (prospecting campaigns, proposal and contract development), delivery (goods and services), and support (sustaining the goods and services over a specified period). "Performance Transformation" focuses on project management competencies as essential to any businesses mission, goals, and objectives. It is this set of competencies that support capability within a business to both assist its own organizational initiatives as well as assist in their own goods and services to market."

Performance Transformation can be the result of Business Transformation initiatives, if they are effective. In the example above, "Project Management" (as defined in Wikipedia - Project Management) is only one of the many disciplines and competencies that can be elements of an effective Business Transformation initiative.

More generally, extensive experience suggests that Transformation of Performance is an outcome of approaches that coherently integrate People, Process and Purpose - and that, in most cases, the Purpose will have the values of Better, Faster, and Cheaper.
