Perform

Unlocking human potential: maximising performance through people

Perform: Changing the Work Culture

Perform programme is based on Lean tools, which shifts people mindset and behaviours in order to drive continuous improvement culture. Perform supports the capacity to grow through your people.

Perform builds a high performance culture through creating new ways of working and getting the best out of people.

It optimises what managers and their teams do, how they do it, and the tools they use.

The programme introduces 10 elements changing the way teams work and communicate to be more effective and more efficient.

The key for success

The key for success is to implement all of these elements together and make them work as a system in order to achieve sustainable results, considering:

New behaviours
Foster a culture of innovation and adaptability.

Lean Tools and New Capability
Integrate Lean methods for streamlined agile processes.

Effectiveness
Align efforts with clear goals, regularly refining strategies.

Efficiency
Optimise processes through technology, prioritising resource efficiency.

Routines & Practices

Information Centres

Typical deployment

  • Implementation through on-site, full time coaching – for 12-16 weeks

  • Starts with an intensive boot camp than engages and inspires

  • Targets team leaders and managers

  • Introduces a framework of techniques that works with teams and functions

  • Introduces techniques incrementally across a 12-16 week roll out so as to embed each element before adding another

  • The client teams ‘own’ the design, the build and the running of each element so sustainability is guaranteed
  • We exemplify the new ways of working – train, coach and choreograph each tool, technique and step of the journey

 

The power of Perform

The power of Perform is about the way we address behaviours, which results in higher engagement to develop and drive process improvements.

* this depends on the maturity of the company – the more mature the company is, the less capacity would be generated
