Course Overview

Data on performance management system design is abundant; insight about it is not. A process for system design that managers quietly work around has already failed. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this aspect of people management and development improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Progress on performance management system design is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the practice within people management and development is examined, not just described. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for system design. The course sets out a working method for performance management system design that participants can apply the week they return. Participants finish able to explain system design to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of people management and development that would make a visible difference.
