The path to extraordinary performance is paved with hard truths, which means it’s not for everyone. That doesn’t mean it’s not attainable, it means not everyone is ready and willing to do what is necessary. Performance, let alone extraordinary performance, is not simple or promised. Performance is not achieved by happenstance or half-measures; it is achieved through engineering and integration.

Hard truth – the majority of people and organizations do not understand how to effectively translate strategy into performance. Why?

• They don’t define, cultivate, or analyze performance correctly.
• They don’t approach performance holistically or account for its complexities.
• They don’t equally value business performance and cultural performance.
• They see performance only through the lens of HR’s ‘performance management.’
• They’re not willing to give or accept honest feedback and hold each other accountable.

Ever wonder what sets apart world-class athletes, organizations, and brands from others? Taking an honest inventory of performance ability, acknowledging performance strengths and gaps, creating a comprehensive performance intervention plan, and committing to raising the bar of performance expectation. Make no mistake, this is not easy…..but it is worth it.

Performance architecture is about translating strategy into practical results. It is a blueprint to purposefully engineer performance outcomes and the conditions that drive achievement of strategy – from the C-suite to the shop floor.

Achieving desired results requires creating the conditions necessary to perform – a fundamental understanding, acceptance, and disciplined application of mind-set, structure, habits, levers, and analysis that combine to propel success. Without a method to objectively assess and insightfully architect for the right outcomes and conditions, have fun throwing darts in the dark, spending time and money with no yield, and managing risk you don’t understand.
