The Performance Power Grid: The Proven Method to Create and Sustain Superior Organizational Performance

---

The performance power grid describes a highly effective, yet profoundly simple approach to managing. It is an approach that can permanently improve organization’s performance without trying to change you, your organization, or anyone in it.rnFor those organizations we worked with, the performance power grid corrected all that . It built a management framework that allowed the to evolve beyond their current environment and its culture, beyond the constant obsession with what went wrong. It moved companie past traditional budgeting, forecasting, and reporting solutions. It focused attention on revenue, profit, and customer value, the true measures of success in business.rnOnly by bringing people together around the things that matter most to a company can organization-wide superior performance be achieved and sustained. The performance power grid doesn’t talk about building teams, it builds them. It doesn’t encourage employees to leave the protection of their individual silos, it draws them out naturally. It doesn’t waste time telling people to change, it simply focuses them on those thing that trully drive the success of the organization. Employees willingly embrace the power grid because it makes their jobs easier and more fulfiling. Without any big fanfare, the power grid dramatically improves revenue, profit, and customer value.rnThe performance power grid works even when co-workers are not friends or find themselves at odds. Players on a team and soldiers in combat often do not like one another or have little in common, yet they work in unison toward a common goal. The performance power grid drives organizational performance and success to the level that management has always known possible but has been unable to achieve. rnThis methodology was created to meet business needs, and uses today’s best technology as an anabler. Using this technology it translates strategic objectives into actionable, measurable information. It then places that information at the fingertips of decision makers at every level of organization. The grid shows executives, managers, and knowledge workers (Those employees who are not management but still require specific information with which to make better decisions) where they stand today right now. It focuses their effort away from the noise and fires common to most environments, and onto the organizational issues that are truly important. It then answers employees’ most frequently voiced question: Why? “ Why is this important to me? Why are we failing? Or even, Why are we succeeding?”rnTraditional management reporting models only give employees half the picture. A scorecard tells them what their performance was, but it does not tell them what actually caused it. Before they can take real action or even make an informed decision, they must then get up from behind their desks and go find out, from another source, why. Only bay understanding both wahat performance is, and why it is what it is, can managament then take immediate action. Managers are often forced to circumvent this process by simply making the best decision they can based upon what they know, or what they intrinsically believe, about their organization. Therefore, the result often don’t achieve the desired end. In addition, pople will often make the extra effort or go to the extra mile if they understand why something is critical to their personal success. Logic then says that it the organization’s responsibility, and in its own best interest, to ensure that its best interests and its employees’ are one and the same.rnTo bring this all together, the performance power grid functions like an electrical power grid. Each day we expert electricity to be there for us. We consider it something constant in our lives, something always available. Such a grid shapes the very fabric of our lives and influences nearly everything we do. However, behind the scenes an electrical power grid isn’t constant at all. Out of sight it is drawing power from the sections of the city that don’t need it and applying it do those that do. It is helping everyone live better, easier, more fulfilling lives. An electrical power grid is actually in a state of constant flux and change. It is a limited resource, it can run out.rnSo too it power within or organizations. Time, money, and human energy are all limited resources, they can run out. How does an organization use this limited power to make itself better and everyone’s job easier? The answer: there needs to be an organization wide power grid behind the scene, moving and focusing power where it is most needed.rn
