Overview of the Performance Measure Blueprint

The Performance Measure Blueprint is not new, not rocket-science and not a flash-in-the-pan fad. It’s a process comprised of proven how-to techniques, illustrated by real-life case studies and supported by easy fill-in-the-blanks templates.

This Self-paced Audio Program steps you through learning and practicing the Performance Measure Blueprint in 8 modules that you can implement as you go. The emphasis is on making it easier and quicker to meaningfully measure what matters, in a very practical way.

Via this convenient, self-paced audio program, you will learn how to:

GET STARTED with measuring what matters, and know the steps to follow through to the point of improving what matters.

Make your strategy clear, cascaded and MEASURABLE so it’s easy to get measures to align to strategy.

Select and design MEANINGFUL performance measures that ALIGN TO STRATEGY, far better than brainstorming ever can.

Create meaningful measures even for those intangible, SEEMINGLY IMMEASURABLE performance goals or objectives.

Get BUY-IN—even from the cynics—to measure and improve performance.

Bring your measures TO LIFE (and not sit motionless in the KPI column in the plan).

Create reports that make it easy to interpret and TAKE ACTION to IMPROVE performance results.

Design your IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS to apply what you learn back at work.

About Stacey Barr

Stacey Barr, the Performance Measure Specialist, has specialised in organisational performance measurement for over 15 years, and the Performance Measure Blueprint is the culmination of her most practical learning and innovations in this field.

Stacey is known for her inspiring passion, the practicality of her teaching and her inate ability to balance the technical rigour of performance measurement with the social, human side.

For the most part, this Performance Measure Blueprint Self-paced Audio Program was designed to meet the requests of Stacey's international customers, who want to learn the Blueprint but are not in a position to travel all the way "Down Under" to Australia for her renowned 2-day Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop.

How the Self-paced Audio Program Works

The Performance Measure Blueprint Self-paced Audio Program is a CD-based training package that allows you to step yourself through the 8 powerful and practical sessions of the Blueprint, to learn the concepts, practice the techniques and apply the templates to your own organisation or company without travelling to attend a live workshop.

There are 8 audio CDs, each one a live recording of the 2008 Performance Measure Blueprint Telecourse sessions, where Stacey delivered the Blueprint via teleconference and webcast to people all over the world. Because they are live recordings, you get to hear the "real" Stacey, speaking from her knowledge and experience rather than a script, and engaging with listeners like a natural dialogue rather than a canned studio recording.

As Stacey guides you through each session, she makes sure you are following along to the PowerPoint slides and case studies and templates included in your resource binder, that comes with the Performance Measure Blueprint Self-paced Audio Program.

And to help you practice and apply what you learn, she gives you practical activities to do to apply what you learn from each session. It's the next best thing to having her personally coach you!

Plus, there are 2 additional CDs, which are live recordings of the Q&A session Stacey offered so course participants could get more tailored and specific information and tips for their own challenges and questions.

Is the Self-paced Audio Program For You?

The Performance Measure Self-paced Audio Program is designed for people who want to learn how to measure what matters more easily and quickly, but without having to travel and invest 2 days to attend a live workshop, particularly if it's too far away.

Specifically, you'll find this self-paced audio program ideal if you:

can't make the dates of the live 2-day Performance Measure Blueprint Workshops
weren't able to get financial approval from their manager to travel and attend the live workshop
don't yet have the buy-in from their manager to invest in performance measurement skill development
prefer to learn in smaller chunks, step by step, rather than with 2 days of complete immersion
can't afford the time of taking out 2 days (plus travel time) to attend a live event
like to apply each step they learn immediately, like action learning

Testimonials From Workshop Attendees and Self-paced Audio Program Users

Paul O'Byrne, a previous workshop participant, came from the UK to attend the March 2007 Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop.

After just his first day at the March 2007 workshop, Paul sat his video camera on a park bench outside the hotel, and told the story of his workshop experience...

Suited My Learning Style Perfectly

"I found the Performance Measure Blueprint Program very valuable - not just because I learnt some great tools and concepts I can use in my role, but because the structure of the course suited my learning style perfectly.

I was able to focus on the short sharp sessions without the fatiguing that happens in all-day courses and found the course flexibility great as I was able to get out of the work environment (and away from interruptions) to tune in.

The resource website including the course notes, handouts and recordings was brilliant with everything located in one convenient location and allowing me listen to recordings multiple times to pick up anything I missed.

Overall, for me, this course in this format was the perfect mix and provided me with a lot of great new tools I was able to use in my role immediately.

Thanks Stacey for being a great presenter and for the innovative approach you have introduced to provide participation options that cater for different learning styles."

Craig Pettett, Business Support Advisor in a Queensland-based utility

Designed With the Learner in Mind

"Stacey, it was fantastic to do your Performance Measure Blueprint Program. It's the first telecourse I've done, and I wasn't sure how it would work. But it was great.

I could process the content at my own pace and it was really well organised - I could download all the materials from one place, and during the calls you always made it clear which slide we should be on so I didn't get lost.

And I could listen to the downloads at my desk at times that suited me.

Your style and materials are very approachable, and you explained everything so clearly that I never felt baffled by statistics.

The course is really designed with the learner in mind. Thanks!"

Vicky Stanbridge, Principal Adviser in a government organisation, Wellington, New Zealand

Most Practical Workshop We've Ever Attended

"In our management roles we have attended many conferences, workshops, and training sessions on this and other subjects.

In our opinion, this was the best, most practical workshop both of us have ever attended. This is the most straightforward, well thought through approach to developing and reporting performance measures that we have seen. We believe that this approach and process could be used in any organisational environment and would deliver great benefits to how you develop, design and report performance...

It’s worth concluding that the workshop experience itself was most enjoyable, it was a true workshop because it was easy to participate, everyone contributed, challenging questions were asked, points of view debated, many laughs had, and expert advice and opinion provided by Stacey and her team.

We would both be amazed if you left this workshop without having some major learning experiences and being ready to make some changes immediately in your organisation’s performance measurement and reporting process."

Grant Bennett, Corporate Planning & Performance Service Manager, Redland Shire Council

Automatically Focuses Performance Measurement On Your Strategic Direction

"Some organisations struggle trying to make sense of a myriad of operational measures that are unrelated to what they really need to achieve to be successful. I have found that PuMP (Stacey's methodology) creates a solid and shared understanding of strategic business outcomes as its starting point. By doing this, the PuMP methodology automatically focuses performance measurement on your strategic direction.

As a performance measurement facilitator in a large organisation, using this methodology has made it easier for me to engage people at all levels to develop meaningful measures. It's given me the practical tools I need to perform my role. As someone who has used the methodology to create strategic measures for a number of organisations, I have also found that participants actually enjoy working with PuMP."

Leona Olsen, Manager Business Performance, QR

Teams Can Clearly See Alignment To Corporate Outcomes

"After using the PuMP methodology with five service and delivery teams over the last twelve months I have found it to be a powerful management tool. From using the PuMP approach, teams can clearly see an alignment between their day-to-day tasks and corporate outcomes. As a result, this methodology drives greater alignment of resources, employee engagement and performance based cultural change."

Mark Hocknell, Associate Director,451 Consulting Pty Ltd

The CEO And Executive Were Really Impressed

"Since the workshop, I've used a couple of the techniques successfully. ... I actually used the report template you gave us at the workshop, to help provide a report to the CEO on the measures the executive management already have in place. The CEO and executive were all really impressed with the format! It really got their interest and attention!"

Moira Lugg, Manager Performance and Evaluation, South Australia

Growing Into My Role As Performance Measurement Champion

"Before I attended the workshop, I was reacting to requests for performance reports without a viable system to analyse or assess the reports and their impact on the business and what they wanted to achieve.

At the workshop, I was shown how to create viable performance report suite that not only aligned to the business strategic vision, but also how to assess the requirements of the reports. With the knowledge that I have gained, I have created a report suite that shows our performance clearly at all levels of management and also at the process level. These reports are now used widely throughout the branch by the extended management team and in other areas of the company.

The knowledge that I have gained though the workshop has enabled me to grow into my role as a performance measurement champion and I have built a reputation of being the person to talk to in how to setup and assess reports for other areas in the business, and even in other companies. I have been able to see how the reports are used by the management team as a tool for business improvement and as a gauge for their success."

Fiona Issel, Senior Distribution Design Support Officer, Western Power, Western Australia

Inspired Beyond The Blueprint

"Stacey, I have attended your Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop in July, and since have been reading your many resources and newsletters. Your philosophy and approach, and the language and methods you use to get your messages across, are so inline with how I operate, and I am totally inspired by this.

I have already learnt so much and had so many ideas just from the resources you provide. I am pretty much in a role where I can become a ‘measurement’ expert in my organisation which I am both really excited and really daunted by!! So far, your practical tips and "Measures & More" newsletter are fantastic for quick, practical tips that come from experience, not just some theory."

Kylie McIntosh, HR Officer, Roche Products Pty Limited, Sydney Australia
