the Performance Measure Specialist

"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."

Grant Bennett & Warren van Wyk, Redland Shire Council


"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


"Stacey, I have attended your 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
."

Kylie McIntosh, HR Officer, Roche Products Pty Ltd


"Your style and materials are very approachable, and you explained everything so clearly that I never felt baffled ... The course is really designed with the learner in mind. Thanks!"

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


"I was surprised by the impact of your presentation and the opportunity to try out and discuss the techniques. There were quite a few ‘lights on’ moments for me during the course... Thanks again for an enjoyable and rewarding workshop."

Greg Hince, Analytical Chemist, Australian Antarctic Division


"Not only have I learnt a great methodology for performance measures from you, I have also gained a bit more insight and confidence that I can actually make a real difference in the business and wider community. And if no one has told you - your presentation skills are great."

Chris Dunbar, Principal Management Accountant, Queensland Treasury


"Stacey, congrats and thanks again for such a great Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop last week - it’s inspiring to be around people who love what they do!"

Michael Ford, Growth By Design Pty Ltd


"Stacey, the workshop that you ran was revelational - truly. Simpy put, the single most important question that I took away with me was a question you asked of me on the second morning: "What do you define as success for the organisation?" Well I've got to say that question took me about two or three days to answer properly. As a result, it's strengthened the focus in our organisation about what matters most."

Todd MacDougall, CEO, Corcom (www.corcom.org.au)

Your own tailored, in-house Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop

Do you have 10 or more people in your organisation READY and EAGER to learn how to meaningfully measure performance?

This one-of-a-kind workshop teaches you how to overcome the most common practical struggles people face in trying to meaningfully measure what matters:

  • trying to measure a strategy that seems immeasurable and is filled with vague words like efficient, effective, sustainable, quality, reliability and productive

  • trying to find good performance measures that meaningfully track results, not activity

  • trying to get people engaged in measurement, so they buy-in and have ownership of their measures to improve performance

Is this the workshop for YOU?

The in-house Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop is ideal for people who are in varying roles where performance measurement skills are core to their responsibilities:

  • Managers and Executives who want to demonstrate strong leadership in results-oriented strategy execution and performance monitoring and improvement

  • Corporate Planners and planning officers who want to ensure KPIs and performance measures are meaningfully aligned to strategic and operational plans

  • Business Analysts, reporting and business intelligence officers who want to be sure their analyses and reports and dashboards clearly convey the right performance measures and cause analysis

  • Quality and process improvement officers and performance measurement officers throughout the organisation, who want to confidently lead their colleagues to decide what is meaningful to measure and use those measures to drive performance improvement and strategy execution

  • Project managers and project teams who want to ensure their initiatives and projects have the intended business impact and deliver a return on investment for the organisation

  • Staff who are tasked with implementing performance measures for their work teams, or who are involved in performance measurement initiatives lead by the organisation's corporate planners, quality managers or performance measurement officers.

It is tailored exactly to organisations that:

  • need to generate lots of buy-in from teams for measuring and improving performance

  • need to improve performance but aren't sure where to start or exactly what to do

  • want a way to clearly communicate goals to teams, customers, colleagues and other stakeholder groups

  • have KPIs that aren't useful or used, but aren't sure why, or how to change them

  • want to know the real steps to implement KPIs that are meaningful and useful and not just about filling in the KPI column in business plans

  • want a refresher on the essentials of developing KPIs, to finetune their existing performance measurement processes

  • are still waiting to discover the secrets of making performance measurement work

Learn the 6 powerful performance measurement techniques...

The Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop is ALL about the practical, step-by-step techniques to get more clear about your goals than you've ever been, and focused on the right measures to track those goals so you can quickly test and tune your strategies to reach them.

You will learn how to:

  • make your strategy measurable (that is, your goals or objectives) and easier to cascade and communicate and execute

  • select and design performance measures far better than brainstorming or benchmarking ever can - especially for the seemingly immeasurable things

  • get buy-in from people for performance measurement and performance improvement

  • make your measures easier and more cost-effective to implement (and not sit lifelessly in the KPI column in your plan)

  • design performance reports and dashboards that communicate the signals in your measures you need to respond to

  • put your measures to work, to execute your strategy and achieve your goals and targets

  • integrate performance measurement with planning and performance review, to make performance improvement "business as usual"

  • link the 6 powerful performance measurement techniques into a step-by-step process you'll find very easy to implement back at work with your colleagues

You will have all the resources you'll need to implement what you learn:

We make sure you have all the resources you need to walk away from the workshop and start applying what you learned quickly and easily:

  • Easy to follow workbook, well organised, including all the workshop PowerPoint slides plus activity templates, bonus checklists and case studies

  • A detailed case study which we examine throughout the workshop

  • A Resource CD including templates to use with your team and make implementation easy and quick

Save up to 45% of the price per person compared to a public PMBW

Estimate what achieving one of your organisational targets or goals is worth. It's probably many thousands of dollars, and very likely much more over time. And imagine how much value could come from having dozens of targets met. That's the return that an investment in good peformance measurement brings: achieving more targets, achieving them sooner, and often achieving them with less resources than planned, too.

So if just a few of your key staff attending an In-house Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop applied their new skill to meaningfully measure a few areas of performance, and improved that performance, it could be one of the most powerful investments you make this year.

The investment for an In-house Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop is much less than if you were to send a few colleagues to one of our public workshops (which is $1800 per person):

If an Accredited PuMP Consultant delivers your workshop:

10 to 25 people: $990AU per person
26 or more: $900AU per person

If Stacey Barr delivers your workshop:

10 to 25 people: $1170AU per person
26 or more: $1180AU per person

These prices exclude GST (for Aussies) and exclude travel costs, which will be estimated in advance and invoiced to you at cost.
