WHO'S STACEY?

Stacey Barr is a teacher and mentor for corporate planners, business analysts, corporate performance managers, and others who guide the development of meaningful, results-oriented performance measures that focus their organisation on executing strategy and achieving goals, faster and easier and with far greater buy-in and engagement from people.

Stacey is the creator of PuMP® - the practical step-by-step methodology that makes it easier for people to choose, create and use measures that matter.

She's been running her consulting practice, specialising in performance measurement, since 1999, after leaving her 6-year role as Queensland Rail's internal Measurement Consultant... [read more of Stacey's bio here].

Stacey's Purpose and Vision...

PURPOSE: to give Executives, Strategy Managers and Performance Managers a refreshing, engaging and practical approach to meaningfully measure the performance of their organisation: to achieve its goals more quickly and easily, to excel at what it exists to do, and to therefore change the world in noticeably better ways.

VISION: PuMP®-based performance measurement is as much a part of normal business management as financial management is in at least 1,000,000 businesses/organisations around the world by 2030.

VALUES (derived by the AVI Values Inventory, at www.minessence.net):

  • Transcendence: Rising above perceived reality in order to gain wisdom in support of a transformative, planetary vision (so we can see that we can change the world).

  • Wisdom & Truth: To seek the wisdom that stems from understanding a set of universal principles that govern all things (so we learn how to have more influence to shape our world).

  • Word: Communicating principles of a universal nature so well that readers/listeners gain a greater understanding of themselves which uplifts and inspires.

  • Minessence: Simplifying complex ideas into concrete and practical applications to creatively change the world.

  • Discovery & Insight: To be motivated by moments of discovery and insight (so we can choose the best course of action to achieve our goals).

  • Congruence: Words, actions and deeds are in alignment with espoused beliefs. Walk the talk. Practice what you preach.

  • Decision/Initiation: Taking personal responsibility for setting direction and initiating action.

What Others Are Saying...

"Stacey Barr is one of my performance measurement heroes.

I learned a great deal from her web site (she has an incredible newsletter) in the research for writing my book Transforming Performance Measurement.

Stacey is one of the few people in the world who really 'gets' performance measurement.

If you are looking for someone to guide you on the path to using performance measurement well, Stacey is one of the first people you should contact."

Dean Spitzer, author of "Transforming Performance Measurement"


"Stacey Barr is one of those rare individuals who combines exceptional professionalism with all the qualities that I look for in a friend.

Since we first met two years ago, I’ve grown to appreciate Stacey as a trusted colleague, and manage to stay in touch with her, even though half the globe separates her office in Brisbane from mine in Berkeley.

When those who attend my courses in dashboard design ask for help in learning to measure performance - something you must know how to do before you can design effective performance monitoring displays - I encourage them to consider Stacey.

If you work with her, I’m confident that you’d not only achieve great outcomes but would also enjoy the journey along the way."

"Stacey Barr has developed a fantastic information source for performance metrics, including a great professional network.

She has had great success at championing the awareness of measurement issues in business. Among her many initiatives is her regular interviews with experts.

She seems to make every event 'the place to be' for anyone interested in measuring performance and positions herself as a key person to know in the field.

I have had the privilege of being among the many experts Stacey has interviewed and she gets the story in a way that even makes me see my own work in a different light."
