The urgency to improve organizational performance is at an all-time high. Today’s customers expect more value for every penny they spent, knowledgeable employees are difficult to find and retain, competition is fierce, technology and data grow increasingly complex, and business models evolve ever more quickly. Given all of that and the complexity of modern organizations, a scatter-shot approach to improvement is not enough. Organizations need a systematic approach to incremental CHANGE that will drive them toward the ultimate goal of performance excellence.
Many organizations face common challenges when it comes to achieving high levels of performance becoming HIPO (High Performance Organizations). Organizations of all kinds— business, governmental, health care, and educational—create products or services to meet particular sets of consumer needs. To the extent that an organization achieves success and stability, the structures, systems, policies, work practices, and leadership styles that are associated with those accomplishments become accepted and standardized over time. In the short run, these patterns are often a prescription for continued success and vitality. However, in the longer term, these same patterns can lead to rigidity, insulation, lack of innovation, and gradual distancing from the needs of the marketplace and the expectations of consumers.
The HYBRID Performance Management Approach has been proven to help organizations transform with respect to customer satisfaction, employee engagement, leadership effectiveness, resource optimization, and ultimately performance excellence with Tangible VISION Realisation. (1) service orientation, (2) leadership, (3) information use, (4) collaboration, (5) communication, and (6) continuous improvement.
