PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ECONOMICS™

What is performance management costing your organisation?

Performance management is usually discussed as an HR process. We treat it as an organisational investment: employee time, manager capacity, HR effort, executive attention, technology and external cost weighed against the value the system creates.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ECONOMICS™

The question is bigger than the annual review.

The real question is not simply how much an annual review costs. It is how much organisational capacity the wider performance system consumes, which activities create value, where avoidable friction exists and whether the investment is producing sufficient performance benefit.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ECONOMICS™

The £10 Million Performance Question.

In a large organisation, seemingly small amounts of performance management activity can aggregate into a material investment of management time, employee capacity and money. Performance Management Economics™ makes that investment visible and gives leaders a stronger basis for deciding what to simplify, redesign, retain or strengthen.

Cost

Understand the direct and organisational cost associated with the performance system.

Capacity

See where scarce employee, management, HR and executive attention is being consumed.

Value

Distinguish activities that contribute to performance from activity that primarily creates friction.

Opportunity

Identify where organisational capacity could credibly be simplified, redesigned or redeployed.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ECONOMICS™

Use the online calculator to explore the potential scale of your performance management footprint. The result is directional, not a diagnosis. A full Performance Management Economics™ engagement replaces generic assumptions with client evidence and proprietary analysis.

Economics tells you how material the issue may be. Intelligence tells you why.

Cost alone does not tell you what to change. We combine the economic view with wider performance evidence so that necessary investment is not mistaken for waste and administrative symptoms are not mistaken for root causes.
