Agile Performance Management

APM emphasizes accelerating rather than managing performance. It is a crucial element to sustain high-value creation and organizational success. APM is ideal for businesses operating in dynamic environments that require responsiveness and adaptability.

Traditional Performance Management systems no longer deliver on their promise to instill high performance. They turned into over-engineered, administrative, and expensive processes under increasing pressure to change.

However, this is not surprising: Traditional Performance Management systems were created for a very different world: A world of stability and high task certainty. Unfortunately, most institutions and organizations no longer live in this world. Instead, they increasingly face a highly demanding and fast-changing environment that requires responsiveness and adaptability.

Enter Agile Performance Management (APM) – a revolutionary system designed for today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving business landscape.

ADVANCED AGILITY 1

APM takes on current challenges by leveraging core agile principles to support more frequent feedback, increased engagement, responsiveness, and adaptability, and focus on learning and growth. It is a way to (re-)optimize the system to accelerate performance for high responsiveness, growth, and continuous value delivery and shift to an Iterative Performance Flow.

APM is a continuous performance management approach crucial to constant and sustainable high-value creation and organizational success.

Our approach is optimized for Agile business units and organizations but is also effective for those with limited lean-agile practices or those who operate on a hybrid model.
