Business Performance Management

You want to improve the performance of your organisation without losing sight of your people. In this in-company training of four half-days, you combine Business Performance Management with systems thinking and a human-centred approach. For managers, analysts and project managers, in groups of 6 to 12.

Business Performance Management: human-centred strategies for performance
Business Performance Management: human-centred strategies for performance

Do you recognise this?

The quarterly overview is on the table. The numbers are not good enough, so you propose a new action plan. The team goes quiet, and no one can say what is behind the numbers.

In a few months, you will be sitting around the same graphs again. You feel that you cannot bring the people and the numbers together, and that makes your work harder than it should be.

You are responsible for the performance of an organisation or team. Yet you notice that:

  • performance is mainly viewed as numbers, without regard for the people behind them;
  • strategies struggle to land and provoke resistance;
  • you do not clearly see which patterns and relationships determine the success of your organisation;
  • improvements do not stick.

Real performance goes beyond numbers. It touches on what makes organisations flourish: their people.

Why do improvements not stick?

Numbers tell you what is happening, but rarely why. If the people and their mutual relationships remain out of the picture, you miss exactly the dynamics that determine performance.

This is how we steer on outcomes while the causes remain invisible. A new plan meets resistance, and what improves falls back after a while. That costs you energy and trust, and it makes improving more tiring than necessary.

It does not have to stay this way. Steering performance with an eye for people can be learned.

How do you improve performance with an eye for your people?

Business Performance Management gains more traction when you combine it with systems thinking. Then you see the patterns and relationships behind the numbers, and you find the places where improvement really sticks.

Our coaches know the tension between results and people. In four half-days, you work on a human-centred approach with lectures, case studies and practical exercises.

This is how you learn to develop and implement strategies that also improve job satisfaction, customer experience and culture.

What you can do after the training

After the training you can:

  • apply the core principles of Business Performance Management through the lens of systems thinking;
  • recognise patterns and relationships that determine the performance of your organisation;
  • analyse current performance levels, with an eye for the impact on employees and customers;
  • develop strategies that also improve job satisfaction, customer experience and organisational culture;
  • implement changes with buy-in and less resistance, using empathy, clear communication and stakeholder involvement;
  • set up adaptive feedback loops that combine numbers and human feedback.

This is how we approach it

The training consists of four half-days, with lectures, case studies and practical exercises.

Half-day 1: combining BPM with systems thinking

You explore the core principles of Business Performance Management and learn how systems thinking offers a lens to view performance in an interconnected context. You learn to appreciate the dynamics that contribute to the performance of an organisation.

Half-day 2: developing human-centred performance strategies

You delve into techniques to analyse current performance levels, with an eye for employees and customers. Using systems thinking, you develop strategies that also improve job satisfaction, customer experience and organisational culture.

Half-day 3: implementing strategies with a human touch

You address the challenges of shifting performance metrics and strategies, focusing on human elements. You explore inclusive approaches to change management.

Half-day 4: adaptive performance monitoring and optimisation

You create adaptive feedback loops with quantitative measurements and qualitative feedback. You apply systems thinking to find leverage points for sustainable improvements, so that the organisation and its people benefit.

Afterwards you keep practising

Every training is extended in the THOC Learning Space. Your material remains available and you get an AI Coach who knows the lesson.

We work in an experience-oriented way: you constantly work with the theory in practical exercises where you apply your skills to real situations.
