A quick, straightforward and cost-effective, way to improve any project, team or department, without bureaucracy – and you can measure the results!

* Enhance performance in just one day. Even when there is no obvious “problem” a Performance Improvement Workshop (PIW) is a straightforward and cost-effective way to get rid of irritating hindrances that sap morale.

*No matter what the problem, when people take time to think about what they do, they almost always have ideas for improvement. What they need is someone to help “draw this out” and formalise the ideas in an action plan.

*Sustained improvement comes from lots of little 5% improvements on multiple fronts. There are no big or magic fixes.

Here is how Performance Improvement Days work

• A Strategy Improver’s facilitator meets or telephones the relevant head of team, department or unit, to arrange a date for the PIW and gets permission to write to the key 8 - 10 players with a pre-workshop exercise.
• The facilitator writes to each participant explaining objectives and asks him/her to email or fax to him at least six hindrances, which if dealt with, would improve performance even more. Confidentiality is assured.
• All the suggestions are analysed and grouped into similar categories.
• During the PIW the facilitator assists the participants to:
  a) identify the most serious hindrances to even better performance
  b) find solutions
• prepare an action plan with agreed personal tasks, deadlines and measures of success.
• A “wash-up” session is arranged for about six weeks after the workshop. This motivates and is an opportunity to review progress and refine actions.
