Performance Design Lab
Research, consulting, training and coaching organization, founded by Dr. Geary Rummler
Our theory base and methodologies have been adopted as the standard for◦ improvement initiatives within Fortune 100 companies, ◦ the consulting industry and business schools.
Why “Lab”? Our fundamental belief is that performance can be designed, that
performance improvement is not magic, but science.
We continue to apply, evolve and expand the theory base and methodologies to:◦ Management systems ◦ Measurement◦ Strategy◦ Organization design◦ Business process management

Introduction

Performance Design Lab
Organizations are complex systems
Organization performance can be systematically designed, analyzed, improved, maintained
But improving a complex system requires visualizing that system
Visual models and tools are our stock in trade
14
Performance Design Lab
How we view and understand performance is a function of the lens or mental model we use
Models: Abstract representations of reality that reveal relationships (e.g., interdependencies, cause-effect, impact) important to performance
Tools: Anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose including communication, analysis and design
When models are applied they become tools

5. Resources:a. Human Resources – increasing difficulty recruiting
qualified engineers over the past 18 months. An engineering shortage is a direct threat to developing new products to compete with competitor CCC.
b. Supplies/materials – Serious fire last quarter in prime facility of major component supplier has disrupted supply chain, causing some product delivery delays.
c. Technology – Necessary to aggressively pursue and evaluate emerging electronic and metallurgical technologies to counter recent success of competitor CCC.
d. Capital – Primary source of capital is Corporate, who is increasingly reluctant to invest more funds until they see an improvement in Belding Engineering earnings. The combination of lowered Belding Engineering earnings and no additional funding from Corporate has serious implications for new product development.
6. Business Environment:a. Economy predicted to remain strong for next 3
years.b. Federal legislation pending that could
influence the way the industry disposes of certain production chemical by-products.
3. Market:a. Industry continues to grow
at about 15% per year. Analysts predict this will remain the case for the next decade.
b. Overall revenue growth has averaged 12% for the past three years
2. Products:a. Original (Introduced ten years ago – sales growth
slowing each of last five years)b. Complex ( Introduced five years ago – sales remain
almost the same each of the past three years)c. New (Introduced three years ago – growing an
average of 75% per year since introduction)d. Two new products scheduled for launch early next
year.e. Product performance:
i. Rework on the increaseii. Increased delivery times
4. Competition:a. Three major competitors
- AAA – Comparable technology, features and price
- BBB – Inferior technology, less features, lower prices
- CCC – Newer technology, more features, slightly higher prices
b. Market share summary:

“Definitely not. I might make better diagrams but certainly wouldn’t stop making them. On one level it’s like saying to a mathematician, ‘Couldn’t you do without all those formulas and numbers?’
“You can list variables that affect organizational results, but words can’t show the relationships between things—a diagram can. I have a saying that if I can’t draw a picture of a problem, I don’t understand it and thus can’t explain the problem to the client.”
You have been criticized for your abundant use of complex diagrams in your books. Given the chance, would you do them differently now?

Adequate and appropriate criteria (standards) with
which to judge successful performance
• Clear or sufficiently recognizable indications of the need to perform
• Minimal interference from incompatible or extraneous demands
• Necessary resources (budget, personnel, equipment) to perform
• Sufficient positive consequences (incentives) to perform
• Few, if any, negative consequences (disincentives) to perform
Frequent and relevant feedback as to how well (or how poorly)
the job is being performed
• Necessary understanding and skill to perform
• Capacity to perform both physically and emotionally
• Willingness to perform (given the incentives available)

Every human performer exists as part of a larger Human Performance System.
Human behavior is influenced by its consequences - People exhibit behavior that leads to positive
consequences- Avoid behavior that leads to negative
consequences. There are a finite number of variables (six)
affecting human performance.

the system will win every time

A. PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
• Do performance standards exist?• Do performers know the desired
output and performance standards?
• Do performers consider the standards attainable?
B. TASK SUPPORT
• Can performers easily recognize the input requiring action?
• Can the task be done without interference from other tasks?
• Are job procedures and workflow logical?
• Are adequate resources available for performance (time, tools, staff and information)?
C. CONSEQUENCES
• Are consequences aligned to support desired performance?
• Are consequences meaningful from performer’s viewpoint?
• Are consequences timely?
D. FEEDBACK
• Do performers receive information about their performance?
• Is the information:• Timely?• Relevant?• Accurate?• Constructive?• Easy to understand?• Specific?
E. KNOWLEDGE/SKILL
• Do performers have the necessary knowledge and skill to perform?
• Do performers know why desired performance is important?
F. INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY
• Are performers physically, mentally and emotionally able to perform?

Input Spin @ PeakTarget: 200 MV
B. Task Support
• There is not record for a desk of what the latest standards/instructions are. There is only a historical e-mail thread that makes it difficult to discern what is current.
• Lots of equipment used to handle high voltage is inoperable. Lots of equipment has unique requirements that must be memorized or accessed.
• Adding to the chaos and work load: Last minute requests for permits from field. Unplanned building moves.
A. Performance Specifications
• The standard exists.
• Standard is not known by all performers. Confusion about whether it is a rolling 15 minute average or real time.
• Currently no one is at standard. The range is 205 -339. Is it realistic?
C. Consequences
• No positive consequences for meeting the target. No negative consequences for missing the target.
• Poor performers are not dealt with – This is observed by all other performers.
• No performance reviews
F. Individual Capacity
• Operators are physically, mentally, and emotionally able to perform this job.
• Anger over toward management may be interfering.
E. Knowledge and Skill
• Training on skills that are then not used for long period of time (due to desk assignment). Training viewed as not helpful.
• Not sure that the economics of the goal have been communicated. Comments about “no explanation of the numbers”, just “Do this”
D. Feedback
• Performance data is available via screen. There is no reporting after a shift or other interval.

1. Hypothesizing and diagnosing the cause(s) of poor human performance
2. Designing/Implementing changes at the job level -replacing the “is” HPS with a “should” HPS (Change management)
3. Managing performance by managing the “performance system” rather than the individual
4. Evaluating the likely impact of proposed policies/ changes on the HPS of employees. (Avoid the “Law of Unintended Consequences”)
5. Understanding “culture” (the prevailing “expectations-consequence” relationships) and what must be done to change it.

1. Desired process outputs/results – the specifications of the desired business value milestone and required process outputs Requirements: Linked to organization and customer requirements; clear; and
communicated to all parties designing, improving, performing and/or managing the process.
2. Process design – the design of the work and value creation flow of a process Requirements: Embodies optimal work and value flow characteristics such as continuous
and parallel flow and value add steps
3. Underlying models – the models or principles and supporting algorithms which dictate process design e.g. staffing level models, inventory management models, resource allocation models, etc. Requirements: Align to the business requirements of the process
4. Resources – the inputs provided by Contributing processes which enable the process to be performed as designed e.g. staffing levels, performance environment, budget, etc. Requirements: Align to the business requirements of the process

Performance Design Lab 64
5. Inputs/triggers – the outputs from upstream processes and the events which feed and initiate the start of the process. Requirements: clearly defined and accounted for in the process design
6. Jobs/roles – the people who perform the process, the associated hierarchy and the system of variables that influence their ability to produce the desired outputs Requirements: properly aligned and executed as specified by the process design
7. Technology – the technology that performs or enables the performance of the process including hardware, software (i.e. systems, interfaces and applications) and data Requirements: properly aligned and executed as specified by the process design
8. Process Performance Management System – the act of planning and managing at the process level of performance Requirements: Timely and actionable performance expectations.

Are the desired process outputs/results requirements Linked to Organization and Customer requirements? Clear? Communicated?
Is the process designed to meet output requirements? Are the underlying models appropriate? Are necessary resources available? Do the required inputs/triggers meet input standards? Are jobs/roles properly aligned and executed (including organization
structure)? Is the required technology aligned and executing? Is an appropriate Process Management System (PPMS)
In place? Aligned? Executing?

Organization complexity is increasing -modeling will continue to be essential to understanding, changing and managing performance.
Practitioners and Managers need models to: ◦ make effective and lasting changes/
improvements, and◦ avoid unintended consequences.
There is no excuse for not understanding the performance context associated with any problem/opportunity.
