Stacey discovered that the struggles with measuring business performance are, surprisingly, universal. The biggest include hard-to-measure goals, trivial or meaningless measures, and no buy-in from people to measure and improve what matters. To solve these struggles, firstly for herself and later for her peers and clients, Stacey created the PuMP methodology, a suite of programs based on PuMP, all hosted here on this website, PuMP Academy.

Stacey is also the author of Practical Performance Measurement and Prove It!, publisher of the Measure Up blog, host of the PuMP Academy, and her content appears on Harvard Business Review’s website and in their acclaimed ManageMentor Program.

Debbie manages all of our private and public PuMP and EBL programs in Australasia, our international PuMP Certification Program, and our global team of PuMP Partners and PuMP Contractors. She also takes care of our customer and subscriber communication.

Debbie’s Airline career, which spanned over 15 years, focused on frontline customer service and aircraft dispatch. Debbie has been trained in how to manage multiple tasks simultaneously whilst not loosing sight of customers’ needs. This high-pressure customer-oriented experience gave her the skills needed to manage each of Stacey’s events and programs (like the EBL Program and PuMP Blueprint Workshops) and to support our global team of PuMP Partners.

Debbie has been working alongside Stacey for over 13 years. Her favourite part of working in the Stacey Barr Pty Ltd team is the amazing support shared among our team members, the satisfaction of seeing a workshop come together, and upon its completion, reading the great feedback we receive from our clients.
