Depending on your role and your goals…
Are you curious about the best way to get started in better performance measurement and better strategy execution? If so, we’ve collated our recommendations on which program (either free or for a fee) will suit you best, depending on your role and the goals you currently have for your learning and implementation.
Leaders & Executives
Goal 1: Get our strategic direction ready for execution
A lot of time and effort goes into preparing a strategic direction and the strategic plan that will drive its execution. But much of this time and effort can be wasted if the goals are not understood, measurable, and easy to align to.
The program we recommend is: PuMP Evidence-Based Leadership (EBL). The EBL program gets the entire leadership team on the same page about how to get a clear, measurable and executable strategy. Then, through expert strategic facilitation by one of our licensed PuMP Partners, the leadership team transforms their current strategy into one that is clear, measurable and ready for alignment and execution.
Goal 2: Explore how good measurement work for our strategy execution
Good measurement for strategy execution often asks us to shift our mindsets about a few things that almost all leaders have been led to believe. Strategy execution and measurement are hard because a lot of those beliefs don’t hold true in practice. So what kind of mindset shifts are useful?
The program we recommend is: The 10 Secrets to KPI Success. This free program is a short and succinct introduction to how we need to think differently about measurement’s purpose, process and role in managing organisational performance and achieving our strategy.
Goal 3: Give a team extra help to align to our strategy and measure their performance
Measurement and strategy execution doesn’t come naturally to most people. And there are teams that are so operationally focused that it’s harder for them to get their heads around the more abstract strategy. These teams can make huge leaps forward with the right kind of expert facilitation.
The program we recommend is: PuMP Implementer Program. This is a highly practical hands-on series of workshops, designed to a schedule that works for your team, and led by an expert PuMP facilitator from our licensed PuMP team. It helps the team connect with your strategic direction, develop meaningful goals that align, and measure those goals to drive improvement.
Strategy & Performance Professionals
Goal 1: Find out if PuMP will work for us
You might be weighing up different options for measurement and strategy execution, like Balanced Scorecard, OKRs and Results-based Management. But PuMP actually supports these, and fills in gaps where they don’t quite achieve the quality of measurement and engagement you’re seeking.
The program we recommend is: PuMP Blueprint Self-Paced Program. This is the lowest investment to get all the PuMP know-how and templates, at your fingertips, when it suits you. You can start immediately, and work at your own pace, implementing what you learn, as you learn.
Goal 2: Get a few people ready to lead teams to execute strategy or improve team performance
Maybe you need to get started, but don’t yet have the budget or buy-in to roll out better measurement and strategy execution support just yet. But you can build a great foundation and get started on your own, or with just a few colleagues.
The program we recommend is: Public PuMP Blueprint Workshop. We have a schedule of public PuMP training, mostly online and around the world, so you can join from anywhere. Learn with your small team, get some coaching and all the resources you need to start implementing better measurement and strategy execution with your internal teams.
Goal 3: Build performance measurement capabilities across the organisation
If you’re like some of our bigger PuMP client organisations, you can reach a point where you want good measurement and strategy execution capability across most, if not all, of the departments and teams of your organisation.
The program we recommend is: Private PuMP Blueprint Workshop. We can semi-tailor a PuMP training workshop just for your colleagues, which can be delivered on-site or online. Your learning is deepened with direct application to your own goals and strategy, and you build a community of practice internally to keep the momentum and learning going.
