Course Overview

It offers a historical context for performance management and a new framework for reimagining our approach. It offers insights into how all of these elements impact our organizational cultures; discusses what hurdles we may face, and inspires discussion around how we actually make these shifts. It asks us to look at our current performance management systems and identify areas that can (and must!) be improved and provides the space to do some reimagining.

Field Manuals

Performance Management Reimagined is made up of five Field Manuals (our version of an online module). Each one contains a variety of types of content and social exercises culminating in a mini-project, reflection, or debate. Each Field Manual will take you between 30-45 minutes to complete but you can jump on and off at your own pace, as often as you’d like. The deeper learning happens in the discussions with your fellow learners, so be sure to check in on the conversations regularly.

Field Manual Overview:

  • 30-45 minutes to complete

    Bite-sized, easy to read modules for an efficient learning experience.

  • Self paced

    You can jump on and off at your own pace, as often as you'd like.

  • Engaging learning modules

    Each field manual contains different types of content and social exercises, all culminating in a mini-project, reflection, or debate.

  • Performance in Context

    Performance management has long been seen—by both employees and organizations—as a dreaded must-have. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. This Field Manual explores the history of performance management and asks how we can update our practices so they align better with the mission, purpose, and strategy of our business.

  • Goal Setting & Alignment

    Goals are key to performance: they help us know where we’re going and, in the end, whether we’ve gotten there. To kick performance up to the highest levels, individual, team, and organizational goals need to all be in alignment. This Field Manual explores it all.

  • Continuous Feedback

    Feedback—both how we get it and how we give it—is changing at a lightning pace. This Field Manual dives into the nuances of how to do it well between both individuals and teams. It then moves out to look at the emergence of 360 degree feedback and how technology is enabling continuous feedback that can be integrated into the flow of work.

  • Performance Coaching

    One of the core ways we can enable better performance is by supporting employees at all levels. Coaching is a crucial piece of the support. It gives employees the insight and confidence they need to succeed—and helps coaches too. This Field Manual explores what it means to be a good coach, what that relationship looks like over time, and how it can improve performance across an organization.

  • Rewards, Recognition and Culture

    Performance Management isn’t an end unto itself. Ultimately, it’s about creating a healthy, thriving culture that drives your business forward. Rewards and recognition are a crucial piece of that performance management-to-culture journey. This Field Manual explores that connection.
