Performance AND health matter

You need to create organisational DNA for long-term success. And thats what enables you to perform in the short term Narayana Murthy, former Chairman of Infosys Technologies

Organisations attain excellence only when leaders manage both performance and health with equal rigour Health can be defined as an organisations ability to align, execute and renew itself faster than the competition Managing health is not something you do in the future; it is about the actions you take today to deliver performance tomorrow Organisational excellence can be achieved through a five-stage process: aspire, assess, architect, act and advance

Both performance AND health must be managed


Performance Health

What an enterprise delivers to stakeholders in financial and operational terms (e.g., net operating profit, ROACE, TRS, net operating costs, stock turn)

The ability of an organisation to align, execute and renew itself to sustain exceptional performance over time

The narrow pursuit of shareholder value was the dumbest idea in the world Jack Welch Former Chairman and CEO of GE Financial Times, August 2009

Organisations typically encounter similar pitfalls in their transformational journey to achieving performance AND health
1. The urgent drives the important out of sight 2. Pressure for progress inhibits discovery 3. Change programmes emphasisedoing different things rather than doing things differently 4. Initiatives are created independently, complementarily 5. Standardisation results in insensitivity to context 6. Planning takes the place of piloting and experimentation 7. Apparent consensus fades when challenged 8. Continuity is marginalised in the midst of change

Dig deep to identify limiting mindsets

The discovery process deep dives into an organisations inner workings


Current state Where are we, and what do we want to achieve? Outcomes (e.g. blame) Desired state Outcomes (e.g. accountability)

What changes in practices do we need to achieve the desired outcomes?

Practices (e.g. no clear performance contracts) Behaviours (e.g. minimal performance dialogue) Mindsets (e.g. Keep my head down, watch my back)

Practices (e.g. clear performance contracts) Behaviours (e.g. ongoing performance dialogue) Mindsets (e.g. If it is to be, it is up to me)

What changes in behaviour do we need to breathe life into desired practices? What changes in mindsets do we need to make in order to achieve sustainable changes in behaviours?

Dig deep to identify limiting mindsets

Mindsets underpin performance

What we see and attempt to address

Individual behaviours

Performance = Potential Interference


There is always an inner game being played in your mindHow aware you are of this game can make the difference between success and failure

Mindsets and beliefs What we dont see and dont know how to address

Values Timothy Gallweys ground-breaking investigation into how people develop excellence in sporting and working contexts highlights the potential negative impact mindsets can have on performance

Hamel and Prahalads thought experiment about monkeys learnedNeeds behaviour (met or unmet) illustrates their point that past experiences can create mindsets that limit current performance

Shift employees context using the influence model

The four levers in the influence model


Role modelling
I see my leaders, colleagues, and staff behaving differently.

A compelling story
... I understand what is being asked of me and it makes sense.

I will change my mindset and behaviour if . . .


I have the skills and opportunities to behave in the new way.

I see that our structures, processes, and systems support the changes I am being asked to make.

Skills required for change

Reinforcement mechanisms

SOURCE: Scott Keller and Colin Price, Performance and Health: An evidence-based approach to transforming your organisation, 2010. McKinsey & Company

| 20

Expect and leverage irrationality

Expect the unexpected


Role modelling A compelling story

Your leaders believe they already are the change ensure they are changing as well Influence leaders are not that influential dont over-rely on them

What motivates you, does not motivate (most of) your employees tell 5 stories at once

It takes both + and - to create real energy call out both what is working and what is not

Employees are what they think address the underlying mindsets as well as the technical skills Create space for employees to practise new skills back in the workplace

Money is the most expensive way to motivate people small, unexpected gestures can have a disproportionate effect Pay careful attention to achieving fairness in processes and outcomes

Gathering evidence of change on multiple levels is key to coursecorrection along the journey and reinvigorating celebration of success
Description 4. Monitor enterprise value or shareholder value as the ultimate outcome Measure performance to ensure improvement where expected. Key metrics are business outcomes like increased revenue, decreased cost, cash flow and reduced risk Monitor key health indicators to ensure initiatives are having impact. These will be behavioural outcomes assessed through surveys, check-ins, customer forums and the like Track progress of initiatives to ensure they are delivered on time, on budget and to quality. Invest in developing an effective programme dashboard

The ten tests of organisational excellence


1 1. Do we have a compelling, widely understood, and jointly owned vision of change and set of performance targets for our organisation? Do we have a robust baseline and shared aspirations for the health of our organisation? Do we have a solid assessment of our organisations capability to deliver our change vision? Do we have insight into the root-cause mindsets that inhibit or enhance our organisations health? Do we have a concrete, balanced set of performance improvement initiatives defined to deliver our change vision? Do we have a clear plan for how to reshape our work environment to influence healthy mindsets? Do we have a well-defined scale-up model for each of the initiatives in our portfolio? Do we have a reliable method to ensure that energy for change is continually infused and unleashed during the change process? Do we have the structure, processes, systems, and people to drive continuous improvement in performance and health? 2 3 4 5
