Objective of the Article
For intentions to be transformed into results, you have to select the right processes
Align strategic ambitions with practical processes to accomplish worthwhile results
Guiding Principles
I found the article to be a “must read” for novice Performance Consultants; having a model or concept relating to performance design in mind when entering the industry is a definite asset. The article succeeded in helping me frame the questions I had regarding: how to leverage the findings of a performance diagnosis or assessment, to design performance solutions that produced results?
Position
Performance is a combination of both behaviors (what people do) and performance (what people leave behind).
Performance improvement is the results to be accomplished; you need to stay focused on performance before you make any decisions about how those results can best be accomplished.
What is Performance?
Performance Objectives define the results you wish to accomplish based on your analysis of the strategic ambitions of the organization.
Accomplishing these results is determined by the set of performance technologies that you select for implementation.

Planning for Performance
Critical for deciding which performance technologies should be selected, designed, developed, and implemented
Performance Technology Assessment
Should not focus solely on problems, root causes, or quick-fix solutions, but also identify factors that will strengthen or increase results.
Performance Technology Analysis
For performance technologies to accomplish valuable results, you must identify, evaluate, and select the right mix of activities. Use a systematic and comprehensive process to identify the many performance technologies available for accomplishing each performance objectives
Performances Technologies Selection
Confirm that the selected mix of performance technologies is adequately aligned with the desired results
&Verify that each performance technology is clearly linked to the results of the performance analysis and the performance objectives
