Live Online Leading and Managing Organizational Performance Training
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Strategies fail most often in execution, when goals set at the top never translate into clear expectations for the departments and people expected to deliver them. The week starts with turning strategy into measurable organisational performance and the link between strategic objectives, results and resources. You then apply the balanced scorecard and OKR frameworks, cascading KPIs from corporate level to teams and individuals without losing coherence. A full day is spent designing a performance review cycle, from goal setting and quarterly check-ins to calibration and year-end assessment.
Recognition systems that reinforce desired behaviour are paired with practical approaches to underperformance and difficult decisions such as improvement plans or exits. The final day examines using performance data in dashboards and reviews, and sustaining a culture where accountability is expected rather than feared. Exercises use a case organisation with misaligned targets and inconsistent appraisals. Senior and middle managers, HR business partners, strategy officers and heads of department will find the frameworks practical. You return with a cascaded scorecard for your unit and a review calendar ready to implement.

About this course
Many organisations run performance appraisals that have little connection to strategic goals, producing paperwork without improving results. This course fixes that disconnect, covering how to cascade strategic objectives into department and individual KPIs using tools such as the balanced scorecard and objectives-and-key-results (OKR) frameworks, and how to build a performance review cycle that drives real accountability.
Participants also address the cultural side of performance management - recognition systems, addressing chronic underperformance fairly, and sustaining momentum after the annual review is over - using cases from both public and private sector organisations.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how leading and managing organizational performance is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for balanced scorecard, okrs, and cascading kpis, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
