In-house PuMP Blueprint Workshop

The PuMP Blueprint Workshop provides KPI training based on proven how-to techniques to design, align, implement, report and use performance measures to improve performance and reach targets.

Training a team of performance measurement champions in your organisation in PuMP will transform your organisation’s ability to meaningfully measure the results that really matter, and get everyone aligned to achieve them.

“I contracted Stacey to deliver a number of training programs for the Department… I cannot speak highly enough of Stacey and her PuMP Blueprint. There is a lack of good quality performance measurement training in Australia and I highly recommend Stacey’s training as the best in the business.” — Melinda Varley, Director Business Performance Management, Australian Public Service

Get people engaged in and aligned to your strategy.

The key to a high-performance culture is meaningful measurement. Done well, it powerfully focuses, aligns, and engages everyone in executing your organisation’s strategy and improving what matters.

Performance measurement isn’t about brainstorming or buying industry KPIs off the shelf. It’s not about holding people accountable, either. Proper performance measurement is about closing performance gaps with evidence-led decisions and actions.

Proper performance measurement isn’t what most people are used to, however.

Measuring performance can be easier, faster, more meaningful and more engaging.

Most of us – executives, managers, strategy or performance professionals, and analysts – struggle to measure what matters, and measure it well. And our struggles are, surprisingly, universal. We struggle to:

Easily find meaningful measures
Get true buy-in to performance measurement
Strongly align measures to strategy
Measure intangible goals
Use measures to improve and reach targets

We all want performance measures that catalyse a high-performance culture, one that reaches goals, continually improves performance, and achieves excellence.

To have this, we can eliminate the causes of these struggles with techniques that really work!

The PuMP techniques replace bad KPI habits.

In the absence of a proper performance measurement methodology, some bad KPI habits have become common practice. Some of the bad KPI habits are:

Brainstorming KPIs and measures
Writing goals with weasel words
Not giving people ownership of measures
Measuring the performance of people
Rushing too quickly to build dashboards

The PuMP Blueprint was designed to replace these bad KPI habits with techniques that work, without struggle.

PuMP has been proven over 20 years (around the world, in all sectors and hundreds of industries) as a practical and engaging method to measure what matters.

With PuMP, organisational performance transforms.

Measuring with PuMP as your guide means:

You reach more targets (that matter), sooner and with less effort.
You get a higher rate of return on every improvement initiative.
You build a performance culture, where people are fully engaged in the part they play in fulfilling the mission and pursuing the vision.

“PuMP is a great program. It’s making it very easy for us to develop meaningful measures for our organisation.” — Amanda Kent, Public Service Department, New Zealand

Get KPI know-how and can-do.

The PuMP Blueprint Workshop teaches the how-to techniques of a deliberate and proven performance measurement methodology.

The workshop focuses on practical techniques, logical templates, real-life case studies, engaging interaction, and time for practice with expert coaching. You will:

Make your strategy measurable and easier to communicate and cascade
Select and design performance measures that are meaningful, quantitative, and feasible
Get buy-in from staff and stakeholders to own performance measurement and improvement
Bring your measures to life, using the right data and with the right ownership
Clearly see the real signals from your measures about whether performance is improving or not
Design insightful reports and dashboards that focus discussion on improvement actions
Reach your performance targets, with strong alignment between measures, goals and actions

Each participant can earn professional PuMP Certification with APMG

PuMP is certified by APMG, the world’s leading accreditation and exam institute for professional certifications. You can read more at the APMG PuMP Certification information page.

On-site or online – it’s your choice.

We can deliver your private PuMP Blueprint Workshop, for 10 to 30 of your colleagues, in one of three ways, to suit your needs:

3 full consecutive days on-site (at your venue)
3 full days online (with Zoom)
5 half-days online (with Zoom)

For both our on-site workshops and online workshops, we design the experience for high engagement, personal interaction, and group collaboration. However, we do find that the best learning outcomes come from the third option, our 5 half-days delivered online. It allows for better digestion of learnings, and also managing alongside the day-to-day work that’s hard to put on hold for 3 full days.

“The workshop was brilliantly paced – normally on other full day workshops one can struggle to retain attention whereas at PuMP the pace was a good mix of listen, learn and apply steps, then break cycle. The experience I had reflects the feedback I have read of predecessors with me feeling fired up and champing at the bit to get on.” – Steve Holley MBA BEng, Head of ICT Customer and Business Support, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

About PuMP’s creator, Stacey Barr

Stacey Barr is an evidence-based leadership and organisational performance measurement specialist. She is the author of two books, Practical Performance Measurement and Prove It!

Stacey created PuMP in the 1990s, when she worked in the corporate world, to overcome her own struggles with how to measure performance.

Since then, Stacey discovered that her struggles were common for almost everyone else, regardless of their sector, industry or country. And PuMP quickly became a world-renowned methodology for practical and meaningful performance measurement.

She is known especially for her practicality, and the way she takes abstract concepts like measurement and makes them clear, logical, engaging, and easy to apply.

“Your PuMP methodology is the most comprehensive and pragmatic performance management methodology published today.” – Jack Spain, Director of Strategy & Business Development, SchoolDude, USA
