PuMP Implementer is a hands-on, guided approach to building a robust evidence-based performance management discipline. It helps organizations clearly define what success means, design meaningful measures aligned with strategic priorities, and use performance evidence to steer decisions, execution, and improvement over time.

Rather than tracking activity or producing reports after the fact, PuMP Implementer focuses on results — the real-world changes that show whether strategy is working. It supports leaders and teams in using evidence to make deliberate choices, maintain focus, and adjust course as performance evolves, strengthening confidence and control over outcomes.

Who It’s For

PuMP Implementer is designed for organizations that want performance management to become a leadership capability, not a reporting function or a one-off initiative. It is well suited when:

• Leaders want clear evidence of whether strategy is delivering results
• Performance measures need to guide decisions, not just explain the past
• Execution spans multiple teams or priorities and requires coherence
• There is a desire to build a disciplined, sustainable approach to performance management

This is for organizations ready to move beyond incremental improvements to existing metrics and establish a results-driven way of steering performance over time.

How It Works

PuMP Implementer applies the full PuMP discipline to real strategic goals through a structured, repeatable process. Leaders and teams work step by step to define results, design measures, and embed performance evidence into how decisions are made.

The work focuses on:

• Defining strategy in terms of clear, real-world results
• Designing a small number of meaningful measures that reflect those results
• Building confidence in the data behind the measures
• Using evidence to guide priorities, learning, and improvement

The emphasis is not on dashboards or reporting, but on creating performance evidence that leaders actively use to steer.

What You Get

PuMP Implementer builds more than a set of measures. It establishes the conditions needed to manage performance with confidence and discipline. Organizations gain:

• Shared clarity about what truly matters
• Meaningful performance measures aligned with strategic intent
• Reliable evidence to support decisions and trade-offs
• Stronger alignment between strategy and execution
• Sustained progress guided by evidence, not intuition

What changes is not only what is measured, but how performance is led and improved over time.

Why It Matters

Many organizations measure what is easy rather than what is meaningful. As a result, performance information often explains the past without helping leaders shape the future.

PuMP Implementer restores the purpose of performance management: to prove results and to improve them. When performance is defined in terms of outcomes and managed through evidence, organizations gain clarity, alignment, and the ability to sustain progress even as conditions change.

How It Fits

PuMP Implementer strengthens existing strategy and execution approaches such as OKRs, Balanced Scorecard, or other management frameworks. It does not replace them. It ensures that goals are defined as results and supported by measures that truly matter.

Delivered through facilitation, coaching, and hands-on application, the work is adapted to your context while preserving the integrity of the PuMP discipline. The result is a performance management capability that leaders can rely on—not a system that depends on reporting cycles or individual effort.
