Because influence still matters when control is out of reach.
Full control may be elusive at today’s pace, but organizations can still steer performance through the influence they hold. Through the PuMP Blueprint, we help leaders and teams strengthen decision-making, translate strategy into execution, and guide performance over time.
Refined over nearly three decades of global use, PuMP is a practical, evidence-based discipline for managing performance through results, not activity. It helps teams and leaders define success clearly, design meaningful measures, and use them to support decisions, execution, and course correction.
Programs to steer performance through results.
We offer three programs that address performance at different levels and tempos to support leaders and teams in guiding performance over time.
PuMP Lite offers an agile way to apply results-based measurement to a focused goal or small set of KPIs. PuMP Implementer builds a robust, organization-wide performance management discipline. Evidence-Based Leadership (EBL) helps leaders lead strategy with evidence.
When performance reveals the need for coherence.
Performance management is powerful because it makes reality visible. When results improve, it shows what is working. When results stall despite effort, performance measures often reveal deeper issues. This is where our consulting work comes in.
We help leaders restore coherence by creating a tight fit between strategy and the few differentiated capabilities that truly matter. By aligning direction, capabilities, and execution—and reinforcing them with focused performance management—organizations reduce friction, concentrate investment where it counts, and create the conditions for reliable, sustainable improvement.
