I am working with a company (120 staff)who are in a fast paced, precision production environment. They want to implement a straight forward performance management system that reflects the team environment in which they work. They want it to have a forward focussed approach which drives their development and improvement. In particular they want it to reflect their three core values of quality, speed and customer service. They have no system at present and we are currently focussed on developing a degree of congruency across the business (which is multi site) along with a consistency of management skills – particularly in relation to the management of people.

I have several ideas that I am currently working through but would like to hear from people who have implemented performance managment in a company of this size, people who have experience in future focussed performance managment in a fast paced environment and anyone who has ideas which I can throw in the mix along with my own.
