Upgrade your company culture and performance.
Are you starting an agile transition, or is it at a standstill? This is Performance is here to help you get on track. Change and goal-oriented work are skills that can be developed. Together, we upgrade your organizational culture and performance.
An organization’s ability to be flexible and future-ready depends on various factors. It starts with formulating a clear vision and setting specific goals. The next step is translating strategy into execution, tracking progress, and adjusting goals as necessary. It is crucial to involve teams from the start of this journey. Effective communication, collaboration, co-creation, and engagement are essential in this process.
Change management involves both hard and soft aspects. It’s about rules and agreements, human behavior, and informal networks. Without employee buy-in, change cannot progress. This is Performance tackles both sides comprehensively. Effective Performance Management requires a strategy for people-centered change.
Using the OKR method, we have shaped and supported many major (agile) transitions. OKR stands for Objectives (goals) and Key Results and is designed to set and measure goals within an organization. This methodology is used by leading companies, including Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Uber. Increasingly, Dutch organizations are also embracing the framework.
This is Performance has obtained the exclusive license from OKR-institute.org for the Benelux region. In our training program, you will learn how to set the right OKRs with your team, how to formulate them, and how to make progress visible ("measure what matters"). You will also learn how to align OKRs with your organizational goals and strategy and adjust them as necessary.
Additionally, we provide on-site consultancy, coaching, and advice on (agile) organizational development, using the OKR method as the foundation. You’ll learn to design, implement, or revitalize major change plans. The OKR method does not replace existing frameworks, such as SAFe or LEAN, but instead acts as the glue that ties elements of existing frameworks together. If you do not yet have a fixed method, OKRs offer a strong starting framework that can also be used as a stand-alone solution. This is Performance has extensive knowledge and expertise in strategic organizational development.

The autonomy of teams and employees plays a key role in organizational agility. Employees should have the freedom and responsibility to make decisions and take action without constant direct supervision. Organizational changes mustn’t be disruptive but aligned with the organization’s culture. Change should be seen as an ongoing process. This is Performance provides tools for managing these changes sustainably, empowering transitions independently, and minimizing dependency on external parties.
We use Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to translate and communicate strategy into action. OKRs are designed to be inspiring and challenging, leading to growth and improvement. They help organizations remain relevant in a fast-changing environment. This is Performance holds an exclusive license for the OKR training program in the Benelux region. But we are more than just a training provider. We are the authority in consulting, advising, and coaching in organizational development and change, utilizing OKRs. Our mission is to support organizations in building strong teams sustainably.
The OKR licensing program provides an essential theoretical foundation for a successful transition. As a GOLD partner of the OKR Institute, we offer four certifications: Foundations, Practitioner, Leader, and Professional. We offer in-company training, workshops, and both online and offline courses. We collaborate with our partners, Xebia Academy and Epic Agility.
