The blind spots in your performance decisions

Most performance processes measure activity, not capability. The result: decisions built on impressions, not evidence.

01

Manager subjectivity drives everything

Criteria exist, but evaluations are filtered through each manager's lens — biased by recency, visibility, and personal dynamics.

02

Evaluations aren't comparable

Team A in London uses different standards than Team B in New York. No way to benchmark or calibrate across the organization.

03

Negative KPIs ≠ individual failure

How do you tell whether a poor result reflects individual performance or management quality? Without objective competency data, you can't.
