The operation and development of an enterprise is a series of process of solving problems. The effect of solving problems will directly determine the efficiency of an enterprise. Solving problems does not rely solely on experience, let alone on a flash of inspiration to solve, there must be a set of methods that can be replicated. Because in the industrial age, a few "smart people" made decisions and other "robots" followed the instructions. However, in the current era of VUCA, each team member is a "wisdom cloud", far smarter than us, and they need more participation. In the process of solving problems, there is no consensus without participation, no commitment without consensus, no responsibility without commitment, no responsibility without implementation, and no result without implementation.

企业的运营与发展就是一系列解决问题的过程，问题解决的效果将直接决定着企业的效益；解决问题不是单单依靠经验，更不是靠拍脑袋、灵光一现来解决，一定需要一套可以复制的方法。因为在工业时代，少数“聪明人”决策，其他“机器人”按照指令执行。而在当下这个 VUCA 时代，每位团队成员都是一朵“智慧云”，远比我们聪明，他们要更多的参与，在解决问题的过程中，没有参与就没有共识，没有共识就没有承诺，没有承诺就没有责任，没有责任就没有执行，没有执行就没有结果。

[Introduction]

When it comes to performance management, most people think of KPI first. However, due to various reasons, most people's perception of KPI is negative. In recent years, many companies are trying to find an alternative tool for KPI, so OKR begins to get attention. As a performance management tool, OKR has been widely used in Intel, Google and other companies as early as the 1990s, and has produced good results in these companies. But why has OKR not been paid more attention and considered as an alternative to KPI until these years? In addition, recently, it has been rumored that Google will replace OKR with a new performance management method called GRAD, which is more focused on tracking employee growth, learning and progress. Why?

People's negative cognition of KPI mainly comes from two aspects: one is most people only pay attention to some points of KPI in application, which makes the performance management system behind KPI fail to play its due effect; another is with the improvement of people's knowledge level and enterprises' dependence on talents, some factors of performance management system are also changing. The most important point is to pay more attention to the growth of talents, but most people's understanding of performance management is still stuck in a dozen or even decades ago.

Based on years of research and consulting practice, combined with the traditional idea of performance management and the transformation of the current enterprise environment, we put forward the C-PDCA-S model of high order performance management. From awareness and cognition, to operation mechanism, and then to the connection with talent development, performance management shows a new panorama that attaches more importance to talent development and puts people first. We believe that as long as all points in this panorama are combined to exert the overall effect, performance management system can play the maximum value.

【课程简介】

谈到绩效管理，大多数人首先想到的是 KPI，但是因为种种原因大多数人对 KPI 的认知是负面的，近几年很多公司都在尝试寻找 KPI 的替代工具，于是 OKR 开始受到关注，其实，OKR 作为一种绩效管理的工具早在上世纪九十年代已经在英特尔、谷歌等公司获得广泛的应用，并在这些公司产生了不错的效果，但是为什么直到这几年 OKR 才被更多的关注并被认为可以替代 KPI 呢？另一方面，近期，谷歌内部传出要用被称为 GRAD 这个更专注于跟进员工的成长、学习和进步的新绩效管理方式替代 OKR，这又是为什么呢？

人们对 KPI 的负面认知主要来自两个方面：一是多数人在实际运用中只是注重 KPI 的某些点，而使得 KPI 背后的绩效管理体系没有发挥出应有的效果；二是随着人们知识水平的提高，以及企业对人才依赖，绩效管理体系的一些因素也正在发生变化，这里面最重要的点是更关注人才的成长，但是多数人对绩效管理的认识还停留在十几甚至几十年前。

在多年的研究和咨询实践基础上，结合传统绩效管理的思想以及当前企业环境的转变，我们提出了高阶绩效管理——绩效赋能体系的 C-PDCA-S 模型，从实施绩效管理应具备的意识和认知，到绩效管理的运行机制，再到同人才发展的对接展示了一张更重视人才发展、以人为本的新绩效管理全景图，我们相信，只要这张全景图中的所有点结合在一起发挥整体效应，绩效管理体系就能发挥最大价值。
