Performance Intervention

Turn diagnosis into action

Understanding the problem is only useful if the organization is prepared to act.

Performance Intervention is designed for leadership teams that have identified important organizational or operational issues and want to resolve them directly.

Chordelis works alongside senior leaders to help structure the intervention, establish priorities, challenge assumptions, facilitate difficult discussions and maintain momentum.

The leadership team remains responsible for decisions and implementation.

This is a fundamental part of the Chordelis approach.

We do not take the problem away from management. We help management resolve the problem more effectively.

An intervention may focus on areas such as:

  • Organizational effectiveness

  • Accountability and decision-making

  • Cross-functional performance

  • Execution bottlenecks

  • Cost and productivity improvement

  • Resource effectiveness

  • Project performance

  • Operational performance

  • Management processes

  • Leadership alignment

  • Organizational interfaces

  • Performance discipline

  • Implementation of agreed organizational changes

The exact scope depends on the situation. Some interventions may involve the entire leadership team, while others may focus on one business unit, function, project or specific performance issue.

How the intervention works

The emphasis is on a small number of high-impact priorities rather than a long list of initiatives.

Chordelis may support the leadership team by:

  • Clarifying the problem and desired outcome

  • Establishing facts and challenging assumptions

  • Identifying the critical few priorities

  • Structuring decisions and action plans

  • Facilitating management discussions

  • Clarifying ownership and accountability

  • Removing organizational barriers

  • Establishing practical performance measures

  • Reviewing progress with leadership

  • Challenging delays, avoidance or loss of focus

  • Adjusting actions as new information emerges

The objective is not simply to produce recommendations.

The objective is to improve performance.
