About
Why Shared Performance Exists
Organizations do not maintain one current, authoritative representation of everything that must be achieved and how those Achievements must come together.
Instead, pieces are distributed across strategy documents, programs, projects, functions, systems, dashboards, meetings and people. Human beings are expected to interpret and reconnect them.
Shared Performance is an Achievement Management company. It provides the management discipline, process and technology for creating and maintaining that authoritative representation.
How Shared Performance Evolved
2010
Shared Performance's first product dates to 2010. The early architecture was framed around enterprise outcome management and included outcome items, resources and owners, status, time periods, access, acceptance, relationships, attachments, notes, goals, plans, incentives, reporting and organizational connections.
Enterprise Use
Long-running enterprise use changed the practical understanding of the value. Tracking outcomes was not enough. The more important problem was whether the complete set of things that must happen was present, causally connected and realistically capable of coming together.
Achievement Management
The term Outcome Management became too narrow and too dependent on different professional definitions. Achievement became the broader management object: something that must become true.
What Shared Performance Has Built
The System of Achievement is the management system combining the discipline, process, services and supporting technology required to manage achievement.
SP Attain is the software platform that sustains the System of Achievement.
At the foundation is the authoritative representation of what must be achieved, who owns it, how it causally comes together and whether it remains capable of success.
Built Through Enterprise Use and Evidence
Sustained Use
Long-duration enterprise use and repeat usage support the conclusion that the approach can be sustained over time.
Implementation Evidence
Implementation work has exposed disconnected, overdue, unsupported and weakly defined Achievements.
Independent Recognition
Experienced practitioners have repeatedly distinguished the concept after comparison with project and program management, dashboards and other methods.
