Put performance into everyday management.

We start by understanding how your business works. Then we help your managers set expectations, discuss progress and address problems, with support as they put it into practice.

Five stages

The Performance Picture is a stand-alone assessment. The implementation stages start after you choose to proceed; Build and Run it together overlap.

  1. 01

    See clearly · ten working days

    We interview you and your managers, gather anonymous staff responses and review your records. Your Performance Picture sets out the findings and recommended priorities.

    Your part: about 2½ hours across the kick-off, interview and readout. Each manager gives 45 minutes; each staff member around five minutes.

    At the end: you decide whether to act on the findings yourselves or commission an implementation engagement.

  2. 02

    Build · weeks 1–3

    We work with your leadership team to agree business goals, then with each manager to set expectations for the roles in their team. We prepare your performance policy, improvement-plan format and workspace.

    Your part: a half-day leadership session, followed by work with managers on role expectations.

    At the end: expectations are written, explained and ready to use.

  3. 03

    Run it together · weeks 2–12

    We deliver five short training modules for founders, managers, staff and HR, and support the first expectation conversations, check-ins, team meetings and monthly founder review.

    Your part: managers lead the conversations; you act on decisions that need your authority.

    At the end: managers can run the first performance period with the records and guidance they need.

  4. 04

    Step back · months 4–6

    Your managers and HR take over the routine. Talentos reviews how it is working and helps address gaps.

    At the end: the person responsible for coordination has completed two quality checks independently.

  5. 05

    Check it lasts · months 6, 12 and 24

    PACE Checks reassess the same six conditions and baseline measures. You see what has held, what has slipped and what needs attention.
