Evidence from practice

Applied in demanding real-world environments.

PERFORM has been used in materially different organisational settings where capability had to transfer into work and where outcomes could be observed and measured. The case studies below report the results achieved in those assignments.

Manufacturing production line
Manufacturing transformation

Capability development linked to a major change in first-line supervision.

An 18-month PERFORM programme supported 24 newly configured line-leader roles within an 800-employee manufacturing site.

£1.2m reported financial gain
50% reduction in manufacturing waste
Programme subsequently extended
