Principle

Performance requires the right conditions

Connect the demands of the purpose with the conditions people and teams need to perform, develop and thrive over time.

Why performance matters

Performance connects people and the organisation.

Organisational results are created through people’s performance, individually and together. For the organisation, performance is the route to quality, development and results. For the individual, it is an opportunity to contribute, use their competence and succeed in a meaningful purpose.

Performance therefore needs to be understood as something that matters to both. When people succeed in their work, the organisation’s ability to create value grows, while people develop, experience meaning and enjoy greater wellbeing.

What sustainable performance means

Succeeding in the purpose – in a way that can be sustained over time.

Performance is more than activity and a fast pace. It is about achieving what the purpose requires, with the right quality and through work in which people can contribute, develop and thrive.

01

The organisation

Results and value are created.

When people and teams succeed in the purpose, quality, goal attainment, customer satisfaction and the organisation’s capacity to develop are strengthened.

02

The individual

Competence becomes contribution.

Being able to contribute, see results, use one’s judgement and develop through work creates meaning, engagement and wellbeing.

03

Over time

Performance becomes sustainable.

When results and people’s needs are considered together, the organisation can perform without depleting the energy on which its results depend.

Connection to Verksamhetsskap

The method reveals what performance requires.

In Verksamhetsskap®, performance is connected to people’s conditions. The Agerus method brings them together as Want, Know, Can, May and Should. Together, they reveal whether people and teams have what they need to succeed in the purpose.

By exploring the conditions together, the organisation can distinguish between different kinds of obstacles and direct development where it is needed: towards clarity of purpose, motivation, competence, resources, room to act or responsibility.
