Challenges

Why performance dialogues regularly miss the mark

Despite their potential, performance dialogues often fall short, lacking the structure and insights needed to drive real change.

Challenge 01

Inconsistent and superficial conversations:

Managers often lack the training or tools to hold frequent, impactful dialogues.

Challenge 02

Task-focused rather than strategic:

Discussions get stuck on day-to-day tasks, missing opportunities for strategic alignment and growth.

Challenge 03

Data overload or insufficient insights:

Without integrated systems, performance conversations are based on outdated or fragmented information.

Challenge 04

Cultural resistance to open feedback:

Creating a culture of transparent and constructive feedback remains a significant challenge.

“Traditional performance reviews can cost large organisations more than $30 million.”
