Performance Designer Companion AI

What It Addresses

Performance design often collapses into a scorecard: ad hoc metrics, weak linkage to pay, and policies that do not survive rollout. This skill models a consulting workflow for enterprise performance management, turning strategy, roles, process, and incentives into reviewable deliverables such as diagnostics, KPI frameworks, appraisal plans, and policy drafts.

Workflow and Limits

The core idea is a closed loop rather than one-off scoring. Key steps include:
- Diagnosis: assess metric systems, appraisal process, outcome usage, and employee perception.
- Strategic decoding: map objectives with BSC, then extract department and role-level KPIs.
- Metric design: define names, formulas, data sources, targets, weights, and fit for executives, managers, staff, sales, and R&D.
- Appraisal plan: configure raters, cycles, grade distribution, feedback meetings, and pay-linkage recommendations.
- Policy output: produce reviewable structures, forms, and presentation assets.
It provides methodology and document scaffolding, not field research, data validation, legal compliance, or final compensation modeling; grade curves and pay coefficients still depend on headcount, industry, and budget constraints.
