Performance consulting is a \u201cstrategic process that produces business results by optimizing the performance of people and the organizations in which they work.\u201d<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus on results\u2014not solutions<\/h2><p>Performance consulting encourages L&amp;D teams to be more holistic and more strategic in how they think about their work. With a performance consulting mindset, a learning leader examines \u201cwhat are the results that my client really needs to achieve\u201d\u2014and only then begins to think about what solution, or set of solutions, could enable the workers to achieve those results, Adams said.<\/p><p>This starts with the stakeholders who \u201cown\u201d key business goals and needs.<\/p><p>A performance consultant will conduct analysis: What are those <a href=\"\/articles\/target-business-goals-with-measurable-learning-objectives\/\">business goals and needs<\/a>? What is current performance, and what is the gap between current performance and the goal?<\/p><p>Once gaps are identified, the next step is identifying the root cause or causes of the gaps. Any specific solution might address one root cause\u2014but it&#8217;s often the case that a performance consultant will suggest \u201cset of solutions aligned to address those root causes,\u201d Adams said.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategic partnerships &amp; relationship building<\/h2><p>Moving from \u201corder takers\u201d who deliver solutions to strategic partners who suggest broad sets of solutions to resolve problems and enable improved performance is not always a simple or quick process.<\/p><p>Learning leaders need to <a href=\"\/articles\/show-leadership-by-building-cross-departmental-relationships\/\">build trust with key stakeholders<\/a>. These relationships make it possible for learning leaders to gain a broad, holistic understanding of the organization and its needs. Building trust over time also positions the L&amp;D leader to ask essential questions to get at the root causes of <a href=\"\/articles\/does-your-ld-team-need-more-ts\/\">performance or skill gaps<\/a>.<\/p><p>Adams shared experience of asking those questions, being brushed off, then\u2014after additional projects and conversations that strengthened the relationship\u2014being invited by stakeholders to have the deeper conversation, to strategize with senior leaders about the right solutions to critical problems.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Active listening &amp; other essential skills<\/h2><p>Successful performance consulting relies on power skills learning leaders have likely honed as they gained experience and influence within L&amp;D, communications skills chief among them.<\/p><p>Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with senior leaders and key stakeholders requires the ability to <a href=\"\/articles\/can-skills-frameworks-close-the-skills-to-performance-gap-\/\">clearly communicate<\/a> about problems and solutions, provide and receive feedback, negotiate parameters of solutions, timelines, and project scope\u2014and more.<\/p><p>Active listening is important. Asking the right questions\u2014and follow-up questions\u2014of the right people will lead the performance consultant to a deeper understanding of how things are currently operating and how and why the current environment might be contributing to any gaps in performance or results.<\/p><p><a href=\"\/articles\/learning-leaders-allison-rossett-on-performance-support-and-critical-thinking-\/\">Critical thinking skills<\/a> are also essential\u2014to identify gaps, link the gaps to root causes, and come up with solutions. Those communication skills then again are handy to diplomatically communicate the environmental and cultural contributors to critical problems and suggest solutions\u2014after all, training is not a solution to every kind of problem.<\/p><p>Finally, data skills. The performance consultant will need both current performance metrics and a way to measure results as solutions are implemented and after new processes are in place.<\/p><p>At the front end, a performance consultant might gather data by talking to top performers, Adams said\u2014and to their managers. Looking for behaviors that set star performers apart from more typical performers can provide \u2018should&#8217; data, according to Adams: What the best people do differently or more often or less often than others in the same role provides insight into how to improve overall performance. It also provides context for conversations with stakeholders about potential solutions.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn more about performance consulting<\/h2><p>Join Christopher Adams, Amber Boyd, and Frank Nguyen at an all-day seminar on the 3 Pillars of Learning Leadership.
