Performance Management for IT & Technical People
During the early dot-com boom, many businesses neglected real performance management, forcing busy tech managers to focus on tasks rather than essential behaviours. The same thing is happening with the tech and AI boom today, often creating siloed departments and misaligned incentives.
A New Kind of Performance Management Training for Technical People
Today, a breakthrough in-house workshop has emerged to transform the way IT and non-IT professionals collaborate. Developed by an organisational psychologist, this tailored program enhances communication, refines critical skills, and unifies teams around shared objectives. By dismantling silos and prioritising both technical delivery and interpersonal dynamics, participants learn how to streamline workflows, reduce tension, and create a truly seamless service. The result? Immediate, measurable improvements in productivity and cohesion that help your organisation thrive in a digital-first landscape.

Course Description
With the dot com boom, organisations were too busy to performance manage IT and technical people. The performance management task was left to the IT manager, who was often technically minded and had very little spare time for this crucial task. Rewards and bonuses were tied to task achievements with little linkage to behavioural guidelines.
So how do you pull in the reins of IT and technical people and get them to deliver important tasks without having to jump over mountains? Surely they should behave like other internal departments and deliver a seamless service. If you consider the key departments in most organisations, the IT Department is still a relative newcomer. There is no doubt the rapid influx of IT people brought a wave of breakthrough advancements to organisations, but in many cases this breakneck speed led to short-cuts in performance management.
Designed by an organisational psychologist, this is a breakthrough practical course to break open and level any IT and/or Technical silos in your organisation. This unique course helps unite participants behind the organisation’s objectives. The target audience is ideally a mix of IT and non IT people and helps flesh out the day to day difficulties that arise. You’ll notice an immediate workplace improvement as your IT and technical people meet the organisations expectations and objectives. Your non IT people get a better understanding too of how they “inadvertently” cause bottlenecks and tension.
