day 1
The Bankruptcy of the Traditional Model: Why Annual Appraisals Are Obsolete?
    • Content: Critical analysis of the drawbacks of traditional appraisals (halo effect, bias, time lag). The philosophy of shifting to a “Continuous Growth Model” based on real-time development.
    • Activity: Group discussion of participants’ personal experiences with traditional appraisal systems and identifying their shortcomings.
day 2
Engineering the Effective Feedback Loop
    • Content: Designing a “Constructive Feedback Framework” that focuses on behavior, impact, and future improvement, rather than personality. Skills for giving and receiving feedback.
    • Activity: Intensive role-playing exercises to practice giving and receiving feedback based on challenging real-world scenarios.
day 3
Regular Check-ins: The Heart of the New System
    • Content: Designing and implementing structured yet flexible “Regular Check-in” conversations between managers and employees, focusing on progress toward goals, challenges, and required support, rather than rating.
    • Activity: Developing a checklist and a flexible template for check-in sessions relevant to the participant’s organization.
day 4
360-Degree Feedback as a Development Tool (Not for Rating)
    • Content: Effectively using “360-Degree Feedback” as a tool for self-development and understanding leadership impact, not for comparison or reward. How to analyze 360 results and create personal development plans.
    • Activity: Analyzing a sample 360-degree feedback report and drafting an individual development plan based on it.
day 5
Fairly Linking Development to Reward in the New System
    • Content: How to make fair compensation and promotion decisions in a non-ranking system. Using a “Contribution Maturity Model” that flexibly measures the value, scope, and impact of an employee’s contribution.
    • Activity: Case studies of hypothetical employees, applying the Contribution Maturity Model to determine appropriate rewards.

Overall Goal: To enable participants to design and implement a modern performance management system based on continuous feedback and immediate development, replacing the traditional model of annual ratings and reviews, to drive continuous growth for employees and organizational performance.
