Offers, first, an approach to creative teamwork and organizational learning using enhanced tools that foster collaboration through shared space, and second, a theoretical framework called total performance management. Claims the total performance management approach provides a more effective context for applying tools already at our disposal, and that it is critical to building successful improvement programmes which deliver bottomā€line results to companies.
