How Leading Organizations are Redefining Performance Management
Performance management is overdue for evolution. Traditional review cycles weren’t built for the pace of today’s work and performance is now defined by how effectively organizations enable people to learn, adapt, grow, and apply skills in real time.
During this session, Lena Finch, VP of People & Culture at Allego, shared how leading organizations are redefining performance by linking performance expectations directly to skills, coaching, and day-to-day work. She explored how to:
- Connect performance expectations to skills-based development and meaningful career growth
- Enable managers to consistently coach, develop, and reinforce learning
- Translate learning into real-world behaviors that drive measurable business impact
- Move beyond one-size-fits-all models toward adaptive, people-centered performance practices
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for building a performance culture that balances accountability with growth and turns development into measurable impact.
