Despite the fact businesses are investing more in their people than ever before, research suggests the majority of initiatives undertaken to improve their performance fail.
This is because most initiatives are either focused on one particular facet of the business meaning it only effects that aspect of the business or, it is skills based training to support specific individuals therefore it has no material impact on the organisation as a whole.
By introducing the Steel Performance System™, businesses are not only able to realise a more radical change than what conventional practices allow, but experience that change more quickly.
In short, the Steel Performance System™ supercharges organisations thereby enabling them to produce more from their existing workforce.
It is the combination of our breakthrough technology and unique deployment model that has prompted experts to describe it as the most powerful performance improvement tool ever developed.
Today, taxpayers not only want and need answers to complex social challenges, those responsible for delivering them need to be clearer about their purpose and the value they add to the communities they serve.
If you are committed to improving the outcomes your service provides, the Steel Performance System™ can help you achieve it.
We help both state services and government agencies improve the performance of their people using a unique process we initially developed for elite athletes.
Since introducing this process, executives say it has not only provided the solution they’ve been looking for, it has helped them realise a universal shift in workplace performance and engagement.
Unlike conventional training, the Steel Performance System™ changes the way your people think and ultimately how they perform.
By introducing proven performance transformation tools, the Steel Performance System™ enables organisations to not only realise a more radical change than what conventional practices allow, but experience lasting change more quickly.
In short, the Steel Performance System™ powers up public entities thereby enabling them to deliver greater value from their existing workforce.
By deploying the Steel Performance System™ in your organisation, it will help your people take a significant step forward.
In this day and age, the success of both teams and sporting organisations alike rests on their ability to win.
Today, getting ahead of the competition is top of mind for sporting administrators globally. While it’s obviously the difference between winning and losing on the day, a team’s ability to stay in front is critical to its future.
Although our process has long been considered by athletes as the best performance improvement programme on the market, the introduction of the Steel Performance System™ allows sporting bodies to transform the performance of their entire organisation.
Originally developed to help individual athletes win on the world stage, it has been refined to allow organisations to leverage our technology across their entire business.
This includes the transformation of national sporting organisations wanting to lift their profile and/or individual teams wanting to improve their international competitiveness.
If you are ready to take the performance of your organisation to the next level, The Steel Performance System™ is the answer.
The Steel Performance System™ is a business-wide framework that enables organisations to transform their productivity and competitiveness.
At its core, the Steel Performance System™ is designed to help businesses unlock the potential of their people in order to transform their performance and productivity. It acheives this by changing the way people think, thereby changing their attitude towards their work and what they are capable of producing.
Since introducing the Steel Performance System™, executives say it has not only transformed the way they operate, it has helped them realise a dramatic improvement in workplace performance and engagement.
The Steel Performance System™ consists of five interconnected frameworks that together, target the drivers of workplace performance. By deploying these frameworks sequentially, they create a cultural shift that transforms an organisation's mind-set and effectiveness.
We start by introducing our Strategic Framework to help you better align your people and activities with your strategic vision.
We then introduce the Culture Framework to help you build the high-performance culture you need to realise your strategic aspirations.
We then introduce our Leadership Framework to give your managers the tools and confidence to optimise the performance of their workgroups.
We then introduce our Capability Framework to equip your staff with the tools to perform to their potential using the technology we developed for elite athletes.
Finally, we introduce our Performance Management Framework to help your people deliver the outcomes you are seeking from their role.
The Steel Performance System™ offers a breakthrough in workforce management. Because it is a ‘leader-led’ process, it positions your managers as the drivers of the programme thereby enabling them to lead the culture change you are looking for throughout their workgroups.
Because the introduction of each framework produces a ‘step-change’ in performance in its own right, the Steel Performance System™ is typically rolled out over a three-year period. This includes a 3-6 month preparation phase followed by the deployment of one framework every six months until all five frameworks are in place. This timeframe not only allows you to embed each framework without disrupting daily operations, it ensures they deliver the outcomes you are after on a continuing basis.
To maximise the impact of each framework, we deploy them top down using a combination of performance workshops and team based activities to ensure participants understand how to apply the technology in their daily work. In addition to this, we provide powerful online tools to ensure their uptake of the technology eclipses all that you and they have experienced before.
An unrivalled insight into the factors that govern human performance.
A world-leading process to improve performance at every level of your business.
A highly differentiated way to attract, develop and retain talent.
The Steel Performance System™ has been tested in virtually every sector including science, engineering, telecommunications, banking, construction, manufacturing, education and law.
More than 20 years of research, 20 world cup and world championship titles, and over 20,000 hours of continual refinement have enabled us to build a process that revolutionises workplace performance.
The New Zealand Police commissioned us to help them transform the performance of its 12,500 staff following a public tender to provide an organisation-wide high performance framework. The programme commenced in December 2015 and will be rolled out to all 12,500 Police employees over three years. Experts have described the Policing programme as one of the biggest and most important transformation programmes in New Zealand's history.
Fonterra Brands invited us to help them improve the performance of its 1,300 employees following a strategic review in February 2008. Once the strategic platform was agreed, we deployed our system to help them transform all seven national sites. The introduction of the Steel Performance System™ resulted in an unprecedented improvement in staff performance and engagement, a 20% increase in market share, an increase in innovation raised revenue from 2% to 16%, profit growth of over 30% and an improvement in Fonterra Brands’ health and safety status from one of Fonterra’s worst performers to one of its best.
Tip Top commissioned us to help them deliver a step-change in performance following a strategic review of its operation in 2004. This led to a business-wide deployment of our Steel Performance System™ which resulted in a significant shift in workplace performance and productivity. The improvements Tip Top made prompted Fonterra to hand the running of Peters & Brown Ice Cream Company in Australia to them before the entire business was folded under Fonterra Brands New Zealand to maximise efficiencies across the group. The Tip Top programme led to the invitation to assist Fonterra Brands in 2008.
UBank is an independent digital only bank owned by the National Australia Bank. After working through a rebranding exercise, the leadership team commissioned us to help them drive the transformation programme they were after to realise the banks potential. UBank’s vision to be 'Australia’s most referred brand’ requires a high degree of staff engagement; hence its people are seen by the leadership team to be the key to its long-term success. UBank’s leadership team selected SPS because they believed our process will give their people the tools to out-perform their competitors.
The HCC commissioned us following a public tender process to help them improve workplace performance and engagement. Although its staff of 1,000 are both competent and productive, the Senior Leadership Team believed they had the potential to add even greater value to the ratepayers of Hamilton hence they agreed to proceed with a performance transformation programme. After going to market, they believed our end-to-end process offered the most powerful way to achieve the transformational outcomes they were after.
We were invited to help Fronde Systems Group improve its workplace performance and engagement in January 2007 following a decline in investor confidence. After helping the organisation create and embed a new strategy, we deployed our Steel Performance System™ across the business. This led to revenue growth each year thereafter hitting 100% in 2012. They increased profilt by 145% in 2013. They also delivered the second highest Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) in the IT sector (166.8%) the same year and achieved the 3rd highest rating in New Zealand’s 'Top Ten Companies to Watch’ list (TIN) the same year.

Craig is a veteran of the performance industry and considered by many to be Australasia’s foremost performance expert.
Two decades ago, Craig made one of the greatest breakthroughs in international sport by discovering why and how athletes capitulate.
The effectiveness of his findings were immediate, prompting athletes across multiple sports to adopt his system to help them compete on the world stage. Since introducing his system, the athletes Craig has assisted have amassed over 20 World-Cup and World Championship titles between them.
Following his success with sports people, a number of New Zealand’s most respected business leaders asked Craig if he could do for them what he was doing for athletes.
This gave Craig the opportunity to test his system in a commercial setting. The first organisation that applied it increased its sales by 407% in four months; proving it could be applied to business.
Since then, the Steel Performance System™ has proven to be up to 10 times more effective than conventional best practice; hence it’s considered by many to be the best performance improvement tool ever developed.
