Redesigning Performance & Feedback
A modern performance system is a continuous management process.
Principle: AI should increase the quality and speed of human work without quietly taking over high-stakes judgment.
Implementation sequence
- Clarify outcomes and observable behaviors.
- Use short feedback loops.
- Use AI for summarization, pattern detection and coaching prompts—not final people judgments.
- Train managers in evidence-based feedback.
- Connect performance to development and mobility.
Human + AI boundary
Automate routine work where downside is low and measurement is clear. Use AI for analysis and decision support where it improves evidence. Keep final accountability, empathy, ethical judgment and sensitive people decisions with qualified humans.
