THE MANIFESTO

A manifesto

for flourishing at work [MVP V1.0]

Welcome to a pioneering initiative aimed at reshaping the future of work. This global manifesto on performance management represents a unique collaboration among HR professionals, practitioners, consultants, and academics from across the globe. Together, we've pooled our expertise to create a comprehensive framework of principles and practices to empower HR leaders in transforming their organizations to foster greater purpose, performance, and social value.

Drawing inspiration from the Agile manifesto, the Flourishing manifesto goes beyond methodological suggestions to form the cornerstone of a holistic business change journey and a paradigm shift in how we approach work:

  • Four core beliefs:On the left, our beliefs are rooted in a new management paradigm that prioritizes organizational flourishing. In contrast, the counterparts on the right reflect common traits found in traditional performance management processes.
  • 11 principles:The six principles on the left guide the overarching structure of the performance management process, while the five on the right pertain to specific components within it.
  • Exemplary practices:Page 2 of the manifesto outlines various practices and methods associated with both conventional and new management models. We hope this will help practitioners in transitioning to the new performance management approach.

The manifesto evolves through agile sprints. Following the May presentation, we'll invite extensive input from HR and business leaders, aiming to release the next version (MVP2) by the final quarter of 2024. We welcome your contributions to shaping the evolving manifesto or your partnership in implementing the principles and practices within your organization.

Download the LATEST VERSION of the manifesto by clicking on the image or link. (Be sure to check back for the most recent MVPs.)
