PuMP® Certification

Certify your ability to measure organizational performance meaningfully. Identify KPIs and reach targets that matter more efficiently with PuMP®.

High-performing organizations fulfil their mission, achieve their vision, reach targets that matter, and do this sooner and with less effort. They have a performance culture of people fully engaged in their contribution to the organization’s success. Measuring performance meaningfully, is an essential cornerstone to success.

But most organizations struggle to find the right KPIs. These struggles with measuring performance are, surprisingly, common to all sectors and industries around the world. They transcend organization size, industry, sector, and even country. Stacey Barr, creator of PuMP, has researched the most common KPI struggles people have, and they include measuring intangible goals, aligning measures to strategy, finding meaningful measures, getting people engaged in measuring performance, and knowing where to start.

PuMP Blueprint, a performance measurement methodology.

Driven by this research, Stacey Barr, Performance Measure Specialist, created the PuMP Blueprint, a performance measurement methodology that directly solves these common struggles with measuring performance. Stacey has specialized in organizational performance measurement since 1993, and PuMP continues to evolve with her research, learning and implementation.

The PuMP Blueprint Workshop teaches a practical and logical 8-step process to choose, create and use measures to drive high-ROI improvement. It provides KPI training based on proven how-to techniques to design, align, implement, report and use performance measures to improve performance and reach targets. Organizations will then more easily measure important outcomes in a way that drives engagement, alignment and performance improvement.
