Talk:Performance improvement

Complaint
While this article has a NPOV tone it has underlining assumptions that are unproven and unsupported with references. Human performance often improves when being watched, focused upon or have changes in their environment (See Hawthorne_effect). This reads more like a brochure for coaching services than en encyclopedic article about performance improvement. Such an article would include measurement errors and effects and document if it is even possible? After how many millions of years of improvement why is the break room still a mess? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MountainLogic (talk • contribs)

The article discusses the enterprise level and the individual level concerns with performance improvement; however, it does not address any intermediate level. Since many, if not most, organizations use ad hoc teams, projects, committees and other groups as part of their execution tactics the article should address the performance improvement efforts made in those contexts. A common term of art is 'team performance management' (also a journal title), 'team performance improvement' would indicate the same area but appears to be less common. Regardless, this article seems to be the right place to mention the work group / team level concern. Sbugs (talk) 20:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
