Growth reveals cracks in how teams measure success , especially when each function operates on a different definition of performance.

The situation this course is for

In high-growth environments, misaligned performance metrics create friction between departments. Engineering optimizes for velocity, sales for revenue, and product for engagement , but without a unified system, accountability erodes and strategic goals get diluted. Leaders end up managing confusion instead of momentum.

Who this is for

Business and technology leaders in scaling organizations , including directors, VPs, and senior managers in product, engineering, operations, and strategy , who need to align cross-functional teams around shared performance outcomes.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors not involved in performance design, consultants without implementation authority, or leaders in static or declining organizations where structural change isn't feasible.

What you walk away with

  • Design a unified performance framework that aligns engineering, product, and business functions
  • Implement feedback systems that close the loop between execution and strategy
  • Diagnose misalignment using a structured assessment matrix
  • Deploy accountability models that scale with organizational complexity
  • Lead performance reviews that drive coordination instead of conflict
