On behalf of Maastricht School of Management and the HPO Center I visit countries all over the world. Not only “privileged” countries like the US, UK or Germany, but also many third-world countries. Visiting students and executives in these countries gives me enormous energy. Emerging markets and ambitious people. Countries like Namibia.
After giving several presentations on national television, I gave a lecture about HPOs and Performance Management for Namibian directors and senior managers. The energy, ambition and critical and imaginative questions from the audience gives me great hope that this co-operation will strive organizations towards long-term high performance!
And I know the HPO Framework works not only in Europe, US or Asia. Previous visits and HPO-diagnosis with e.g. Iringa University College in Tanzania and De Beers Marine in Namibia show promising results.
More to come in my new book (May 2012), including some sizzling HPO cases from Asia and South-America as well…
