Luminary Search has developed a leading-edge process for creating high-performance role blueprints. The resulting document is a communication tool that helps business leaders clearly define what is expected of individuals and how each role links to overall business results. Today's high-performing workforce relies increasingly on intangible assets such as customer relationships, intellectual property, corporate culture, innovation and incremental organisational improvement.

Environmental Analysis, the purpose being to establish:

• Who are the key stakeholders for the particular role?
• What are their expectations?
• What are the major focus areas of the role?
• A successful picture of the role in relation to corporate strategy

Performance Analysis, the purpose being to identify:

• The major objectives within each focus area?
• Top performing behaviours that drive success within each focus area.

Measurement and Feedback, the purpose being to identify:

• Feedback that will let you know whether the job is being done well or not.
• What does life look like with poor performance as opposed to good performance?
• What are the tangible and intangible measures of performance?
• What is the relative importance of each focus area?
• How does measurement link to the overall performance-management process?

The high-performance role blueprint helps a business harness the intangible assets needed to succeed and visually represents the crucial relationships between behaviours, personal objectives, business objectives and the expectations of key stakeholders.
