The Performance System Hiding in Plain Sight

A Conversation with Leo Bottary and Daryl Woodhouse on Making Peer Dynamics Visible and Actionable.  --Despina Wilson, D.Litt.

Organizations measure almost everything: revenue, productivity, engagement, customer satisfaction, and leadership effectiveness, to name a few.

Yet one of the strongest influences on how people perform every day rarely appears on a dashboard: the influence peers have on one another.

For more than two decades, Leo Bottary has studied how peer dynamics shape collaboration, innovation, and performance. Together, with newly named Fractional CEO Daryl Woodhouse, Peernovation has translated that work into two new organizational diagnostics, the Peernovation Peer Dynamics Snapshot™ and Peernovation Peer Dynamics Profile™ (PPDP), and a broader Peernovation Performance System™ designed to help organizations move from understanding peer dynamics to intentionally strengthening them.

We spoke with Bottary and Woodhouse about why organizations may be overlooking a powerful source of performance hiding in plain sight and what becomes possible once they begin to see it.
