Performance Management Solutions was set up in 1993 to develop and promote the work of Alasdair White in the field of Organisational Behavioural Management – managing people for performance, managing in deconcentrated organizations, and managing change.

Alasdair White, author of three best-selling management books (Managing for Performance, Continuous Quality Improvement, and The Essential Guide to Developing Your Staff), takes a behavioural psychology approach to the subject of managing people, leadership, and change management. His ideas are based on some simple, yet profound, fundamentals concerning why people do things, about leadership, and about the paradoxes that we ignore at our peril.

In 2008, he wrote From Comfort Zone to Performance Management (published by White & MacLean Publishing) and the concepts went viral to make his key definition of ‘comfort zone’ one of the most quoted items on the internet in its field.

His thinking challenges some of the firmly held beliefs that have driven management thinking for the last four decades and offers a cleaner, clearer approach to managing for performance.

Alasdair White currently divides his time between his work as a university lecturer, his writing, delivering management training seminars around the world, and acting as a publisher.

The objective of this site is to share the essentials of Alasdair White’s thinking with anyone who is interested in getting a better performance from those they work with.
