Performance Storyboarding : “Turning Goals Into a Visual Narrative”

Origin

The concept of Performance Storyboarding is inspired by design thinking and creative industries, where storyboards are used to map out visual sequences before execution. Applied to HR, this method transforms performance planning into a visual storyline of milestones, tasks, and outcomes, making goals more tangible and engaging for employees. It shifts planning from abstract text-based goals to visual, progressive narratives.

Associated Theories

* Visualization Theory: People understand and commit better when goals are represented visually.

* Design Thinking: Emphasizes prototyping and iterative visualization of processes before action.

* Narrative Psychology: Suggests individuals make sense of their lives and work through stories, enhancing motivation and meaning.

How HR Can Use This

* Goal Planning: Employees create storyboards mapping tasks → checkpoints → outcomes.

* Performance Reviews: Use storyboards to review milestones achieved versus missed.

* Engagement: Makes planning more creative and interactive, boosting ownership of goals.

* Learning & Development: Use visual storyboards for skill development pathways.

* Team Collaboration: Aligns multiple contributors around a shared storyline of success.
