| Performance Analysis Quadrants (PAQ) Tool An interactive version of the PAQ tool. The PAQ supports root cause analysis of performance problems, helping classify the primary "quadrant" of the problem as selection (hiring the wrong person/people for the job), motivation (not properly incentivising desired behavior), resources and/or environment (not supporting the desired behavior with appropriate systems and tools), or training (the person/people have not been properly educated on how to perform the job). This version of the tool also provides some basic intervention strategies for each quadrant. |
