Performance Studies

Performance Studies understands that on some level, everything we do is a performance, a ritual, a rehearsal, or an adaptation. The performances with the highest stakes are the ones we live every day in our personal and professional lives. A performance studies specialist analyzes and maps our everyday performances through the lenses of sociology, political science, rhetoric, anthropology, and organizational psychology.


 

This interdisciplinary approach goes far beyond the "job performance" analysis that we commonly associate with the term. It builds a multi-layered map of the performances that make and break businesses. Performance Studies helps us answer vital questions: that define us, from our cultural

-How do we adapt most effectively to change?

-How do new technologies change our daily life and community experience?

-How can some people thrive in situations that are so frustrating to others? How can we create a context where everyone can perform at their best, in almost every situation?

-How do we reinvent our communities and identities to meet evolving needs and changing conditions?

-What management strategies work best, when and where?

-What business rituals and rules promote the most successful corporate culture?

-How do mergers challenge the beliefs, values and daily performances of the two companies joining forces, and how can we create a shared identity that combines the strengths of the new partners?

-What performances and products (brands, advertising, images, outreach) will project the best qualities of a company to its customers?

-How can you increase your efficiency and profits without sacrificing quality and integrity?
