What is the Performance on Purpose scorecard?
It is the first step of Performance on Purpose, the method behind every Buzz Coaching programme. The method asks two questions at the same time: are you performing, and is the performance serving a purpose worth the effort it costs? Eight of the statements answer those two questions and place you on the quadrant. The other six score the three freedoms that coaching is aiming at: Financial Freedom, Time Freedom and Mind Freedom.
Each statement also belongs to one of the four coaching areas: Personal, Leadership, Business and Financial Coaching. The area with the lowest average is the one the result points you to.
How is the result worked out?
Your performance score is the average of the four performance statements, and your purpose score is the average of the four purpose statements. An average of 5.5 or more counts as high. High performance and high purpose is Performance on Purpose. High performance with low purpose is The Treadmill. Low performance with high purpose is Unfulfilled Potential. Low on both is Drifting.
Each freedom is the average of its two statements. Each coaching area is the average of the statements that belong to it, and the lowest one is named. Your three lowest single statements are listed as the starting priorities, each with one first step. Where scores tie, the statement that appears first on the form comes first, so the same answers always give the same result.
What do the four positions mean?
- Drifting. Clarity and momentum are both low. The first job is deciding what matters now and taking one useful step this week.
- The Treadmill. The business performs, but the effort has come loose from what you want from it. The work is reconnecting effort to purpose and stopping some things.
- Unfulfilled Potential. You know what matters, and delivery has not caught up. The work is a 90-day outcome, milestones and the one habit, system or decision that creates movement.
- Performance on Purpose. Both are lined up. The work is re-scoring regularly and keeping to a few priorities so drift is noticed early.
The method, the quadrant and the three freedoms are set out in full on the Performance on Purpose page.
What the scorecard assumes
- It is a self-assessment. Two people in the same business will often score it differently, and the gap is worth discussing.
- All fourteen statements carry equal weight.
- Nothing is compared with other businesses. Every number is your own.
- Your answers stay in your browser unless you ask for the report by email.
If the result points to the business itself, the Wheel of Business scores its nine areas in more detail. If Time Freedom came out lowest, the owner time audit shows where last week went.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the scorecard take?
About five minutes. There are fourteen statements and each one takes a single number from 0 to 10. Read all fourteen first and score what was true last week rather than what you intend to be true next quarter, because the honest version is the useful one. The result updates as soon as the last statement has a score, and you can change any number afterwards to see how the position on the quadrant moves. Nothing is saved, so a second attempt starts from blank.
Do I have to give an email address?
No. The full result appears on the page: your position on the quadrant, your performance and purpose scores, the three freedoms, the coaching area to start with and your three lowest statements. The email box underneath is optional and sends the same report to your inbox. You can also print the result or save it as a PDF with the button on the result panel, which removes the site navigation and keeps the scores and the first steps.
Why 5.5 as the line between high and low?
Each axis is the average of four scores out of ten, so 5 is the middle of the scale. Setting the line at 5.5 means an owner who scores every statement at 5 lands in Drifting rather than in Performance on Purpose. A middling score on everything describes a business and an owner who are getting by, and the coaching work for that position is clarity and a first step, which is the Drifting response. The line is the same for performance and for purpose, and the dot on the quadrant is drawn on the same scale.
What happens on the free discovery call?
It is thirty minutes by video or phone with Andy Jackson, or with Peter Allen for Financial Coaching. You talk through your scores and what sits behind them. You leave with your position on the Performance on Purpose quadrant, your money, time and mind scores, and your top three priorities, sent to you in writing after the call. If coaching is not the right next step for the business, the call says so and points you to what is.
Can my business partner or team take it too?
Yes, and it is useful when they do. Ask a business partner or a senior member of the team to score the same fourteen statements independently, then compare. The purpose statements are where owners and teams most often disagree: an owner can be clear about where the business is going while the team could not explain it. Discuss every statement where you are more than two points apart, because the gap shows something one of you is not seeing.
