# Performance Consulting - Business Description
Performance Consulting is a Sheffield-based firm specialising in transforming HR and L&D professionals from reactive order-takers into strategic business partners. Founded by Chartered Business Psychologist Nigel Harrison over 40 years ago, the company has developed a proven diagnostic methodology—Diagnose.Design.Deliver—that uncovers the genuine causes behind organisational performance problems rather than treating surface symptoms.
The firm serves HR and L&D leaders across banking and finance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and public education sectors. Rather than offering generic training solutions, Performance Consulting coaches internal consultants to think strategically, ask better questions, and position themselves as credible advisors who drive measurable business improvement.
What sets Performance Consulting apart is their depth of expertise rooted in business psychology combined with practical, evidence-based consulting approaches. They don't simply train professionals; they fundamentally shift how HR and L&D functions operate within their organisations. The company provides ongoing support through coaching programmes, published resources on performance consulting methodology, and a members' area with downloadable tools and materials.
Their approach emphasises understanding complex organisational systems, quantifying genuine performance gaps, and building the diagnostic and consulting skills that earn trust at board level. By helping professionals move beyond task completion to strategic influence, Performance Consulting enables lasting organisational change grounded in real business outcomes rather than assumed solutions.
