Two, in fact. PDL's straightforward and time-tested approaches to performance analysis, performance design and performance management have been documented over the years his two acclaimed books, Improving Performance – How to Manage the White Space on the Organization Chart  (Rummler & Brache) (1990,1995) and Serious Performance Consulting According to Rummler (2004). 

What’s in a name?
PDL is in the results/performance improvement business. At its core is our fundamental belief that performance can be designed, that performance improvement is not magic, but science. Our theory base and methodologies allow us to to do this in a systematic and repeatable way with predictable results.

Back in the lab – our Design Center, located in Tucson Arizona - we continue to evolve and expand the theory base and methodologies first introduced in "Improving Performance" to include breakthrough approaches to management systems, measurement, strategy, IT alignment and organization structure design and implementation. We deliver these approaches to you through our consulting services and training products.
