Performantria: Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)
Unlock the Secrets to World-Class Performance
Performantria: Master the Game of Enterprise Performance Management is a practical guide for anyone responsible for turning strategy into measurable results. It brings governance, goals, KPIs, data, people, and execution together in one clear, adaptable system.
Drawing on more than 15 years of experience across oil and gas, chemicals, offshore wind, and logistics, Johan Edfeldt combines field-tested methods with retro gaming analogies that make complex ideas easier to understand, remember, and apply.
Inside, you will learn how to:
Build a performance governance framework that clarifies roles, decisions, and accountability.
Design multi-dimensional KPIs across Outcome, Performance, Process, Adoption, and Deliverables.
Establish a Performance Operating System that embeds review, learning, and course correction into everyday operations.

The EPM Framework: See the Whole System
The framework organizes EPM across ten interconnected knowledge areas, spanning governance, measurement, data, analytics, performance excellence, people, stakeholders, risk, portfolios, and transformation. It gives leaders a shared map for diagnosing gaps, assigning ownership, and connecting strategy to execution.
-
The Goal Trilemma: Make Every Goal Executable
The Goal Setter, the Approver, and the Team Executing the Goal can each make reasonable decisions and still produce a goal that fails. The Goal Trilemma exposes hidden dependencies, conflicting priorities, and ownership gaps early, helping teams create targets that are aligned, realistic, and executable.

Devformance Goals: Perform Today. Build Tomorrow.
Why force a choice between today’s target and tomorrow’s capability? Devformance Goals combine performance and development objectives in a single goal, helping people deliver measurable results while building the skills and capabilities the organization will need next.

The Performance Operating System: Turn Strategy into Rhythm
Performance cannot live in an annual plan or quarterly slide deck. The Performance Operating System (POS) integrates performance management into daily operations, connects operational and strategic review cadences, and enables timely course corrections when reality departs from the plan.
-
Gamify EPM: Make the System Memorable
Quests, power-ups, save points, speedruns, and monthly boss fights turn abstract EPM concepts into ideas people can picture, remember, and use. The retro gaming layer makes the system more approachable without sacrificing rigor.

Performantria is built for Adventurers
What makes my perspective to EPM more approachable, in my view, is two-fold.
First, I’ve developed a clear framework— a fixed reference point that simplifies what can often feel like complex concepts.
Second, I bring it to life by connecting it to my hobbies and interests, from retro gaming 🎮 and 80s movies 🎥 to fantasy 🏰 and sci-fi 🌌.
By weaving these passions into the narrative of EPM, I hope to make it more relatable and easier to understand. I’d be thrilled if you enjoy it and share it with others who are curious about Enterprise Performance Management.
