Hi,

How about performance contracts with individuals
and/or teams that focus on outcomes and a few outputs?
A few years ago while working for a state agency that
was piloting a pilot TQM project, the division that I
worked for used performance contracts. These
contracts were very effective in developing a buy-in,
ownership, and the commitment of the individuals and
teams in their own and organizational success.

If you're interested, I can provide details.

Mike
