The company behind Performance-OS— the operating system for workplace performance

After identifying the principles that govern human performance, Performance-OS was created to provide leaders with a purpose-built operating system to transform their organisation’s performance.

WHY VANTASET EXISTS

Organisations have operating systems for finance, technology, and operations - but not for human performance.

Vantaset exists to fill this gap.

After decades working across elite sport and large, complex organisations, we saw the same pattern repeatedly: performance breakdowns were not caused by people, effort, or intent - they are a consequence of disconnected systems people have to contend with.

Performance-OS was created to give executive leaders a purpose-built operating system to align their strategy, leadership, culture, capability, and performance so they can perform to their potential.

WHAT WE ARE – AND WHAT WE ARE NOT

Vantaset is not a consulting firm, leadership training provider, or HR solution.

We do not assess organisations and then recommend disconnected initiatives. We do not deliver standalone development programmes. We do not replace HR, consultants, or internal functions.

Instead, Vantaset exists to deploy and steward Performance-OS - the world’s first high performance operating system - to help executives align their entire organisation to execute their strategy.

HR, consultants, and functional initiatives become far more effective once they are working within a coherent performance system.

WHERE PERFORMANCE-OS CAME FROM

Performance-OS was not created in theory - it emerged following decades of applied work in environments where performance matters.

Its foundations draw on:

  • Elite and professional sport, where performance systems are non-negotiable
  • Large public-sector organisations operating under scrutiny and complexity
  • Commercial organisations required to execute strategy at scale

Across these environments, the same insight held true: high performance is never accidental — it is designed into the system.

Why we do it

As everyone knows, the world has changed and so too have the demands on leaders

To succeed in this fast-paced environment, leaders need new tools to transform their organisation’s effectiveness while adopting better ways of working to attract and retain the talent they need to remain competitive. Success today demands more than smart strategy and AI. It requires transformational leadership that’s powered by proven people-first systems.

Vantaset exists to enable leaders to build organisations people believe in and want to support.

HOW WE WORK WITH ORGANISATIONS

Vantaset works with executive leaders and boards to deploy Performance-OS as the operating model for organisational performance.

This typically includes:

  • establishing clarity of strategic intent
  • aligning the 5 Drivers of Workplace Performance™
  • enabling leaders to operate within a coherent performance system
  • providing a structure to assess the ROI of initiatives and interventions

The result is not another programme, but a shared way of working that brings coherence, accountability, and performance across the organisation.
