ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Performance improvement

Imagine you are playing with building blocks and you want to make the biggest and tallest tower possible. But sometimes, your tower falls down or it’s not as tall as you want it to be. This is like when people or organizations want to do their work faster or better, but there are obstacles that prevent them from reaching their goals.

To improve performance, people or organizations try different ways to make their work easier or faster. For example, they might use better tools or methods to build their tower or they might ask a friend for help. In the same way, people or organizations might try different methods, tools, or methods to improve their performance.

Sometimes, people or organizations use data to measure their performance. This can be like counting how many blocks you used to build your tower or how tall it is. With data, people or organizations can see if they are doing better or worse than before, and make adjustments to improve.

Overall, performance improvement is when people or organizations try to do their work better, faster, or with fewer obstacles, by trying different methods, tools, or using data to measure their progress.
