Performance by Design

Performance by Design (PBD) is CPChem’s approach to improving how work is planned, executed and supported across the organization.

The program is grounded in human performance principles and focuses on strengthening systems, processes and conditions so people can do their jobs successfully. By shifting the focus from individual behavior to how work gets done, PBD helps identify opportunities to reduce risk, improve reliability and support consistent performance across operations.

PBD encourages every team, at every level, to use their unique perspectives and backgrounds to enhance how we work and implement solutions that unlock value for our employees, customers and owners. In 2025, we initiated efforts to refocus and reinforce the data-driven elements within our PBD structure to help capture success in our pursuit of excellence.
