About Performance Management Company

Performance Management Company was founded in 1984 by Scott J. Simmerman, Ph.D., who is its Managing Partner. Through the years, the company's base has evolved from consulting to creating and selling products supporting management and organizational development to organizations and individuals worldwide. PMC is dedicated to collaborating with a network of trainers and consultants to help create new ideas and applications for products.

Combining his work experience in business consulting and retail management with a doctoral degree in psychology and university teaching from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Scott initially created Performance Management as an organizational consulting business. However, the focus of the business changed to designing and selling resources because of a single cartoon called simply, "Square Wheels One." From that, Scott created the interactive Square Wheels® illustration series consisting of over 300 cartoons now packaged in 5 Square Wheels® toolkits. These toolkits are available as complete training packages and there is also a new Square Wheels based team exercise.

One of Scott's premises is that if people enjoy a learning experience they will more readily retain key points. The fun, fast-paced, "The Search for The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine" was created with this belief in mind. Serious learning points such as collaboration, communication and quality are all entwined with participants having a good time while playing this team building game. It has, hence, become one of the leading team building exercises in the world.

The web sites www.SquareWheels.com and www.PerformanceManagementCompany.com are the training and development websites for Performance Management Company where Square Wheels® toolkits and our teambuilding games are sold and various exercises and links to other products are shared.
