Abstract: Purpose - The recently introduced collective effort model (CEM) enlightens from a theoretical point of view different facets of the relationship between individual and group performance. From a more practical point of view, the Productivity Measurement and Enhancement System (ProMES) can be seen as an ideal counterpart to the CEM. ProMES is a technique enabling work groups to improve their performance. The article aims to show how CEM and ProMES can be put together. Design/methodology/approach - A ProMES implementation in an industrial setting is described. Moreover, ProMES effects are analyzed by assistance of the knowledge from the CEM. Findings - It was found that the overall positive productivity effects of ProMES can be increased if a pay‐for‐performance‐system is added on. That is, feedback reports can easily serve for the implementation of a group compensation system. Therefore, the overall effectiveness score has to be taken into account. Originality/value - The paper is a useful source of information for organizations looking to better their organizational performance through the implementation of CEM and ProMES.
