Case Study: Affiliates Management Company achieves continuous, data-driven performance management with PiiQ by Cornerstone OnDemand

Transforming ineffective performance review process

Affiliates Management Company (AMC), a 240-employee holding company of the Iowa Credit Union League focused on aligning four operating companies, struggled with an antiquated “one-and-done” performance review that was cumbersome and provided little visibility into employee performance across the organization. AMC needed a simple, small-business–friendly system that supported development (not discipline) and could integrate with learning to give leaders a clearer view of talent and goals.

AMC chose PiiQ by Cornerstone for its ease of use, SMB focus, and strong client support. Implementation delivered continuous performance management, clearer competencies and goal-setting, and actionable feedback—helping employees see how their roles connect to organizational success. Leaders gained visibility through analytics (including a 9-box talent matrix), improving succession planning, engagement, and measurable performance improvements.
