Course Journal

This in-house course was organized with the purpose of disseminating best practices via both theoretical and practical knowledge, associated with performance measurement and management practices.

Day I

During the first day of the course, participants were exposed to several concepts associated with KPIs, the Performance Management Architecture and most importantly, how to build a proper framework that will set up a sound foundation for the system per se.

We made several constructive comparisons between the client’s current Performance Management System and globally known best practices.

Day II

During the second day, we chose a more hands-on practice approach, whereby participants worked in different groups and focused their efforts on understanding and applying the best techniques associated with KPI selection, and how to strategically align KPIs & corporate objectives, among all the organizational layers.

Day III

As the final day approached, the participants discussed about the importance of not only selecting KPIs, but of also implementing best practices in setting up realistic, yet challenging targets for each KPI. A customized simulation was created in order for the participants to apply those practices in their own organizational contexts.

The final session ended with a thorough discussion about the alignment of individual KPIs with the corporate objectives, and being able to measure the contribution that each division head will have to achieve in order to match the aforementioned objectives.

Overall, the course achieved its goal of showcasing to all of its attendees, who serve as senior managers in their respective organizations, how to implement best practices within their own Performance Management System Frameworks.noterko
