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 learning experience, participants were exposed to several concepts associated with KPIs, Performance Management Architecture and most importantly, how to build a proper Framework that will set up a sound foundation of the system per se.

Constructive comparisons were made between the performance management system currently implemented within the client organization and the practices discussed.

Day II

A rather hands-on practice approach was chosen during the second day, whereby participants worked in different groups and focused their efforts on understanding and applying 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, participants discussed about the importance of not only selecting KPIs, but also of implementing best practices and 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 context.

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

Overall, the course enabled the participants, all in senior managerial positions, to implement the practices they had learnt, within their own Performance Management System Framework.GCSSWant to know more about Performance Measurement and Management?
