Step 2:
Define performance measures for each CSF – i.e. key
performance outcomes (KPOs). There may be one or several
KPOs for each CSF. Definition of KPO should include:
Title of KPO;
Data used in calculation of KPO;
Method of calculation of KPO;
Sources of data used in calculation;
Proposed measurement frequency;
Responsibility for the measurement process.
Level 1 – Strategy development and goal deployment
Step 3:
Set targets for each KPO.
If KPOs are new, targets should be based on
customer requirements, competitor performance or
known organizational criteria.
If no such data exists, a target should be set based on
best guess criteria.
KPOs & KPIs
Level 1 – Strategy development and goal deployment
Step 4:
Assign responsibility at the organizational level for
achievement of desired performance against KPO
targets.
Responsibility should rest with directors and very
senior managers.
Step 5:
Develop plans to achieve the target performance.
This includes both action plans for one year, and
longer-term strategic plans.
Level 1 – Strategy development and goal deployment
Step 6:
Deploy mission, CSFs, KPOs, targets, responsibilities
and plans to the core business processes. This
includes the communication of goals, objectives,
plans, and the assignment of responsibility to
appropriate individuals.
Step 7:
Measure performance against organizational KPOs,
and compare to target performance.
Level 1 – Strategy development and goal deployment
Step 8:
Communicate performance and proposed actions
throughout the organization.
Step 9:
At the end of the planning cycle compare organizational
capability to target against all KPOs, and begin again at step
2 above.
Step 10:
Reward and recognize superior organizational performance.
Level 2 – Process management and measurement
Step 2:
Translate organizational goals, action plans and customer requirements into
process performance measures (input, in-process and output)
Key performance indicators (KPIs); this includes definition of measures,
data collection procedures, and measurement frequency.
Level 2 – Process management and measurement
Step 3:
Define appropriate performance targets, based on known process capability,
competitor performance and customer requirements.
Step 4:
Assign responsibility and develop plans for achieving process performance targets.
Step 5:
Deploy measures, targets, plans and responsibility to all sub processes.
Step 6:
Operate processes.
Step 7:
Measure process performance and compare to target performance.
Level 2 – Process management and measurement
Step 8:
Use performance information to:
a) Implement continuos improvement activities
b) Identify areas for improvement;
c) Update action plans;
d) Update performance targets;
e) Redesign processes, where appropriate;
f) Manage the performance of teams and individuals (performance
management and appraisal) and external suppliers;
g) Provide leading indicators and explain performance against
organizational KPIs.
Level 2 – Process management and measurement
Step 9:
At the end of each planning cycle compare process
capability to customer requirements against all
measures, and begin again at step 2.
Step 10:
Reward and recognize superior process performance,
including sub processes, and teams.
Level 3 – Individual performance and appraisal management
Step 2:
Translate process goals and action plans, and personal training and
development requirements into personal performance measures.
Step 3:
Define appropriate performance targets based on known capability
and desired characteristics (or desired characteristics alone if there is
no prior knowledge of capability).
Step 4:
Develop plans towards achievement of personal performance targets.
Step 5:
Document 1 to 4 using appropriate forms, which should include
space for the results of performance appraisal.
Level 3 – Individual performance and appraisal management
Step 6:
a) Manage performance. This includes:
b) Planning tasks on a daily/weekly basis;
c) Managing performance of the tasks;
d) Monitoring performance against task objectives using
both quantitative (process) and qualitative information
on a daily and/or weekly basis;
e) Giving feedback to individuals of their performance in
carrying out tasks;
f) Giving recognition to individuals for superior
performance.
Level 3 – Individual performance and appraisal management
Step 7:
Formally appraise performance against range of measures developed, and compare to
target performance.
Step 8:
Use comparison with target to:
a) Identify areas for improvement;
b) Update action plans;
c) Update performance targets;
d) Redesign jobs, where appropriate. This impacts step 1 of the process.
Step 9:
After a suitable period, ideally more than once a year, compare capability to job
requirements and begin again at step 2.
Step 10:
Reward and recognize superior performance.
Level 4 – Performance review
Step 3:
Carry out the review.
Step 4:
Feed results into the planning process at the organizational or process level.
Step 5:
Determine whether to repeat the exercise. If it is decided to repeat the exercise,
the following points should be considered:
a) Frequency of review.
b) At what levels to carry out future reviews, e.g. organization-wide or process
by process.
c) Decide whether the review technique should be incorporated into regular
performance measurement processes, and if so how this will be managed.
