Course Overview Leaders and professionals who have responsibility for directing and managing performance are concerned about getting everyone focused on activities that really count. So a primary tool for them is a wellrespected system of organisation performance management. It is important to apply best practices so as to know why, where and how to change the level of performance. Organisational health is harmed if immature measurement and improvement procedures undermine employee engagement and obstruct the organisation’s purpose. Through fully grounded examples and collaborative exercises you will learn the secrets of highly effective organisation performance improvement. You will also discover how to avoid the missteps that lead some organisations to performance roadblocks, or worse. On completion of this course you will be able to: • Understand the behaviour of the organisation as a system • Apply organisation performance management with a solution orientation • Perform a diagnostic on the way performance indicators are used • Identify the different cause-and-effect roles of performance indicators • Understand the linkage between improvement and empowerment • Develop optimal KPIs based on a proven step-by-step approach • Set up and lead a successful performance improvement initiative • Use analysis to identify the best possible focus for improvement actions • Produce meaningful and actionable KPI performance reports • Recognise the limitations and poor uses of performance indicators
Methodology The programme format combines highly experienced coaching sessions with stimulating exercises and debate that will provide a learning experience that is well grounded, practical and true-to-life.
