Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key difference between a highly successful organization and one that just merely reaches its quarterly goals--most of the time--might very well be how they address performance reviews. Are they just a perfunctory, annual “check-off,” with no other goal than to justify salary increases, or does the organization truly know how to manage and measure its employees’ performances to best impact a company’s bottom line? In The Performance Appraisal Tool Kit, you will discover a customizable appraisal template covering the essential areas of performance and conduct and learn how they can adapt it to fit varying business strategies. After all, every organization is a unique entity, therefore, the performance appraisal plan must also be unique to its company. To find the process that best increases efficiency and effectiveness in your workplace, learn how to: Profile ideal employee performance and behavior Design competencies that power performance, both at the individual and enterprise level Drive future change by setting your organization's strategic direction Retool the appraisal as needed to ratchet up expectations over time There’s nothing more valuable to a company in the long-term than a motivated and dedicated workforce. The Performance Appraisal Tool Kit gives you the resources you need to construct a performance appraisal program that will accommodate market changes, revised priorities, and increasing productivity targets--and in the end, will lift your organization to a higher level.
Download or read book Beyond Performance Management written by Jeremy Hope and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a bewildering array of management tools out there. And they all promise to help you excel at the toughest parts of your job: defining your organization’s strategic direction, managing customers and costs, and boosting workforce performance. But just 30 percent of these tools deliver as intended. Why? As Jeremy Hope and Steve Player reveal in Beyond Performance Management, while many tools are sound in theory, they’re misused by most organizations. For example, executives buy and implement a tool without first asking, “What problem are we trying to solve?” And they use tools to command and control frontline teams, not empower them—a serious and costly mistake. In this eminently useful, clear-eyed book, the authors critically review dozens of well-known management tools—from mission statements, balanced scorecards, and rolling forecasts to key performance indicators, Six Sigma, and performance appraisals. They explain how to select the right tools for your organization, how to implement them correctly, and how to extract maximum value from each. Brimming with rigorous analysis and solid advice, Beyond Performance Management helps you swiftly gauge the value of each management tool, as well as navigate the increasingly crowded field of offerings—so the tools you select deliver fully on their promise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 9 out of 10, Maastricht University (Faculty of economics and business administration), language: English, abstract: Performance evaluation is a topic of ongoing concern, interest and controversy. While the main goal of performance measurement is to provide a basis for the assessment of employee’s objective achievement it also helps to develop strategic plans and when properly designed it gives the motivation to work towards goals that are aligned with the principals residual interests (Ittner & Larcker, 1998). However, this incentive alignment is subject to major discussion. For example Josef Ackermann (2008), CEO of Deutsche Bank, admitted that one reason for the development of the sub prime crisis was the bonus system among banks. He argued that bonuses should establish the right incentives and be oriented towards medium- and long-term goals. He assessed tying bonuses to maximize profits in the short term – which encourages managers to take high risks – as the wrong approach. The question is therefore, which kind of measurement techniques can be used to reflect the subordinate’s incremental contribution to the firm value and how they can be designed to serve the principals’ goals. The paper is organized as follows. The first part provides an overview of performance evaluation in general followed by the main part about objective and subjective performance measures, their benefits and shortcomings. Before concluding, the balanced scorecard – a tool for performance evaluation that combines both financial and operational measures – is analyzed and described. [...]

Download or read book The Department Prism Approach The Performance Prism and Performance Evaluation written by Erik Sebastian Wödl and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of today forces companies to rigorously concentrate on key terms like ‘customer satisfaction’, ‘performance boosting’ and ‘performance measurement’. A famous tool for that was developed by Kaplan & Norton who introduced the balanced scorecard. But, Kaplan & Norton mainly concentrate on two stakeholders – the customer and the shareholder. As Neely, Adams and Kennerley (2002) claim, this is not far-reaching enough. A company must consider more stakeholders (e.g. the supplier, the employee and further more) as their approach of the performance prism explains. But, Neely and his colleagues did not explain in detail how to apply their performance prism to the departmental level, and how to connect it to a remuneration system. Here, the actual book gives brand-new ideas and tools for a consistent application of the developed framework to the departmental level. This book concentrates especially on the stakeholder approach of Neely, Adams and Kennerley which will be improved by the ‘stakeholder matrix’, and connected by the development of the ‘multidimensional performance appraisal table’ to performance evaluation. This is the second book of Erik Wödl regarding performance measurement.

Download or read book Value Risk Based Performance Evaluation of Industrial Systems written by Liaqat Ali Shah and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance measurement and management (PMM) poses daunting challenges to organizations in terms of meeting multiple stakeholder objectives. Evaluation of these objectives, and hence performance is essential for many reasons such as monitoring and control, diagnosis, improvement, learning and decision-making of processes or enterprise systems. Performance measures as descriptors of performance are the key tools in this evaluation process. However, the multidimensionality of performance, the inter-dependencies among performance measures and the pursuit to manage many dimensions of performance complicate the PMM process. Furthermore, the uncertainty in terms of objectives satisfaction surrounding the business processes or enterprise systems adds further complexity. To deal with these issues, a process-centered value-risk based performance management system (VR-PMS) is proposed in the current research work. The purpose is to transform the expectations and fears of stakeholders into value and risk indicators respectively for informed decision making. For this purpose, a conceptual value-risk model is developed aimed at integrating consistently the concepts relevant to objectives, activities and risks in one framework and conceptualizing the idea of value and risk based performance management. In addition, a methodological framework is developed that divides the PMM process into three phases: performance modeling, assessment and decision-making. Each phase of the framework is instrumented with quantitative analysis methods and tools. The deliverable of the VR-PMS is a set of ranked solutions (i.e. alternative business processes) evaluated against the developed value and risk indicators.
Download or read book Essential Tools for Organisational Performance written by Simon Burtonshaw-Gunn and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-08-27 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on organizational development for increased business performance. The text and models cover process management, leading to change management and organizational development. Burtonshaw-Gunn and Salameh show that process implementation in any business depends on two key factors. First, the role of knowledge management in organizational and individual improvement is vital. Secondly, performance management for individual employees, and collaboration between organizations can bring about lasting change and development. Each chapter presents a balance between the organization’s and individual performance commitment, and features helpful pointers to further sources of information. Using the authors’ knowledge and practical experience across a range of organizations and cultural settings this publication depicts the systematic efforts required for organizational development. This covers the following five major elements, each with a dedicated chapter describing in detail the tools and techniques necessary for successful performance improvement: Process Management Change Management and Organizational Development People-Focused Performance Management Knowledge Management and Performance Organizational Performance through Tactical and Strategic Partnering Essential Tools for Organizational Performance not only brings these inter-related topics together in a logical way but allows each to be considered as a stand-alone performance strategy. It fully references the original source of the models used and where additional in-depth information may be found. Find out more on the Essential Tools website: www.essentialtoolsseries.com “This is an extremely useful book for both business students and practicing managers.

Download or read book Enterprise Performance Measurement System written by Kai Siang Teo and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing metric selection methodologies and performance measurement frameworks provide practicing managers with good checklists and tools to evaluate and design their enterprise performance measurement systems (EPMS) and metrics. However, these methodologies and frameworks do not delve deep enough into the operational aspects of EPMS and metrics. This work addresses this research gap by proposing a practical Metric Design Framework with accompanying Metric Design Tools and a Metric Design Guide to operationalize metrics to ensure better strategic alignment, monitoring and reporting of business activities, and proactive decision-making. Singapore Technologies Aerospace Engineering Development Center (STA EDC) is the enterprise involved in action research, the research methodology used in this work. The background of STA EDC is included to provide the context and purpose. There are four major action research cycles including EPMS Ten Lenses (cycle 1), Metric Design Tools (cycle 2), Metric Building Blocks and Elements (cycle 3), and Metric Design Guide (cycle 4). The details and results for each action research cycle are discussed. In essence, the Nightingale Rhodes Enterprise Architecting Framework (NREAF) [1] serves as a starting point, where the Enterprise Architecting (EA) Ten View Elements/Lenses are modified for EPMS in cycle 1. In cycle 2, the STA EDC EPMS and metrics are evaluated using the EPMS Ten Lenses, and Metric Design Tools such as the Strategic Alignment Tool, EPMS Value Flow Map, Measurement Scope Tool, and 3x3 Info Decision Matrix are developed. Cycle 3 saw the development of the Metric Building Blocks and Metric Elements, while cycle 4 demonstrated the application of the proposed Metric Design Framework and Tools in the form of a Metric Design Guide. The proposed framework and tools are then validated with practicing managers at STA EDC. Based on the feedback and validation from practicing managers, the proposed framework and tools show great potential in terms of comprehensiveness/completeness, usability, and utility. However, the key challenge lies with implementation. Management's commitment and buy-in from various EPMS stakeholders are necessary. While minor modifications and/or additions to the proposed framework and tools are expected during implementation, the endeavor is worthwhile because a firm becomes what it measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First established in August 1988, the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) has shaped the landscape of modern transaction processing and database benchmarks over two decades. Now, the world is in the midst of an extraordinary information explosion led by rapid growth in the use of the Internet and connected devices. Both user-generated data and enterprise data levels continue to grow ex- nentially. With substantial technological breakthroughs, Moore's law will continue for at least a decade, and the data storage capacities and data transfer speeds will continue to increase exponentially. These have challenged industry experts and researchers to develop innovative techniques to evaluate and benchmark both hardware and software technologies. As a result, the TPC held its First Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking (TPCTC 2009) on August 24 in Lyon, France in conjunction with the 35th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB 2009). TPCTC 2009 provided industry experts and researchers with a forum to present and debate novel ideas and methodologies in performance evaluation, measurement and characteri- tion for 2010 and beyond. This book contains the proceedings of this conference, including 16 papers and keynote papers from Michael Stonebraker and Karl Huppler.
