In most organisations the communication of strategic goals and objectives is poor – so it is hard for people in the organisation to know what to do . . . . . . and it is therefore hard for senior managers to check that the right things are being done – what are the ‘right’ things’? The result: only one third of organisations believe they are successful in implementing their strategic goals Strategic success therefore requires that people are clear about what needs to happen, and that managers get useful information about this activity.

General management issues The management challenge How to decide what to do? How to balance the actions required over time? How to effectively communica communicate te what is needed to the wider organisation? How to make these decisions relevant to the rest of the organisation? How to confirm that the necessary actions are actually being taken?

Simply measuring an organisation’s performance does not by itself ensure that the organisation will begin to perform as either it should do or could do

Performance Management Section Summary:
General Management Issues
To be able to design a performance management system, you must first be clear about what it is you are trying to achieve - i.e. what is ‘good’ performance To know if ‘good’ performance is being achieved you need a process to supply useful information about…

Whether the actions needed to improve performance are being carried out Whether the actions being carried out are having the desired impact
Carried out poorly, the activity to collect performance information is focused on too many (of the wrong) things, and the organisation then struggles to usefully define targets, evaluate performance, or use the available information to drive improved behaviours Some of these issues can be addressed by using a standard framework for the Performance Management system design. Performance Management systems have evolved to support the articulation, communication, monitoring and updating of strategic goals as part of an efficient, proven management process The most commonly used Performance Management framework is the Balanced Scorecard

The original Balanced Scorecard concepts were developed in the late 1980s – and were publicised by Kaplan & Norton in a 1992 Harvard Business Review paper Early Balanced Scorecard focused on strategy and vision, but said little about how to design or use effectively Over last decade the understanding of Balanced Scorecard has improved – Balanced Scorecard design and design methods have evolved to address the shortfalls inherent in the original approach The latest version of Balanced Scorecard is “3rd Generation” – it offers major benefits to users and developers over prior versions !
Quicker to develop, more reliable, easier to use, set targets for, and to cascade within organisation

Knowledge Transfer
First six months are critical to establish behaviour patterns that use Performance Management information effectively Strong sponsorship is critical Changes to key processes (e.g. the B oard Agenda) help to ensure the tool is used Linking the use of the Balanced Scorecard to budgets is a powerful mechanism for getting organisational units to participate Be wary of using to align personal goals with organisational objectives – this is too expensive for most purposes, plus incentives undermine the dynamic nature of Balanced Scorecard

An effective design process is a pre-requisite to building a modern Balanced Scorecard The design process can be straight-forward, but requires genuine management involvement Design can be completed in about 3 months; embedding the Balanced Scorecard typically requires another 3 months © 2GC Limited, 2009 - April 2004

Best Practice Design & Deployme Deployment nt Maintain your Balanced Scorecard For a Balanced Scorecard to continue to be useful over time, several elements must be in place: Reporting tools !
This needs to be owned, managed and resourced explicitly by the organisation: automation should be a ‘cost-benefit’ driven
Supporting ongoing use !
The organisation needs the ability to respond to problems with the use and management of Balanced Scorecard (e.g. train new users)
Annual reset capability !

Only get one shot at this type of project – you need to be very sure that you’ll get it right first time
External consultants will not be able to tell you what the right measures are – only you know that – but they will be able to share the benefit of their experience of carrying out similar projects elsewhere. Typically projects with external support use less internal time / resources, are completed more quickly, and result in higher levels of ownership and satisfaction than projects done by internal teams Something else…?

Preparing for implementation Get it right first time Building a Balanced Scorecard requires significant management time and energy Failure to get the design right typically results in the project failing, or the Balanced Scorecard being abandoned over time You only get one shot at glory – you must get the design right first time! Management teams will only make this investment once every few years
Don’t start too soon – plan properly and ensure full involvement of all key resources: ‘Content’ experts (the management team) Process experts (internal or external)
A simple checklist helps get you into the right frame of mind: Question 1 - What are you managing? Question 2 - Who is managing (what)? Question 3 - What do you want performance data for? Question 4 – Will using a framework help?

Preparing for implementation Sponsorship and communications Effective communication is not generated by a one-off effort – it requires dedication, commitment and patience to ensure it is sustained throughout the change Visible commitment and and active communication from key sponsors !
Project sponsor: ~50% of project time on
!
communications initially Executive team: ~30% of project time on communications initially
Clearly defined communication roles with dedicated time allocated !
!
!
Clearly outlined areas of communication responsibility Input from all content experts driving the change Core team to co-ordination and ensure consistency
Listen to concerns at all levels in the organisation and act to rectify them Prompt responses to feedback Integrate into Board/Steering Committee Agendas

Preparing for implementation Facilitation is always better than consultancy Why is facilitation better than consultancy? The management team will always know more about what they want to achieve than an external (or internal) consultant… !
The ‘guess – comment – edit’ approach leads to very generic outcomes being adopted as these are the only ones that can be clearly communicated both ways…
The same problem applies in reverse when it comes to signing off the externally driven design !
However long you spend trying to work out what is in the proposed design… !
You won’t really work it out the way the designers did
!
Your colleagues will work it out differently (or may, but you won’t easily find out…)
Example: Only one of the pictures on the right is the ‘right way up’… !
!
Which one is it? You can’t know for sure – only an ‘insider’ (the artist for example) can tell us
Use consultants to facilitate your project rather than do it for you
