In Today’s World, we keep it simple and expect staff to rally around a few bottom line measures….that way, we are all on the same page…Right? Our market capitalization has declined, therefore we must improve ROCE, EVA, EBITDA... EBITDA, hah!, most of the folks who get these reports cannot spell EBITDA! I wonder how Aunt Eva is doing? So, what does ROCE have to do with whether I get these drawings to the customer? Wrong!…organization complexity increases the chances of the bottom line measures getting “lost in the shuffle”, ignored and…
The Issue - When performance measures get ignored, employee focus declines causing the organization to expose itself to issues that negatively impact sustainable performance.
The Response – Many organizations have had limited success in implementing performance measurement programs. Unsuccessful programs sometimes resemble… Program Result K.I.S.S. Program: The Company is asking the entire organization to keep it simple and focus on a “select few” measures. “Have it Your Way” Program: The Company allows each function to select their own performance measures for success Most of the organization does not know what these few measures really mean. Functions pick the “self-serving” measures and walls between departments grow.
Question: – How can Executive Leaders build a performance measurement program where staff are given a more clear understanding of what is strategically important? Answer: Build a performance management framework that includes: • A set of performance measures that… • all levels in the organization can understand • are clearly linked to the corporate strategy and goals • can be measured • A consistent process for capturing, tracking, monitoring and disseminating these performance measures throughout the organization (typically business intelligence tools). • A culture that is willing to reward individual performance based upon these performance measures. (typically incentive compensation programs). So, how can an organization determine the right set of measures for a successful program?
Strategies Performance Measurement Answer– Build a performance measurement framework around the “performance building blocks” unique to your company.

These are considered results based and typically contain a strong financial component. • VP/Director level measures • Typically a combination of financial and non-financial metrics • Competency level measures These measures are identified and set around those things a company must do well to compete and succeed in the market at the division level. They may be both financial and non-financial in nature. Tier 2 Tier 3 • Manager and Supervisor level Measures • Some financial and most non-financial metrics • Operational These measures relate to Critical Success Factors that define what activities a company must do well to successfully excel at their competencies . These measures are at an operational level. They may be both financial and non-financial in nature.
Results – Using this approach allows organizations to select a set of performance measures for the enterprise scorecard that… • Are linked to all levels in the organization via a set of concrete critical success factors that are in a language the organization understands • Are linked to the corporate strategies via a set of organization competencies that link the critical success measures to the organization goals. • Contain a set of distinct measures that are linked to the critical success factors and the results measures.
