PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

All organisations operate some form of performance measurement ‘system’ that is designed to assist with meeting and managing strategic objectives down through to the level of individual operational delivery.  However the capability of organisations to possess a fully working world class ‘system’ that optimises performance and performance evaluation is a much under-rated challenge.

Alongside the successes and partial successes are many war stories of failed or abandoned projects. In fact, too many organisations suffer from a ‘half-working’ or compromised system that impacts on operating culture or distorts organisational behaviour whether through inadequate target-setting, performance-reward linkage and/or inadequate metric-analytic reporting. Well-designed performance measurement and management plays a key role in successful change initiatives as well as providing a mean of maintaining strategic and operational relevance in a dynamic business environment whether in the private, public or NFP sectors.

Added to this is the emergence of ‘big data’ which provides potential opportunities to leverage insightful decision-making and subsequent performance though this should not over-ride the ‘measurement basics’ organisations should already be utilising. Masterful knowledge of successful performance and measurement and its implementation is both art and science and is under-represented in many organisations from a practitioner/expert perspective.

Mastering Organisation Performance and Measurement Bootcamp is a practical, intense programme for managers and directors who want to increase their knowledge of the science of organisation performance and measurement as a means of importing successful tools, techniques, approaches and ‘nous’ into their organisation. The programme delivers a high impact experience that connects grounded, evidence-based practice with the use of Harvard organisation case studies employing our SCART methodology. Throughout the programme, participants will also be able to use the learned critical and systems thinking, approaches and insight to assist with subsequent organisational implementation.
