Riassunto

A corporate performance management system can transform your business - but only if it is designed and implemented in the right way. this book will provide you with the tools and approaches to help translate your strategy into action and make you aware of the pitfalls to be avoided.

The Handbook of Corporate Performance Management takes a practical approach, offering guidance on what works, tools to use, and how leadership makes an essential contribution to success.

THE BOOK IS BROADLY DIVIDED INTO FOUR SECTIONS:

• Section One Provides the essential toolkit for setting up and implementing a corporate performance management system. It covers the processes and approaches you need to make it work.
• Section two explains how you can use performance management to manage your business from tracking performance through the management review process to checking whether your strategy is still appropriate.
• Section three provides guidance for measuring specific key areas; financial performance, staff performance, customers, processes, competence and resource development, and sustainability.
• Section four is about bringing it all together. Case studies of individuals from widely differing organisations, who have all delivered great results, illustrate the importance of good leadership in creating a culture of high performance.
