Without performance measurement, monitoring the achievement of business critical objectives would be impossible. The primary goal of performance measurement is to provide the tools needed by management and their staff to ensure that every milestone and deadline in the workplace is tracked, attained and assessed for ongoing organisational success.
Performance measurement aims to link individual and team performance to an overall business plan. It's about more than just setting and meeting deadlines; it's about implementing strategies to motivate and reward staff, as well as refining project strategies in line with shifting resources and requirements.
Key to effective performance measurement is gaining consensus at senior management level on overall strategy and objectives. This is then broken into smaller components and cascaded down throughout the organisation - each component being allocated to an individual or department. The next step is to get ‘buy in’ from these stakeholders, and to ensure they know just how important they are in achieving overall success. This enables an organisation to align individual efforts and ensure that collective energies are spent as efficiently as possible on the attainment of set goals and objectives.
