Performance measurement and control

Choosing not only the right performance measures but also the volume of measurement is extremely important for any organisation

Trying to satisfy too many aspects can result in a data overload, which in turn can paralyse the process of continuous improvement. Conversely, too few measures can result in a misdirected focus of attention

The Breakthrough approach is that of creating a measurement portfolio that is in tune with the market, organisational needs and strategic intent

When agreed upon, we go beyond normal control mechanisms to make the whole process dynamic. Not only do we link improvement activities to the measure but we create a process of predictability that validates the activities effectiveness

This close loop process albeit conceptually simple is difficult to implement as it creates a whole new level of control. However, when eventually it becomes perceived as the natural way to measure and control it can bring about a dramatic improvement
