Performance
Management
Top 5
ToolsBy Bernard Marr
Organizations have long
been obsessed with
managing and measuring
performance and there is
little sign of this easing up.
A recent global survey of
over 3000 organizations
found the top tools used
today to manage
performance.
Top
Tools
1.  Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs)
2.  Performance Appraisals
3.  Mission and Vision Statements
4.  Management Dashboards
5.  Lean Management
6.  Benchmarking
7.  Balanced Scorecard (BSC)
8.  Reward and Recognition
Schemes
KPIs:
Most companies use
them, but few use them
well.
Make sure you measure
what matters…
Performance Appraisals:
60% of companies use
them, but (again) few use
them well.
Make sure the process is
trusted, fair and
transparent…
Mission & Vision Statements:
Over half of companies use
them, but (again) few use
them well.
Make sure they clearly spell
out the purpose and
ambition…
Management Dashboards:
Over half of companies
use them, but (again) few
use them well.
Make sure they
communicate insights and
not just data…
Lean Management:
About half of companies
use them, but (again) few
use them well.
Make sure you optimize
what matters the most, not
what is most easy to do…
