Improving productivity by developing an effective performance management system
Name: Effective Performance Management
Components: 2 Seminar Presentations
Duration: 14 hours
Most organizations do not have a performance management system in place that measures firm productivity across the production, delivery and promotion of services, and identify corrective actions that are required. As a result they cannot identify and improve consistently limiting factors such as unproductive processes, communication break-downs, unmotivated and ill-prepared staff.
In order to improve productivity organizations must develop an innovative approach to performance management, which helps companies operationalise their strategic priorities.
Given the complexity of these tasks and luck of experience to deal with such issues, training and guidance is needed.
