Performance management is about planning, doing, checking and acting. In other words, it involves formulating a plan of activities, establishing a set of objectives, setting key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure performance, and appraising actual performance. Therefore, managers direct the discussion towards key concepts such as objectives, goals, KPIs, desired state of evolution and outcomes. The ultimate goal is to help organizations reach top performance at different organizational levels.
The reasons for initiating strategic planning can vary from one organization to another, but its positive outcomes are generally the same. Strategic planning supports the clarification of the desired state of evolution and provides the framework for future projects, for improving performance and aligning employees efforts to strategy. The end result is that all these elements will enable the organization to provide better value for money for its customers or citizens.
