Organisational Performance

Advanced Performance Management I: Focus on Frameworks, Approaches, Tools and Techniques

2 day Workshop

12th - 13th September 9:00 am-4:30 pm

Stirling Management Centre Stirling , FK9 4LA

Workshop overview

Aimed senior managers in the public sector who are involved in measuring and managing performance, this workshop looks at operational issues, tools and techniques for effective performance measurement and management.

The strategic, behavioural and cultural aspects of performance management will be covered in Part II which is being held on 6-7 November in Stirling and in Sheffield on 11-12 December.

Workshop content

Day 1 - Performance measurement and management

1. Overview of the current challenges in performance measurement

The workshop will start by discussing the main issues public sector organisations are currently facing as regards to performance measurement. Examples of scorecards and dashboards will be reviewed, with particular emphasis on the key success factors for their design, implementation and use.


2. Performance management systems

Most organisations have objectives and measures, but they are often disconnected and used for control and reporting purposes. Here we will look at how to best design and introduce Balanced Scorecards and dashboards, and how to make them relevant to the workforce.


3. Performance indicators and targets to drive behaviours

Performance targets and indicators can help organisations define and achieve their strategic objectives, align behaviours and attitudes and, ultimately, have a positive impact on organisational performance. However, they have also been criticised for encouraging dysfunctional behaviours, stifling innovation and learning, and having little effect on decision-making processes. This workshop will demonstrate that the process of design and implementation of targets and indicators, and the definition of their roles are fundamental factors to determine their success and impact on performance. In this session delegates will have the opportunity to design and comment on performance indicators and targets relevant for their organisations.


Day 2 - From measurement to improvement

1. Achieving efficiency gains

The second day of the workshop will start by discussing ways to achieve efficiency savings to release resources for front line service delivery. Through the identification of types of ‘waste', opportunities for reducing costs will be outlined and applied to a number of cases. Several problem-solving tools and techniques will also be presented and applied.


2. Delivering higher quality services

Public sector organisations are increasingly demanded to enhance the quality of the services they provide while reducing cost. In this session we will examine both processes and activities from a ‘customer' perspective. Moreover, we will investigate ways to build a culture of stopping to fix problems and create value for the customer.


3. Design and implementation of a performance measurement system

Here we will discuss real life examples of development, use and review of performance management systems and their roles in improving the performance of both public and private sector organisations. We will conclude with a list of do's and don'ts in performance measurement and management.

Exercises:
  • Performance indicators and targets
  • Fishbone diagrams
  • Value stream mapping

Please note: The strategic, behavioural and cultural aspects of performance management will be covered in Part II in Kenilworth on 17-17 May and Stirling on 13-14 June.
