Programme outline
Best practice measurement and reporting
It is likely that your measures and reports are too slow, detailed and lack performance insights. Most managers don’t know where they are until two weeks after each month end. You need to raise your game and provide your partners with fast, frequent and relevant information. This workshop will teach you: 

• how to turn “dumb KPIs” into intelligence using business analytics and corporate performance management
• how to design ‘reports on a page’ and use trends
• how to design team-based scorecards and align measures and rewards
• using comparisons (benchmarking, peer to peer comparison) to drive continuous improvement
• the law of unintended consequences and avoiding them – conflict of measures and adverse human behaviours
• how to open up the information system and communicate results more effectively
• thinking big when goal setting – stretched goals

Case examples are drawn from a wide range of organisations.
