"Stacey, thanks so much for your fantastic Performance Measure Blueprint - it’s really given us momentum. We finished our draft Results Map the day after the workshop. We’re hoping to socialise the results map in a leadership conference to demonstrate how our strategy cascades to operational outcomes." Kate Dellar, Team Leader - BT Performance Reporting, Suncorp

"Since the workshop, I've used a couple of the techniques successfully. I've used the results map to look at the outcomes we're responsible for, and it provided a framework for thinking about the results that we as a department have control over." Moira Lugg, Manager Performance and Evaluation, South Australia

How-to Kit: How to Make Your Strategy Measurable

Note: This PuMP How-to Kit is no longer available
(but it will be replaced by a new & vastly more practical version during 2012)

There are three main reasons that people fail to do the first of these two steps properly enough to make the second step work as it should.

Reason 1 is you are trying to measure goals or objectives or strategies that are too vague. Is your strategy full of weasel words like efficient, effective, optimal, enhanced, balanced, improved, best-practice, value and streamlined? Do any of your objectives or goals sound like motherhood statements?

Reason 2 is that you're trying to come up with performance measures too soon, BEFORE you've made the results worth measuring crystal clear.

Reason 3 is that you're trying to measure too much. What is key about 87 key performance indicators?

This How-to Kit lays out, in easy to follow instructions supported by examples, the powerful results mapping technique to de-weasel your strategy, and clearly articulate the results most worth measuring at all levels in your company or organisation.

It makes cascading strategy so much more logical and easy, to give everyone a powerful line of sight from their work results through to the corporate goals.

Who it's for:

• Performance measurement practitioners and consultants who lead and facilitate teams to decide which of their results align to corporate strategy, and are worth measuring.
• Corporate Planners who facilitate strategic or operational planning sessions and want to be sure the strategy is easy to measure.
• Business Analysts who want to be proactive in assisting their managers and clients to clearly articulate the results worth measuring and reporting.
• Managers who want to easily communicate strategy, and engage people in cascading strategy and measuring the drivers of business outcomes.
• Project Officers who want to identify the results of their initiatives and goals that are most worth measuring.

What's included:

This is a fully digital product, and immediately after purchase, you will download the following great resources:

• Easy to follow instruction booklet, well organised, easy to follow and in colour
• Resources including templates, examples and handouts to use with your team and make implementation easy and quick
