Stacey received a large number of questions from the audience, and was not able to answer all of them during the live seminar. She has taken the time to answer those questions in this article, "Q&A: Getting Started for Performance Measurement Novices."
From new subscribers to her free email newsletter for performance measurement practitioners, called Measure Up, Stacey Barr finds one of the most asked questions is: "How do I get started measuring performance?"
Despite the growing body of knowledge and success stories of corporate performance measurement, there are still teams (and sometimes entire corporations) where performance measurement is sporadic, ad hoc or even completely absent. Bringing in a corporate performance measurement system can be too overwhelming to implement, or even too daunting to consider. Something more practical is needed in cases like these.
This interactive session with Barr will lay out 12 simple steps to guide people and teams new to performance measurement, to quickly and easily experience the benefits of measuring what matters.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will:
- Understand the different approach needed to get started with performance measurement, versus the corporate, top-down approach to developing a performance measurement system
- Get some tips for how to encourage a team that doesn't measure performance to be willing to give it a go
- Learn the 12 basic steps that easily and quickly guide a team to measure what matters, for the first time
