1. Buy-InDon’t make performance
management a top management
initiative – ensure buy-in from the
top to the bottom. Make it
relevant to everyone!© 2014 Advanced Performance Institute, BWMC Ltd. All rights reserved.
2. MotivationDon’t manage performance for
someone else. Make sure you do it
because you want to, in order to
improve performance!

3. Alignment
Make sure you align strategic with operational performance management. Don’t run them in
siloes like many companies!

4. Analytics Align your traditional performance
management with your analytics
and business intelligence activities. Again, no siloes!

5. Time FocusMake sure your performance metrics
look into the future rather than the
past! Predictive performance is the future.

6. Data Quality
Make sure data quality is managed throughout your business. Remember:Garbage in, garbage out!

7. TechnologyUse the right software tools to
manage performance. Office tools
are not the way to do it! Use proper analytics, reporting and dashboard tools.
