The Matter of Use

1. The first purpose of performance measurement is to improve performance.

2. Avoid the performance measurement equals punishment trap.•Create a healthy organizational environment.

•Start small.

•Build bottom-up and top-down simultaneously.

1. To Ourselves Can we do better than our own history?

2. To Others When it is a fair apples/apples comparison.

3. To Standards When we know what good performance is.

Comparing Performance



1. To Ourselves First

Can we do better than our own history?

Using a BaselineCHART ON THE WALL


1. To Ourselves First Can we do better than our own history?

The Matter of Standards

Quantity

ctEf

fort1. Quality of Effort Standards aresometimes WELL ESTABLISHED

• Child care staffing ratios• Application processing time• Handicap accessibility• Child abuse response time

2. Quality of Effect Standards arealmost always EXPERIMENTAL

• Hospital recovery rates • Employment placement and

retention rates• Recidivism rates

3. Both require aLEVEL PLAYING FIELD and an ESTABLISHED RECORDof what good performance is.
