Output/outcome:

  • Output: an output is a tangible or intangible deliverable of an activity
  • Outcome: an outcome is a result for a stakeholder enabled by one or more outputs

Measuring people:

  • Results‐based measuring is the easiest way to translate strategic objectives into measured actions
  • Must have the skills and abilities needed to complete required work and selfmonitor their performance and correct performance errors
  • Motivates people to improve, allows autonomy on how to deliver the results (lifelong learning)

Setting performance goals:

  • Meet face-to-face to discuss and agree goals
  • Make sure goals are suitable for the individual
  • Ensure goals are specific, measurable and documented
  • Define goals for each organization, function, team, employee (link each team goal to organization goals or service goals)
  • Align goals with customer needs and work activities
  • Use both qualitative and quantitative goals
  • Monitor goals and adjust them if they are not realistic or the situation changes (guiding principles: progress iteratively with feedback)
  • Good goals help you measure the impact of changes and improvements

2. Culture of continual improvement

Everyone knows that continual improvement is a good thing but it is only effective when it is embedded in the culture:

  • It doesn’t happen by itself
  • A continual improvement register and a process for managing improvements will not make it happen

Key people often drive continual improvement: what happens when they leave ?

Great organizations embed continual improvement in their culture:

  • Transparency and trust
  • Management by example
  • Expectation of continual improvement
 itil 4
  • Active encouragement of positive behaviours in recruitment, onboarding, meeting culture, language, taxonomy…
  • Marketing and celebration of success
  • Clarity on continual improvement process, tools, decision‐making…

Consider organizational change management to build great culture
