The Action
Management System provides a method of assessing the performance of
both the business as a whole and users.
However
before you can assess the performance of anything it is critical
that you establish three things:
(1) The most appropriate
measurement characteristic for each Action. (2) The targets that
you feel are achievable within the review period. (3) The "tools"
that enable an Action to be completed to meet the targets
assigned.
Business Operational
Actions are typically "team actions", and although one primary
person is allocated accountability for each of these actions (view
simple Excel example), these actions are normally
"organisation-wide" Actions.
User Actions are Job
Actions, and are spread over many individuals that constitute
the "team" that will together deliver the Business Operational
Actions. So any one User Action that is assigned to an
individual can introduce an increased risk to a Business Operational
Action if the individual does not perform this Action to the
level expected. For this reason AMS provides for a regular review
process for both user and business Actions.
People do what you
"inspect" ...... not what you "expect". AMS is therefore based on
measuring and assessing both non-financial business performance and
personal performance that has been derived from the unique DNA of
the business. This reflects the true purpose of the business. The
final components of AMS are the "tools" required to carry out the
Operational and Job Actions. In AMS we consolidate all these
tools in one place called the
Knowledgebase.
