In performance management, leading and lagging KPIs are commonly used terms. But is their meaning completely understood?
Leading KPIs usually measure things that address what can create future value (e.g. % Employee engagement, # Innovation ideas, # Service lead time), while lagging KPIs look back at past performance (e.g. $ Sales revenue, $ Profits).
The KPI documentation form is a template that structures the most relevant information regarding a given indicator. Important fields of the form include: the KPI definition, Calculation formula and Target. In addition, other relevant fields can be used, such as: Subordinate measures, Limitations and Notes.
According to Fortune Magazine, Google is at present the number one best company to work for, and this is no surprise: the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, resembles a true recreational park. Employees have bikes to travel around the campus, free gyms, year round pools, healthy food courts andcolorful lounge areas.
Targets provide a reference point against which performance is measured. If targets are high or low, they can significantly affect the analysis of KPI’s results. Some analysts consider that stretch targets are the way to success, while others believe is better not to set targets at all.
Similar to the typical business environment, the field of arts is also interested in Performance Management, in implementing different standards and performance indicators that range from public appreciation to the artist’s investment in a project. It is an efficient way to bring improvement into an art organization’s performance, in the quality and diversity of its products, in the engagement of the audience and in the artist’s individually.
