ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE PROCESS

THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS DESCRIPTION

Accountability starts with clearly defined performance goals. Translating an organization$$s business objectives into daily $$deliverables$$ is the process side of management. It$$s often not enough just to know $$what to do$.$ It$$s also important to know the why and when and with whom and how well or how often in order for people to bring their best ideas and contributions to the work they do$.$

The Performance Results Description $($PRD$)$ allows individual team players and leaders to plot a path from the organization$$s mission, vision, values and goals, to their own measurable job objectives and deliverables. The PRD helps them discover and delineate individual job functions $($Key Result Areas$),$ but it definitively measures successful completion of those Key Result Areas $($KRAs$)$ through Performance Standards. This establishes clear$-$cut individual responsibility and accountability to the team, department and the organization as well. It allows all team members to measure and monitor their personal performance on a daily basis and minimizes the need for traditional systems of measurement and discipline.
