For its strategy to be  successful,  an  organization  must  execute  it  effectively.  For that purpose, driving  performance systems help managers ensure that their decisions and results are consistent and aligned with their organization's strategic objectives and key success factors. Participants will develop their ability to design an integrative approach to performance management and measurement, addressing  how  the  organization  is  structured  and  decision-making  is  allocated,  how  performance is measured through financial as well as non-financial key performance indicators (KPls), and how performance measurement systems affect behaviors and decisions. 

The learning objectives are the following:

  • Assess  and  recommend  the  organizational  structure  and  control  mode  that  effectively  allocate  decision-making.
