Improving performance management
Metapraxis addresses the gap between performance measurement and performance management. The Business Control Cycle™ has been used to support our engagements for major companies for over a decade and is fundamental to our work.
Most companies spend a considerable amount of time and money in improving their measurement systems but they often ignore the need for comparable improvements in Analysis, Dialogue and Commitment. The result is the classic complaint that "we have too much data but not enough information". Metapraxis fills this gap via proven techniques which:
- Provide powerful business analysis templates that can be immediately applied to client data
- Promote company dialogue by identifying the messages graphically rather than using "walls of numbers"
- Encourage commitment to rapid decisions that are often taken months earlier than otherwise.
- Line managers' needs vs. accountants' skills
- Underlying trends vs. single periods
- Future risks vs. historic results
- Business drivers vs. financial outcomes
- Top-down inquiry vs. bottom-up aggregation
- Generating curiosity vs. producing the numbers
- Immediate business needs vs. long-term projects.
