Performance Management System
Performance Management System
In organizational context, Goals are those ends that an organization seeks to achieve
by it existence and operation.
Goals should not be grand or complex. They need only be statements of results we
hope to achieve. These are a desired future state that the organization attempts to
realize while, Plans are a blueprint specifying the resources allocation, schedules, and
other actions necessary for attaining goals. A plan defines how a goal will be
achieved. It provides the structure needed to accomplish daily organizational activities
and outlines the necessary activities, the resources to be allocated, and how the work
will be assigned.
There are various steps of planning and aims in an organization. Aims at every step
helps the company.
Strategic Goals: Broad statements of how the organization should be and where
the organization wants to be in future, pertaining the goals as a whole rather than
to specific divisions or departments. Strategic goals are like:
Explain the steps the company wants to achieve.
The blueprint that defines activities
Tactical Goals: Goals that describe the outcomes that major divisions and
departments must achieve for the organization to achieves its overall goals.
Tactical goals are like:
Specific part of the company’s strategy
Plans of the divisions and departments
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Achievable
R = Relevant
T = Time-bound
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Specific: It explains the ‘wh’ family such as Who, What, When, Where, Which, and
Why. The more specific a goal is, the more we can find ways of reaching out target. A
certain goal will make it simpler for those writing goals and action strategy to mark
the mentioned questions:
Who is to be involved?
What is to be accomplished?
Where will this happen?
When will this happen?
How much?
How many?
How will I know when it is accomplished?
What is at the finish line?
Achievable: Is the goal achievable with the achievable with the available resources?
Is the goal achievable within the time originally outlined? Based on the present
restrictions such as our schedule, workload, and knowledge, do we believe we can
attain the objective we set? If not, then set a different goal, one that is attainable for us
in the present.
Time-bound: Goals should find a confirmed target date for fulfilment and/or
recurrence for certain steps that are key for realizing the goal. Setting a deadline
reinforces and motivates us to take action. By setting a time-line, we can avoid
internal pressure and complete our goal within that time frame.
The best SMART goals gives guidance to the employees and keep them updated in a
changing competitive time. Thus employees focused on their performance throughout
the evaluation period.
The two kinds of objectives included into goals written to compare achievement in
functional competencies:
SMART goal is a goal-setting plan that groups can use to develop an actionable
marketing plan to keep the company's long-term purposes, combining sales and
consumer engagement plans. Practical SMART goals can aid our teams in clarifying
their purposes. Search out locations that needs renovation and create an successful
advertising campaign. SMART goals in marketing can escalate overall revenues and
upgrade client alliances. It is important to assess the ways to use the plan in marketing
to find out if it's right for our demands. We can market the recently introduced two-
wheeler electric mobility scooter with effective advertising campaign, Public
Speaking, and with Mass marketing.
With this balanced scorecards, companies can find their POVs and plans, rendering
those into action strategy. In the process of rendering the actions into the balanced
scorecard, companies can create the planned framework and get the performance
goals. And the scorecard can also set the way to get the performance aims. Kaplan and
Norton explained that the balanced scorecard during keeping the traditional financial
scales, can also help the organization to scale the ability to develop future value,
considering for the handouts in 4 perspectives, i.e., customers, finance, internal
business process, and learning and growth.
The Learning and Growth Perspective: Kaplan and Norton influence its need
in every organization. They think about learning to be more necessary than
training. Learning , needs in-house guides and teachers, free flow of transmission,
and employees can reach their superiors in the time of any problem while doing
their jobs. Through learning, employees can grow and self-improve.
Development is a more universal term as compared to development. As
development is short, growth is permanent. With growth, an employee can get
one-time performance results, however with learning strengthen growth
employees can frequently deliver better performance results every time. In this
perspective we can simply say that, if “Forever Young” expanding then we are
having more global opportunities, we interact cross culture platform,
globalization so we can learn South Asian culture and their norms, by this way
we’ll adapt the new culture and tradition which leads to increase in oral profits.
Business Process Perspective: Kaplan and Norton, two supporters of the
balanced scorecard, tells employees' fulfilment focus on inside business
processes. Knowledge of inside business process perspective allows employees to
realize the way that the company is done by the organization, the limit of
accordance of products and services to customers' requirements, the task of the
company, the steps of planned management, etc. When “Forever Young”
expanding the organization need to hire more resources from the local and train
them according to the need or situation. If we have already working employees
from same country then they have upper-hand in terms of the freshers. We can
give them training about these 4 perspective so that this will help in expanding
the organization.
The Customer Perspective: When companies are customer centred and are able
to give the customers what they needs, then success can be realized at much more
easily. No company can survive with unsatisfied clients. Efforts from all
sampling of employees add to customers' content. In other words, every
employee adds helps value to the customers, disregards of their character of
work. A discontent customer moves to other suppliers and their discontent also
effects the other potential customers of the company. This concludes in the failure
of the business. So, for all these reasons, labour must work to reach the level of
the customers' demand and make the satisfy customers. Thus, to measure
employees' performance from customers' perspective, it is essential for the
organization to develop various metrics analyzing the customers’ data. As
“Forever Young” brand working in India so well, so we have to focus on good
point and have to apply same in South Asian branch as well so that we have
satisfied customer there as well and this will help us expanding overall business
in South Asia.
The Financial Perspective: As it has already been mentioned, Kaplan and
Norton did not make the requirement for ,monetary outcomes dispensable.
Finance and also the monetary outcomes are supposed to continue to receive
companies’ priority. As a matter of fact, without scrapping the requirement to
pivot on money, they also included the requirement for future value addition
possibility of the companies. Some of the key financial standards like employees'
ability to find out the risk, ability to reason the cost benefit, etc. are the most
critical performance indicators for this perspective.Once more, like in other
POVs, every examples of employee must also work to reach the financial POVs.
Overall expansion of “Forever Young” will help us in financial stability, we’ll
have more financial or monetary benefits.
Conclusion:
Thus, balanced scorecard translates strategy into action. The idea takes the hints from
the companies vision and planning and then create main performance indicators in all
the four POVs. Each performance indicator is determined in terms of specific well-
designed standards against which the work of an employee is measured. To create a
balanced scorecard, organizations at the outset identify the vision, aligning their value
and philosophies. Then, through mission, organizations concertize this vision. Mission
clarifies the purpose of the organization. Goals are then set within the bounds of task,
which then falls to certain plans and action plans. Such certain action plans become
the key performance indicators (KPI), which then become the final performance aims
for the company. KPIs can be translated into measurable performance scorecards
including all the perspectives.

Ans.3)a) SMART goals setting brings structure into our goals and objectives. In stead
of vague resolutions, SMART goal setting promotes verifiable trajectories towards a
certain objective, with clear milestones and an estimation of the goal’s attainability.
When the goals are to be set, a useful phrase to recall is S.M.A.R.T. Goals should
explain achievements , not tasks.
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Achievable
R = Relevant
T = Time-bound
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Specific: It explains the ‘wh’ family such as Who, What, When, Where, Which, and
Why.
Achievable: Is the goal achievable with the achievable with the available resources?
Time-bound: Goals should find a confirmed target date for fulfilment and/or
recurrence for certain steps that are key for realizing the goal.
Bug free environment - if product have bug then this won’t be cost effective.
Work in such a way that first product should be best and final one for cost-
effective environment.
We should check product at very first stage so we can save our transportation
expenses and packaging charges. If quality check is accurate then final product
will be best for customers.
b) Goals are part of every aspect of business/life and provide a sense of direction,
motivation, a transparent focus, and clarify importance. By setting goals, we’re
providing ourself with a target to aim for. A SMART goal is used to help advise goal
setting. Therefore, a SMART goal includes all of these standard to help focus our
efforts and grow the chances of attaining our goal.
The following broad guidelines will help to set effective, achievable goals:
State each goal as a +ive statement – Express our goals +ively – "Perform this
method well" is a much better goal than "Don't make this foolish mistake."
Be precise – Set precise goals, fixing dates, times and amounts in order we can
measure achievement. If we do this, we’ll know exactly when we have achieved
the goal, and can take complete satisfaction from having achieved it.
Set priorities – When we have several goals, give each a priority. This helps us to
avoid feeling overwhelmed by having too many goals, and helps to direct our
attention to the most important ones.
Write goals down – This solidify them and provide them more force.
Keep operational goals small – Keep the low-level goals that we're working
towards small and achievable. If a goal is too large, then it can seem that we are
not making progress towards it. Possessing goals small and accumulative
provides more chances for prize.
Set performance goals, not outcome goals – We should take care to set goals
over which we have as much control as possible. It can be quite disappointing to
fail to attain a personal goal for cause beyond our control! In business, these
causes could be bad business envt.s or unpredicted effects of govt. policy. In
games, they could incorporate poor deciding, bad weather, wound, or just plain
bad luck. If we base our goals on personal performance, then we can keep control
over the achievement of our goals, and draw satisfaction from them.
Set realistic goals – It's important to set goals that we can achieve. All kind of
people can establish irrational goals for us. They will often do this in ignorance of
our own desires and ambitions. It's also possible to set goals that are too difficult
because we might not appreciate either the obstacles in the way, or understand
quite how much skill we need to evolved to attain a specific level of execution.
