Performance Management Training

Why should we consider both performance measurement and management?

To achieve your sustainability goals and commitments you need to understand how you and your supply chain are performing. Aligning your reporting framework with your strategy sets a clear direction for how you will achieve your commitments. It’s about more than just reporting data – performance measurement is about understanding progress against indicators by collecting, validating and presenting accurate data. Performance management then takes this a step further by tracking progress against your sustainability goals and taking action and data-driven decisions to improve your sustainability impacts.

Performance measurement and management during any project or contract, whatever the size, has several benefits:

Enables the supply chain to demonstrate performance against contractual targets and requirements.
Demonstrates progress against plans, mitigating impacts in real-time and understanding any risks or opportunities for improvement.
Enables companies to gain commercial advantage through their ability to demonstrate performance.
