Hi,
With respect to Fitzgerald and Moon’s building block model, I have worked out a couple of questions and some give the answer as having the following dimensions:
Results – financial performance, competitive performance
Determinants – quality, flexibility, resource utilisation, innovation
while others go even deeper mentioning the 3 concepts:
Dimensions – as above
Standards – ownership, availability, fairness
Rewards – clarity, controllability, motivation
Do we just need to know the dimensions or do we have to know all 3 concepts please? Also, when asked to define this model, do we refer to the dimensions or all 3 concepts? I am confused as I came across different answers and I am not sure if perhaps one of them is from an older syllabus.
Thanks
You need both, really.
First the dimensions: areas of performance you need to do well in.
Standards [for KPIs]: This means that you have set targets for the dimensions that people/businesses should achieve. But, these will only be effective if they are perceived as fair, must be perceived as achievable [not available], and people must feel ownership ie that they have played a part in setting the standards.
Rewards: success in achieving the standards should result in rewards. These should motivate, it should be clear how they can be won, and should relate to factors that can be controlled.
Great thanks a lot 🙂
