A two column approach could work, one for the measures and one for their management.
Note that there could be additional management problems not connected to measurement eg not meeting often enough, wrong people attempting management.
September 5, 2020 at 8:50 pm #583614is setting targets for managers according to their areas of responsibility performance measurement or management? when a question refers to performance management, is it okay to talk about the information systems needing to be good to provide reliable accurate and timely data so that performance can be managed?
September 5, 2020 at 8:56 pm #583615Setting targets is management: it encourages certain types of behaviour. Tracking results is measurement.
Yes, IS needs to be good eg capturing the correct information, doing analyses and summaries quickly enough and reporting information in useful and flexible ways.
