Can Performance Pyramid be applied to not for profit organisations? If it does what are the major differences in comparison with applying it to a profit seeking organisation?
thank you!November 30, 2013 at 5:39 pm #148681It can be, with a bit of tweaking.
Think of a state financed hospital. All the items on Levels 3 and 4 are still directly relevant (customer satisfaction = patient satisfaction, waste, flexibility etc).
Financial is relevant because the hospital will have to live within its means.
Market is the one that’s a bit different because a state hospital has a bit of a monopoly. However, the hospital has to deliver what the population wants and this wish can be expressed through political changes.

December 2, 2013 at 8:41 am #148993I think it’s quite difficult to explain it without a diagram. A diagram will save you time in the long-run.
