Business performance

This IBM® Redbook is primarily intended for use by IBM Clients and IBM Business Partners. In it we discuss and demonstrate technology, architectures, techniques, and product capabilities for business performance management (BPM). BPM is a relatively new and evolving initiative that brings together a number of technologies to monitor and manage the attainment of business measurements and goals. However, this redbook is not intended to be a comprehensive treatise on BPM, but more of an introduction to help you understand it and get started with your implementation....

The traditional view of the relationship between business and the arts is very much a one-way affair: organisations may endorse, fund or publicise the arts but the arts have nothing to offer from a business perspective. The Value of Arts for Business challenges this view by showing how the arts, in the form of Arts-based Initiatives (ABIs), can be used to enhance valuecreation capacity and boost business performance. The book introduces and explains three models that show how organisations can successfully implement and manage ABIs.

When we published the first edition of Paying for Performance in 1997, the business climate was very different than it is today. At that time, the U.S. financial markets were in the midst of an unprecedented multiyear boom. Many established companies were delivering record profits, but perhaps more important, a myriad of “new economy” marvels were rewriting long-standing rules about the relationship between earnings and market value, the relative importance of growth and profitability, and the definition of what constitutes successful business performance.

From the very beginning of the transition from the traditional purchasing system reviews to the redesigned assessment approach that replaced them, it was understood that further refinement and continuous improvement was planned. Consistent with that long-term strategy, and building on the originally redesigned federal purchasing assessments, the business system assessment models of the PEAmembers have evolved to be more aligned with the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach to performance measurement and management, which is currently in use by many “world class” private corporations.

It has always fascinated me how energetic, passionate, and in some cases fanatical people get over a topic like performance management and cost management. Over the years I have seen discussions that could have doubled as death matches over whether you should use a verb/noun description of an activity in an ABC model. I have always tried to boil it down to something simple. To me, performance management is optimizing your organization’s performance.

The purpose of this chapter is to outline a comprehensive framework for financial statement analysis.

‘In my experience a major shortcoming of most “how to” books on leadership and management is that they purport to offer “Silver Bullets” – magical solutions that, once revealed, will enrich and transform the reader and his or her organisation. Regrettably, business life is not that simple. Rather, it is characterised by uncertainty and lack of precedent and complicated by the different wants, needs and motivations of people.

The Strategic Learning concept presented in this book owes a lot to the two great learning laboratories that have shaped my ideas. The first was my two decades as a CEO. These years infused in me a strong sense of pragmatism. Life in the trenches, I discovered, is always messy. So the most important question to ask about any business idea is simply, Does it work? In these pages, I’ve tried to capture some of the ideas that do work, so that my colleagues in business leadership may benefit from them....

It is important to distinguish between data and information. Data is a raw fact and can take the form of a number or statement such as a date or a measurement. It is necessary for businesses to put in place procedures to ensure data are recorded. For example, to ensure a call centre operator includes the postcode of every customer this can be written into their script and a validation check performed to check these data have been entered into the system.
