Scorecard / Dashboard Development Process

Balanced scorecards and performance dashboards have become the popular method for communicating and displaying complex data in visual, more simplistic views.  The Scorecard Development Methodology consists of 31 key processes spanning across seven phases that help you display how well your organization is reaching it's short and long term goals.

 IT Performance Lifecycle

IT performance management assists organizations with the increasing demands of maximizing value creation from technology investments, reducing risk from IT, decreasing architectural complexity, and optimizing overall technology expenditures.  The IT Performance Lifecycle illustrates how service level agreements, performance-based contracts, data sources and products and services catalogs to generate reports that help an organization understand how well they are measuring up to business objectives.

Lifecycle Performance Improvement Process

The Lifecycle Performance Improvement Process is a ten step, systematic methodology for identifying weaknesses and the root causes of performance problems, and implementing a solution that applies to those specific performance deficits.

Cross Functional Integration Flow

Organizations use departments and business units in order to differentiate the various functions and services which drive their business.    The problem is most business intelligence systems are built to support decision making in those specific functional areas rather than being built around core processes that span the enterprise and govern how the business operates. The cross functional integration flow illustrates the efficiencies of across-functional organization versus a "siloed" or functional thinking organization.

Metadata Lifecycle

Metadata refers to the collection of information about the data stored in an application or database.  The objective of a metadata initiative is to build a framework for accurately capturing, sharing, distributing, securing and leveraging your company’s data and maintaining it in an enterprise repository.

The Metadata Lifecycle Process is a 20 step process that walks you through the requirements assessment and specification, content analysis, the metadata system, and service and evaluation.

Process Performance Lifecycle

Performance management depends on organizational goals being distributed and measured throughout the entire organization, originating from the executive board and communicated all the way down the line.  The Mission and Goal Alignment Process illustrates this dependency and how to successfully translates your mission and goals into organizational success.

Workforce Performance Lifecycle

A primary goal of performance management is getting people within the organization to understand and execute what they need to in order to help the organization reach its objectives.  The Workforce Performance Lifecycle is a four phase model which illustrates the necessary processes to develop an effective performance management system, to gain employee buy-in and to create a high performance culture.
