Learn how you can replicate this program within your own company to make better business decisions and measure what truly matters.

It's not even half of the potential of the CPO.
21 May 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The true potential of the Chief Performance Officer role is to be the leader of an organisation's or company's performance culture. In other words, the CPO leads people from top to bottom in the organisation to adopt evidence-based decision making, to measure what matters, and to use measures to guide the improvement of business processes and results for stakeholders.
A CPO needs a range of skills and tools to do this: they must have an excellent appreciation of strategic and operational planning and execution, excellent skills in helping people to choose relevant measures, implement those measures and use those measures in decision making. They must be great with people, and skilled at facilitating people through the fears and concerns and complexities of meaningfully measuring what matters.
The CPO is so much more than "a heads-up display for the CEO". They are leaders, and leaders in a field that most organisations and companies struggle with more than any other management discipline. Mastering performance measurement and performance management is more about people issues than about the technology and tools that this book focuses on.
Read it along with Dean R. Spitzer's "Transforming Performance Measurement" and you'll understand what I mean.Transforming Performance Measurement: Rethinking the Way We Measure and Drive Organizational Success

EPM requires execution in a real world environment
25 May 2009
Format:Paperback
I have been reading Business Intelligence / Performance Management materials for more than ten years. I purchased and read this book with an expectation of finding new useful contents in it. Instead, I realized that almost all of the contents had been covered in other books previously published by other authors, in a much better way.
