Trang 3The three Purposes of Key Performance Indicators
• To show results across the business … the
Scorecard
• To provide knowledge of how to improve
• To motivate and involve… to cause action
The latter point is the most
difficult.
All three are essential
Trang 4Managers getting Control of their Processes…
The best you can ever do as a front line manager with
a given Process
is:-1 Define what good looks like as an outcome in
simple measures
2 Frequently (SICs) measure whether you are
hitting that level
3 If you are …move the target
4 If not why not, where is the
leakage/waste/opportunity
5 Agree actions with your people
6 Log the actions
7 Review the actions frequently (SICs)
8 Ensure that actions are done
…and so get control of the process
Mapping or modelling a Process should make it clear
what to measure

Trang 7• We need a hierarchy so that everybody has someone to look to for development We need it for management.
• BUT We should view the organisation as a series of
processes with feedback loops There are internal
suppliers and customers and it all leads to the
customer.
• Ultimately we work for the customer not the boss.
Who do we work for?
Trang 8What do others say?
• Good to Great (Jim Collins)
– ‘Confront the brutal facts’
– ‘Be disciplined’
• Winning KPIs (David Parmenter)
– ‘Only 10% of (the Fortune 500) organisations know how
to use KPIs properly???’
– ‘A KPI which is not (reviewed) at the very least weekly is useless as a performance tool’
• Out of the Crisis (W Edwards Deming)
– ‘Understand the process’
Culture is fundamental… and how you use
information is fundamental to culture

Trang 18Short interval controls
• Look closer at the process and see more
• Aid the psychological ‘attitude to change’ process
• Enhance, reinforce and accelerate the learning process and
therefore the quality of the process improvements which actually happen
• Give time for re-adjustment when off plan, therefore creating
prevention
(example sales visits and filling coleslaw)
• Short interval control principles relate both to
– provision of KPIs and to
– review meeting
Trang 19A great culture has….
• Right figures, correct figures, remove fear
• Scientific, better decision making
• Honesty, openness and dealing in facts
• Efficiency in collecting information, reduced investigations and reduced ‘ad hoc’-ery
• Direction and purpose… targets lined up with strategy
• Learning and improvement throughout the organisation
• Empowerment, involvement

The Process of Change
Trang 22‘Full on’ KPIs
What we mean by ‘Full-On KPI’s’ is:-
• every area of the business has its high level and low level KPIs being produced automatically
• at the ideal intervals
• being reviewed with the people in the process
• against improvement targets
• regularly
• in a fixed hierarchy of well run Action Review Meetings
• being quantified in financial terms (££ per unit or per cent of out put, resource, waste etc.)
• going into a high level dashboard
• which is also reviewed regularly
• allowing top management to see that managers are
controlling their processes

OUTCOME COSTING/COST
-EFFECTIVENESS and INTEGRATED REPORTING in the PUBLIC SECTOR
Trang 26Macnab Consulting Ltd
Purpose of this Element of the Presentation
To provide some thoughts on:
• How outcome costing in public sector organisations can
assist:
•Resource allocations
•Strategy execution
•To determine cost-effectiveness/value for money
•Contribute to Integrated Reporting/Management
Trang 27Macnab Consulting Ltd
Public Sector
Presents significant challenges:
• Performance seldom confined to a single formal
organisation:
• Government is often an intermediary in process of
prioritisation and resource allocation
• PM system should include the organisation, numerous stakeholders & resources providers
• Need to balance divergent views and consensus
Trang 29Macnab Consulting Ltd
Strategy vs Structure
In public/not-for-profit sectors:
• Structures set up for administrative reasons
• Staff carry out functions in cross-cutting ways

Frameworks

organisational performance
• Frameworks incorporate non-financial measures which:
• Provides balance to financial measures to:
• Overcome potential for divergent activity
• Encourages:
• Discussions on organisational strategy

Importance of KPI Selection
to:
• Align institutional effort to goals
• Make the right causal linkages
• Assess progress towards those goals
1 KIPA – Key Impact Progress Assessment - A qualitative assessment of progress of an objective that has not reached a conclusion due to its long-term nature but which has seen effort expended (Macnab & Mitchell 2014).

Scottish Government Requires Value for Money
Public Services: “are high quality, continually improving, efficient and
responsive to local people's needs”:
“The quality of public services and the way in which they are
delivered has a major impact on Scottish society and the overall performance of the Scottish economy.
Better and more efficient public services enhance our quality of life, support sustainable economic growth and assure those that fund and rely on them that their public services are responsive, provide value for money and are continually improving.”

How do we Assess Effectiveness and Economy?
Effectiveness: assess - KPIs, KRIs, and KIPAs
• Attainment represents the desired outcome - proxy
for value
Economy (cost)
• Use outcome costing as the basis for deriving
relevant costs
Trang 51Macnab Consulting Ltd
Outcome Cost- Effectiveness Analysis
• “rate of change of costs c/w rate of change in outcomes”
• If outcome delivery (indicators) increases at faster rate than cost of resources allocated,
• or if resources cost decreases at faster rate than
outcomes delivery reduces,
• then cost-effectiveness increases
• Obviously, the converse is true
