Performance Management Systems Explained

By admin | August 17, 2010

What are performance management systems and what can they do for our company or organisation? First we have to understand what performance management is about. Wikipedia has good explanations on computer related terms of today, this is what they have to say about performance management: Performance management includes activities to ensure that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner. Performance management can focus on the performance of an organization, a department, employee, or even the processes to build a product or service, as well as many other areas. Performance Management as referenced on this page is a broad term. See Aubrey Daniels for a detailed explanation of the origin of the term Performance Management (PM) which was coined by Dr. Aubrey C. Daniels in the late 1970s to describe a technology (i.e., science imbedded in applications methods) for managing both behavior and results, the two critical elements of what is known as performance.
