Our Organization Performance Management Questionnaire is a valuable tool for assessing and strengthening performance management and success. It helps boards and leaders align metrics with strategic goals, encourage open discussion about challenges, and drive accountability and continuous improvement. By focusing on both predictive and historical measures, this tool supports proactive decision making and ensures that performance management reflects stakeholder expectations and fosters innovation.

This tool explores key elements such as strategy alignment, customer experience, culture, innovation, reporting efficiency and executive incentives. It guides users in evaluating how well their performance systems identify issues, benchmark against competitors, address disruptive changes and connect outcomes to shareholder value. It also enables organizations to pinpoint opportunities for growth and refine their performance management practices.

Sample questions include:

• Is the board satisfied with the quality of performance reporting, both for the full board and its standing committees?
• Is the performance system efficient, or does management have to engage in time-consuming “fire drill” efforts to prepare performance information for board meetings?
• Do directors take the initiative to gather information and insights from a broad range of sources and not rely solely on the company’s internal metrics?
