Assess your organisation's performance management readiness

To assess the readiness of your organisation for performance management, use the following questionnaire.

Select the number that best suits you:

1 = Strongly agree with the statement on the left
2 = Agree with the statement on the left
3 = Neutral
4 = Agree with the statement on the right
5 = Strongly agree with the statement on the right

Statement 1 2 3 4 5 Statement
We take planning seriously           Planning is a paper exercise for us
We know what factors influence the performance of our business           We have never really come to grips with the factors that influence the performance of our business
We take a long term view of our business           We operate mostly from day to day
Our managers take a broad view of business results           Our managers focus only on financial outcomes
We have strong human relations in our company           We are not really a people focused business
People accept accountability readily in our business           People avoid taking accountability in our business
We use consultants sparingly – only where we lack the skills required for the task           We over-use consultants – they are everywhere in our company
The sections of our business work well together           The sections of our business work as silos
We apply tools/techniques only when we are sure they are right for us           We apply the latest tools/ techniques without fully evaluating their value to us
If staff need skill development in our business, they get it – no questions asked           We do not provide adequate training and development for our staff

If you score more than 30 on this diagnostic, you are less ready for performance management but more in need of it. That is, you:

  • are in strong need of performance management because the attitudes/capabilities of the organisation are not performance focused
  • should change the attitudes/capabilities of the organisation through the performance management process itself
  • will find implementing performance management relatively difficult
