With the "right" measures, you can more easily see and treat performance problems and reinforce business outcomes for customers, employees, and other stakeholders. Following a six-phase Performance Scorecard model, your managers, supervisors, and leaders can develop and deploy critical performance measures, establishing a clear "line of sight" between the strategic goals of their senior managers and the tactical goals of their workgroups. Integrating on-the-job application with training, our hands-on Line Of Sight (LOS) program enables them to draft a functional Performance Scorecard for their workgroup that includes a Scorecard Summary, a Scorecard Glossary, and a Scorecard Report.
