ABOUT THIS COURSE
Today, stakeholders and funding organizations expect managers in public and nonprofit organizations to achieve the best results with the fewest resources. This workshop will teach you the essential skills to manage and improve the performance of your team, department, or organization. You will learn how to systematically diagnose performance issues, analyze performance data using MS Excel, conduct strategic planning, and build a Balanced Scorecard specific to your work context. The workshop will also provide an overview of the most current performance management reforms, draw out lessons from best practices, and critically reflect why reforms often disappoint. The workshop will offer ample opportunities for you to exercise new skills through case studies and group discussions. Learning Outcomes:
- Increase focus on strategy and results
- Improve organizational performance by measuring what matters
- Align the work people do on a day-to-day basis with strategy
- Focus on the drivers of future performance
- Improve communication of the organization’s Vision and Strategy
- Prioritize in tough economic times
