Performance Management: Finding the Missing Pieces to Close the Intelligence Gap, Copyright © 2004 by John Wiley and Sons. Describing the full vision of performance management and how to reap the most benefits from it, Performance Management shows organisations how to use PM tools that have existed for decades or have become recently popular—such as balanced scorecards, Six Sigma and activity-based management—to collect data, transform and model the data into information, and Web-report it to users. Cokins exposes PM as not just an integrated set of improvement methodologies but also as a discipline intended to maintain a view of the larger picture and to understand how an organisation works as a whole. PM can be successfully applied to managing any organisation, including businesses, hospitals, universities, government agencies, military bodies and every other entity that has employees and partners with a purpose.
Performance Management: Integrating Strategy Execution, Methodologies, Risk and Analytics by Gary Cokins. Copyright © 2009 by John Wiley and Sons. Beginning with a tongue-in-cheek description of how not to pursue a performance management culture, this big-picture book clarifies what performance management really is, what it does, how it enables better decisions and how to make it work. Revealing the relevant aspects of performance management, it discusses why integration of multiple management methodologies and behavioural change management are crucial to overcome managers and employees’ natural resistance to change.
