What is performance management about really?
- Outputs?
- Outcomes?
- Impacts?
- Measurement?
In truth performance management is a communication process that helps individuals learn and grow in their ability to connect with, and contribute to, the organisation’s priorities. This connection between the individual, their values, beliefs, skills and aspirations and the purpose or mission of the business is the real driver for performance improvement.
Just to repeat – performance management is a communication process that helps individuals learn and grow in their ability to connect with, and contribute to, the organisation’s priorities.
Too often I see organisations spending time and money developing processes for providing data on performance without investing in the communication processes (121s, feedback, coaching, delegation, priority management etc.) that turn the data into effective performance management and improvement.

You are completely right, I know that it becomes a daunting task with growing companies, that why these EPM tools are so essential, because after a while it becomes more and more difficult to trace back the line of communication, and integrity of information that is passed through.
