Operational Performance Management
The practice of managing the effectiveness and value of operations by aligning people, processes, information and technology to a common set of goals and objectives.

Inside Track:
Over the past decade, investments in the development and deployment of scorecard, dashboard and performance alert applications have yielded dividends by making it easier for executives, managers and employees to get useful information on performance results. But our research finds that most users believe some or much of their data is out of date. Such a failing undercuts the whole point of these technologies, which is to notify users quickly of performance issues, empower them and guide them to take immediate action. Ventana Research recommends that both managers and users regularly assess the timeliness of data used in scorecard and dashboard measures.
