Addressing Common Challenges in Process Performance

In July 2021, APQC hosted two roundtable conversations with process and performance management professionals to discuss common challenges and leading practices related to performance management. APQC’s Holly Lyke-Ho-Gland (principal research lead, process and performance management) and Jonathan Kraft (project manager) facilitated the roundtable discussions and shared insights related to common performance management challenges, including:
- the quality and quantity of data;
- how to pick the best measures for tracking performance;
- aligning measures to organizational value;
- keeping measures up to date;
- achieving the right balance of in-process measures and end-of-process measures (or leading and lagging indicators); and
- leveraging control points to effectively manage process performance.
This article provides a summary of the roundtable conversations.
