The core product
of our catalogue, the Performance Organiser has taken some ten
years to develop to its current state. The original design
motive was to build something that could provide the means to
let anyone, not necessarily professional management
consultants, construct a business based information
architecture around ideas the ideas and principles associated
with Performance Management in general and the balanced
scorecard in particular. What started out as a very limited
task developed into an ongoing project that simply never
stops. The Performance Organiser Features:
- The Performance Organiser,
is designed around accepted best practice principles as
espoused by the likes of Walter Shewart, W Edwards Demming,
Homer Sarsohn et al. The people mentioned in the previous
sentence are all recognized as the founding fathers of some
of the most influential management techniques in use today
across the world, ideas initiated by these men are now
applied in techniques like SIGMA 6, Baldrige, the EFQM, ISO
9000 and others.
- Tested Academically. We
have not just taken the ideas we have touched on above and
done things off our own bat. We have tested the principles
of the software design by submitting the product to academic
and industry review. We have had papers and articles
published in a number of journals by a number of
Universities. Most notably, the George Washington University
in the US published our core ideas in a book on Project
Management History. Next year (2006), we have been invited
to present at the UK Institution of Analysts and Programmers
Annual Symposium in Trinity House in London.
- Reviewed by the Software
Retail Industry. We have further submitted the the
Performance Organiser to independent software industry
review. The Performance Organiser regularly comes out at 5*
or excellent ratings on various shareware industry review
sites.
- A Modular Product Set The
Performance Organiser is a modular toolkit consisting of the
product itself, and a series of add ons giving managers the
means to purchase the modeling elements they want as their
organization grows. The toolkits capabilities have been
significantly enhanced with the development of a web site
chassis with which models can be published to the internet
or organization intranets with a minimum of technical
knowledge. The Performance Organiser uses drawing pads in
conjunction with standard data capture methods to give users
a comprehensive toolkit supporting linked organization and
process mapping; cause and effect diagramming and more.
