Guideline: Pre-Conditions for Setting Up a Performance Measurement System
This guideline describes several conditions that are critical and essential to ensuring the success of an organization's adoption of Performance Measurement practices and attainment of the associated performance measurement goals and objectives.
Main Description

The adoption of a Performance Measurement program and associated practices will generally represent organizational change challenges. It is critical that the adopting organization's executive management be willing to embrace change and be committed to providing the resources required to ensure the success of this endeavor.

At a minimum, executive management should have already given sufficient thought to the scope of what the Performance Measurement practices are intended to measure, to include a high-level perspective of the business problems that need to be addressed, the business and operational value objectives, and the stakeholders who will define and manage the associated business drivers.

Active participation and commitment of the identified stakeholders will be essential to the successful adoption of the Performance Measurement practices, as is the maturity and readiness of their constituent organizations to act upon the emerging operational objectives.
