| Matrix Management Is Failing With Current Employee Performance Evaluation |
|
| A recent global research study from management
consulting firm Business Improvement Architects shows that most current
employee performance systems don't properly measure performance in
a matrix management environment. Work on project teams goes unmeasured
and this is contributing to project failure. |
|
| Toronto, Ontario, April 10, 2006 - Most people now work in a matrix
management environment where they are required to work on projects
as part of their job yet they feel this work is ignored when it comes
to their performance review. And they are right. Performance management
in most organizations fails to consider performance on projects and
this is contributing to project failure. |
|
| According to a global research study by management consulting firm, "From Crisis To Control: A New Era in Strategic Project Management", 68% of respondent organizations had no process in place for employee performance evaluation of team members. Only 36% had any type of reward or recognition for the project manager and 44% said they provide reward and recognition for project team members. |
|
| "The research findings show that current employee performance evaluation systems are out of touch with how work is being done today," says Michael Stanleigh, President of Business Improvement Architects. "Employees see projects are an intrusion on day-to-day work because their performance on projects goes unmeasured. Furthermore, organizations lack competency evaluation tools that can place the best people with the right knowledge, skills and experience on a project." |
|
| The research study provides a number of other recommendations
for organizations to improve project success including the need to
build project management into the organizational culture, strategic
alignment of projects with corporate strategy and use of project management
best practices. |
|
| On the basis of the findings of this study Business Improvement Architects has developed a proprietary "Total Performance Management™" system and "Project Culture Initiative™" process to manage the performance of employees in an organizational culture that is supportive of projects. |
