Optimize Your Performance

INSTANT Performance Management

Effective performance management is comprised of five component processes: planning, monitoring, developing, rating, and rewarding. These processes work together and support each other to provide a natural, effective overall framework.

Customer Performance Management

Customer performance management is the process of creating and maintaining high-performance customer care operations. To succeed in this endeavor, you must communicate operational expectations clearly and implement procedures to measure, report, and act on your company’s performance against those expectations.

  • Customer performance management is a new category of software applications that includes strategy management, score-carding, planning, analysis, and optimization of customer business processes.

Customer Performance Metrics

There are a myriad of metrics for evaluating customer performance, but most of these fit into one of the following five categories:

1. Customer satisfaction (CSAT). This is the most traditional type of metric. Typically, it involves the capture of explicit answers to survey questions about customers’ satisfaction on a variety of measures. This can also include metrics such as product review ratings, statistics about the timeliness of delivery, or mystery shopping scores.

2. Customer loyalty/Retention/Churn. These metrics include retrospective measures such as average (customer) tenure. While based on past interactions, these indicators are generally considered to be relatively predictive of future customer behavior (and retention). Examples include purchase frequency, multiple channel usage, loyalty program participation, average order size, repeat orders, and return rates.

3. Advocacy/Reputation/Brand. These metrics reflect a customers’ likelihood of favorably recommending or endorsing a product, brand, or company. Examples include price sensitivity, sentiment scores on social media, trust ratings, and event participation.

4. Quality/Operations. This is the most underestimated set of metrics, given its importance to the overall customer experience. When a product or service does not meet expectations in this area, the customer experience is often poor, even if actions are taken to remediate the problem.

5. Employee engagement. This last set of metrics, which measures the level of perceived involvement by a company’s employees, is included in only 10% of customer experience (CX) initiatives. However, employee engagement is a major way for companies to deliver improvements in customer experience. For example 86% of organizations rank employee engagement as having an equal or greater impact compared to other CX factors.

Performance Management for Your Supply Chain

Within the context of Supply Chain Management, performance management refers to an activity focused on measuring and ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of your efforts to optimize resources and satisfy demand with as little waste and delay as possible.

Common Supply Chain KPIs

Within SCM, performance management depends on your ability to consistently identify, define, and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Examples of KPIs that are specifically relevant to SCM include the following:

  • Perfect order rates – the percentage of on-time, accurate deliveries
  • Payment cycle time – the time from paying suppliers to getting paid by customers
  • Fulfillment time – the time between orders received and orders fulfilled
  • Shipment fill rate – the order fill percentage
  • Inventory supply time – with the goal of near Just-in-Time (JIT) replenishment
  • Inventory turnover – the number of times a company has sold and replenished inventory

Operational Efficiency

Take Action, Boost Performance, and Mitigate Risk

Corporate performance management (CPM) refers to the way(s) a company monitors and manages financial results across the organization. The primary purpose of CPM is to compare actual results versus budgets and forecasts … and then adjust accordingly.

Financial performance management encompasses a range of capabilities, such as: defining Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); formulating strategic plans and forecasts; performance reporting; and optimizing operational efficiency and execution. Some of the primary areas where this process is utilized include:

  • Tracking product/marketing expenditures vs. budget
  • Assessing and managing Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
  • Monitoring and adjusting cash flow
  • Optimizing the impacts of foreign exchange (F/X)
  • Analyzing real-time gains/losses

The INSTANT platform performs analytics on key metrics in real-time, so proactive (and corrective) action can be taken – and automated – over time.

It's All About Data

CPM also helps companies become more agile and prepared to face unexpected developments and events. It also contributes to better decisions via automated features like scenario modelling, rolling forecasts, and what-if scenario analysis.

INSTANT® incorporates KPI dashboards, real-time data, and dynamic plans that adjust (in real-time) based on actual performance.

  • With INSTANT, your Finance team will gain a faster and clearer picture of what’s happening – enabling them to act (and react) more quickly.
  • With INSTANT, you’ll spend less time on manual tasks such as data collection and data entry, which means you can focus on value-added activities like analyzing profitability, reducing costs, partnering with executive decision-makers, and developing more effective strategies.

CPM can also help companies to interpret large amounts of data quickly.

  • Most global organizations are sitting on a treasure trove of information, but often times they don’t even realize it. If adequately analyzed and managed, this data can provide myriad insights about the current state of specific businesses as well as the most productive courses of action going forward.

INSTANT helps align your entire organization by compiling a single (centralized) data source. As a result, all decision-makers can collaborate on shared reports and perform a dynamic range of team (or independent) analyses – all based on a single data set that’s constantly updated.
