How Our Approach Works+
Challenger Stone Management Consultants have a unique approach to performance management. We believe in maximizing performance through a model that is agile and consistent.
- We define an explicit framework that describes how market, structural and managerially controllable factors affect performance in the business.
- Test the defined explicit framework through systematic, accurately collected supporting data.
- Statistical analysis, internal and external benchmarking, modeling and simulation — to verify and refine every element of the framework to show how operational factors connect to financial results.
- Continuous adaptation of the framework — as business conditions evolve and better data and testing mechanisms become available.
- The Balanced Scorecard, a performance and accounting system that extends management reporting beyond a narrow, financial focus while avoiding the common pitfalls of an ad hoc measures approach.
Performance Management is at the heart of organization’s behavior+
The framework is upgraded as the business evolves — and its information communicated to all levels of management. Among its attributes is the capturing of knowledge across a company´s business units, which enables managers to emulate the successes of the best performers.
