Performance management guides

The Performance Management, Measurement and Information project (PMMI) today publishes our guides to performance management.

A Councillor's Guide to Performance Management was written with Councillor Malcolm Grimston, an IDeA Lead Peer Member and executive member for Wandsworth Borough Council. It provides a comprehensive summary of councillors' roles in performance management and how they can use PM to achieve council and community objectives.

A Manager's Guide to Performance Management is a bit more detailed approach to the major aspects of performance management.

Both guides are supported by the PMMI website - www.idea.gov.uk/performance - which contains links to full guidance, tools and more.

I'm really pleased to be finally finished with this! Producing the guidance and re-doing the website was a monumental effort be me and the other members of the PMMI team, but definitely, I think worth it. The final result is also a testament to the benefits of working in a collaborative way with practitioners on the ground. Without the many officers and councillors who helped us, we wouldn't have been able to achieve what we did.

Now that this one's done, it's on the next one - performance management in partnership!
