Management of a business |
Business performance management (BPM) (also known as corporate performance management (CPM)[2] enterprise performance management (EPM),[3][4] organizational performance management, or performance management) is a management approach which encompasses a set of processes and analytical tools to ensure that an organization's activities and output are aligned with its goals. BPM is associated with business process management,[5] a larger framework managing organizational processes.
It aims to measure and optimize the overall performance of an organization, specific departments, individual employees, or processes to manage particular tasks.[6] Performance standards are set by senior leadership and task owners which may include expectations for job duties, timely feedback and coaching, evaluating employee performance and behavior against desired outcomes, and implementing reward systems.[7] BPM can involve outlining the role of each individual in an organization in terms of functions and responsibilities.[8]
Business Performance Management (BPM) [...] is also known and identified by other names, such as corporate performance management and enterprise performance management.
Confusion also arises because industry experts can not agree what to call BPM, let alone how to define it, META Group and IDC use the term 'Business Performance Management', Gartner Group prefers 'Corporate Performance Management', and others favor 'Enterprise Performance Management'.
