A guide to self-assessment against best practices in performance management
The Gold Standard is based on the Performance Management Program (PMP) for executives and can be used to assess both management achievement and the overall health of an organization. The Gold Standard is organized according to the eight key phases in the PMP.
- Achieving Gold means an organization has a score of 81% or higher. In organizations that achieve the Gold Standard, executives have a clear idea of what is expected of them and their goals are aligned with set priorities.
- The Gold Standard checklist is an easy-to-use spreadsheet. It can also be used to compile information for reporting (PMP scorecards) and developing priorities for further improvement. The tool's point system allows organizations to compare their performance against the Gold Standard, or best practice.
