The Rise of Analytical Performance Management

Overview Performance management is the use of metrics and indicators, both financial and nonfinancial, to measure, monitor and improve organizational performance. Performance management is hardly a new phenomenon in business, although it has been propelled in recent years by business intelligence systems that contain and display performance metrics that have been extracted from transactional information systems. Performance management (sometimes called "Enterprise performance management" or "Corporate performance management") is a thriving industry, with an academic discipline to support it (management accounting), a class of information systems designed to assemble and display it, and many followers of developments in the field. Analytical performance management is the systematic exploration of quantitative relationships among performance management factors.
