50. Benchmarks & Performance Measurement Revolutions begin long before they are officially declared. For several years, senior executives in a broad range of industries have been rethinking how to measure the performance of their businesses. At the heart of this revolution lies a radical decision: to shift from treating financial figures as the foundation for performance measurement to treating them as one among a broader set of measures. Professor Robert Eccles, Harvard Business School

This model reveals that all work can be viewed in four sequential stages: 1. Inputs (including those from both employees & suppliers); 2. Processes (including internal operations & support services); 3. Outputs (your organization’s products, services, and documentation); and 4. Customer Satisfaction. In the following graphic ( the input-output process model ) we begin with inputs that can be tangible (such as supplies, raw materials, and component products) or intangible (such as information) which are delivered to the work process , which transforms them into some final output which might be a product or service. The goal of the output is to create satisfied and loyal customers .
