Technology

Page 4 of 4 As performance management’s strategic import increases, theories and principles will gradually evolve to highlight proven techniques and best practices that will be adopted with greater frequency. Technology also will mature to account for more constructs of the performance process, representing those as system features that anticipate required configuration options. Organizations with no performance management processes are likely to adopt “plain vanilla” versions of processes resident in technologies in much the same way that some late adopters of ERP technology are implementing “out-of-the-box” processes in systems like SAP. Vendors of performance management software say they are experiencing a steep rise in license sales in the last few quarters. This would indicate that more organizations want to accelerate their ability to extract value from performance management. If the technology adoption rates continues to accelerate, vendors will work quickly to add new functionality and to improve the level of configuration they offer to account for slight differences in each company’s implementation of performance management. Organization processes also will accelerate through the maturity curve. The migration of performance management technology from “immature” to “mature” will speed up through these two parallel growth curves. No one has commented on this article.
