“Measuring the organizations performance management system maturity is critical throughout the lifecycle of implementing such a project, especially in its inception, to find the best line of improvement where the organization has to work on as it gives guidelines of where it has to direct its focus and build its capability. GPA Unit, The KPI Institute audit division, as a very specialized organization, has done an excellent job of developing the framework in a very detailed form, which reflected the best practices in the field. I am extremely content to collaborate with them and I look forward to adopt their maturity assessment model in all the organizations that I am affiliated with.”
“Assessing our performance management capability by using the performance maturity model framework provided to us, by the GPA Unit, with their detailed insights regarding our current maturity level has helped our organization to understand its gaps and build a roadmap for continuous improvement. It will most certainly allow us to review and discuss our progress, during the next few months, which we are sure will elevate our performance management system’s maturity from the current level to the next one.”
