What is CPM?: the crucial role of CPM in achieving your organization goals

Organizations are constantly searching for effective ways to manage corporate performance to respond to the demands and speed of the market, boost their growth and achieve objectives. Managing corporate performance has become essential for companies to survive and grow in a dynamic market. But why should you focus on management support solutions such as Corporate Performance Management (CPM)?

Corporate Performance Management (CPM) offers a holistic approach to the optimizing performance challenge. By encompassing the definition of strategic goals, the monitoring of relevant KPIs, the analysis of trends and the alignment of operational activities with strategy, CPM seeks to optimize performance and guarantee the competitiveness of organizations.

However, traditional performance management methods, based only on historical data of limited relevance, lacking current context, unrepresentative in scale/sample, poorly predictive of future events, and subject to selection bias, are no longer sufficient.

There lies the importance of Data & Intelligence CPM. Integrating data and intelligence into CPM increases effectiveness by providing valuable insights (relevant, accurate, clear, timely and actionable) for making informed decisions.

Managing corporate performance has become essential for businesses

In this article, we'll explore the need for Data & Intelligence CPM, its benefits, how to choose the right KPIs and how your company can achieve better performance with Izertis software that makes it possible to give a more personalized response to the demands of each sector and business context.

What is Data & Intelligence CPM?

Data & Intelligence CPM utilizes advanced technologies such as Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to gather, process and analyze relevant information. While integrating internal and external data, Data & Intelligence CPM offers a holistic, real-time view of corporate performance.

How do you choose KPIs to evaluate your company's performance?

Choosing the right KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) is crucial to evaluating company performance effectively. KPIs should be SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound - and also simple, straightforward and easily understood by employees. The process involves: selecting metrics for each objective, responding to the established criteria, assigning responsibility to business leaders for monitoring them, reporting regularly to assess performance and making data-driven decisions. These KPIs are essential for measuring performance in Finance, Sales, Operations and Human Resources, but it's vital to adapt them to the specific needs of each organization and sector.
