Develop, Implement and Measure
Raising an Asset Performance Management Program by John Mitchell, Meridium
Having worked in the industry for more decades than
anyone would want to admit, it is now amusing to observe first-hand a
fast-moving, high-technology company that has an abundance of younger people
just entering their parenting years. For an individual like me who has been
through "the program" with both children and grandchildren, the enthusiasm and
innocence I see in these new parents is often quite humorous.
Drawing a parallel between developmental milestones and
reliability improvements, one engineer integrated his child’s sonogram into a
presentation –
but totally neglected the crucial KPIs: sleeping through the night and potty
training!
Parenting is clearly a top down activity
–
left to themselves the little darlings would eat sugary cereal, watch too much
TV, leave their junk around, go to bed late, and never, ever help with the
routine chores. Standards of behavior and household chores must be established
by an authority –
mom and dad!
An asset performance management (APM) program shares
many of the same characteristics with parenting.
