Performance Management
Summary of the Publication
"Performance Management: Integrating Strategy Execution, Methodologies, Risk, and Analytics" by Gary Cokins offers a form of map for helping to assess the performance of a company, while maintaining a practical discussion of all the issues which confront an individual in the planning and measuring stage of performance improvement. Cokins is also able to issue a strong message about the necessity of installing predictive metrics in a manner that makes sense to both analytic and non-analytic executives. Cokins is able to very aptly summarize some of the more pressing issues regarding performance management, while offering up the most basic and most fundamental ideas regarding performance management issues that are of pressing concern to the individual. Cokins is able to use his book to offer up more than just a standard conceptual explanation or simply via open questions the sheer benefit of the value in enterprise and the connection between business intelligence and PM. Cokins is able to achieve this by putting analytics to work through the usage of practical terms, and by showcasing the intellectual pillars which underscore all types of performance management, ultimately demonstrating the impact on the true and real challenges of life which are faced by organizations which just become more and more complex.

Beyond all of these really important pillars, Cokins is able to illuminate some of the more important and fundamental aspects involved in making sure that a given organization is able to remain successful and effective. All team members need to be properly appraised of the particular strategy at work: this way they can all understand how the work they do is able to achieve specific and definable goals within that strategy so all are on the same page. Cokins also argues for keeping people accountable for their actions and achievements, and to allow for performance measures and other forms of evaluation to be kept in place. Much of what Cokins argues for so succinctly falls into the arena of good sound advice that's necessary for the success of any given company.
Criticism of the Author's Ideas
However, while the book that Cokins wrote is full of good ideas and demonstrates truly sound pieces of advice within the arena of performance management, it still has areas that need work, or which are repetitive or derivative. For example, Cokins bemoans the fact that there are so many diverse and contradictory…

I wonder whether the job of a manager is not so much to manage the change process as to deal with people's genuine fears. So remember: don't underestimate the emotional impact that change has on people, don't ignore people's fears, don't lie or tell half-truths and do communicate and listen ad infinitum - you can't do too much of it."
