Performance management describes a process for delivering organisational improvement through the ongoing monitoring and review of performance across all aspects of activity.
The Partnership recognises that performance management will inform partners what is being achieved.
A robust performance management system is now seen as an essential element in the management of local authorities. In the same way, a partnership performance management system is equally important to support the effective operation of LSP's. The need to co-ordinate and communicate the activity of the Partnership is vital to the achievement of outcomes that deliver improvements in the community.
Some of the benefits for LSP's include:
· Strengthening the delivery of services to meet both national floor targets as well as local targets
· Reviewing achievements and keeping track of progress
· Identifying areas of weakness and deciding where to concentrate effort
· Helping to plan actions that will improve impact
· Building clarity and consensus in the Partnership
· Understanding how as a Partnership you can do things better. There is a need for LSP's to know, for instance, if they communicate effectively, represent their communities, engage with partners at an organisation level rather than simply with individuals or if they genuinely include those who need to be involved in the decision making process. Performance management can identify issues in relation to these areas and set in motion actions to address them
· Understanding how working in partnership is adding value above and beyond what could be achieved as individual organisations
Greater credibility for stakeholders and partners
