Process owners are responsible for the use of resources and the provision of services in the processes. In order to assume this responsibility and to continuously monitor and increase the performance of the processes, it is necessary to have active performance measurement as part of professional performance management. Performance management is a holistic approach that combines all strategic financial processes, such as planning & forecasting and management reporting & controlling, in order to achieve the goal of sustainable improvements in performance. WTS Advisory will support you in the implementation of tools and processes for the collection of the latest key performance indicators and their evaluation so that you always have an eye on the performance of your company.
In order for your company to position itself and adapt optimally in an increasingly complex market and corporate environment, it is necessary to satisfy numerous conditions. Our many years of experience have shown that a holistic and integrative approach covering the following dimensions is necessary:
In order to make the corporate strategy operational, the focus must be on deriving comprehensible controlling models from the overarching corporate goals. For this purpose, clearly defined KPIs must be derived from the corporate goals and functional reporting must be established. This includes, among other things, the implementation of deviation analyses, benchmarking procedures and the development of targeted forecasting.
Employees and their corporate culture must be supported by a strong organizational structure in order to anchor corporate goals. This includes clearly defined roles and responsibilities, but also the development of soft skills and technical capabilities including new profiles, for example the use of data analysts in the finance department. The finance department is expected to have a clear understanding of its role as a business partner. Target-oriented remuneration systems can anchor the corporate strategy in the organization over the long term and permanently promote employee motivation.
The use of disruptive technologies such as SAP S/4 HANA, Big Data and Business Intelligence systems enables new approaches in controlling, reporting, planning and forecasting. If processes and application systems are designed efficiently and flexibly, sustainable leaps in efficiency are possible. Meaningful compromises between standard and client-specific developments have to be weighed and found.
