\"Performance<\/p>\n

Online Course on the reality of Performance Measurement<\/h2>\n

Performance measurement has long been recognised as an important skill for accountants and financial managers. But very rarely is there any acknowledgement of the potential pitfalls. Too narrow a focus can \"Onlinelead to bad decision making and the wrong measures a can distort behaviour in
\nways that were not intended.<\/p>\n

In this provocative course, David Allen, sets out to remedy this.
\nHe provides examples, drawn from his extensive practical experience, which
\nhighlight the drawbacks of commonly accepted performance management
\ntechniques and practice. He shines a light on the potential pitfalls and explores
\nways of avoiding them, by introducing advanced and superior approaches to
\nperformance management.<\/p>\n
