Tools for Decision-Making in Performance Improvement

Performance improvement is not a one-time project but an ongoing journey embedded in an organization’s culture, aimed at achieving continuous enhancement. Organizations strive to elevate their performance indicators not only to meet targets or align with benchmarks but also to achieve leadership positions in their field and exceed stakeholder expectations. Making informed decisions about actions needed to improve performance levels requires proficiency in using creative thinking skills (to generate a wide range of ideas) and analytical thinking skills (to identify the most effective and efficient solutions for achieving goals). This program aims to equip participants with a diverse set of tools for performance analysis, innovative development methods, and practical skills in applying these tools through hands-on applications and the use of optimization decision-making software.

Upon completing the program, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the importance of fostering a work environment that encourages continuous performance improvement.
  • Comprehend the four components of the performance development cycle.
  • Identify tools for analyzing the causes of performance gaps.
  • Explore tools for innovative thinking.
  • Learn various quantitative decision-making tools.
