Performance Management
Performance Management: From Data to Value
The world is becoming increasingly complex, fast-paced and volatile. As a result, business leaders and CFOs need to make rapid and accurate decisions that traditional steering cannot sufficiently support.
Our performance management approach enables agile informed decision-making by aligning key drivers such as data and technology with strategic business priorities. We help you turn data into insights that drive action and create value.
Analyses and reports transform data into steering-relevant insights
Insights are translated into targeted, strategic measures and effectively executed
Data-driven actions create measurable value and ensure sustainable business success
By leveraging advanced technologies, organizations can gain deeper insights into value drivers, enabling them to act proactively, identify risks early, and implement strategic measures effectively.
Performance management creates transparency, increases agility, and ensures that strategic decisions drive sustainable business success.
cbs Performance Management Framework
Effective performance management ensures that strategic goals are clearly defined, steering structures are efficiently embedded into operational business processes, and decisions are made based on data.
To achieve this, a steering approach is needed that is built on a solid foundation while being flexible enough to react to market changes. Our framework combines clear steering processes with key drivers that ensure sustainable implementation.
Data
Integrated and reliable data creates a consistent, high-quality information base that can be used across departments.Technology
Technology enables the automation and standardization of processes, increasing efficiency and ensuring scalability.Governance
Clear governance provides the necessary structures to define responsibilities, standardize decision-making processes and consistently align steering with the corporate strategy.
People
Talents are the key to success – they need to be empowered to adopt a data-driven mindset and actively drive change.Steering
The steering model, derived from the business model, forms the overarching framework for structured corporate steering. It defines the steering mechanisms and logics required to align financial and operational objectives, ensuring targeted steering.Planning
Planning processes are often too resource-intensive, inflexible, and not linked to operational performance indicators. Frequent manual adjustments and lengthy coordination efforts can lead to delayed planning results that lose relevance.
We help you establish integrated, efficient planning that connects strategic, financial, and operational aspects, enabling faster and more precise steering.
Analytics
Fragmented data sources, inconsistent KPIs, and manual reporting processes are key challenges that hinder effective steering. It is often unclear which KPIs are truly relevant for decision-making and how they should be structured.
We support you in designing efficient reporting processes and business analytics to provide targeted, steering-relevant information. By consistently aligning with the steering model, we ensure that the right report recipients receive the right information at the right time.
Collaboration
Decisions only achieve their full impact when they are consistently coordinated across all relevant business areas. In many organizations, silos and isolated priorities lead to uncoordinated steering measures.
We support you in establishing structured performance discussions and decision-making processes to ensure efficient, data-driven collaborative steering.
Business priorities
Business priorities define the strategic focus areas that drive the organization’s success. They ensure that steering processes are consistently aligned with strategic goals, creating a direct link between strategy and operational execution.
Key drivers
The key drivers of our performance management framework include data, technology, people, and governance. These provide the foundational capabilities and resources needed for effective execution, insight generation, and sustained performance improvement.
