Assessment Brief

Performance management systems have become a key feature of organisations striving to drive competitive advantage and achieve high performance. In attempting to provide an explanation for this, Aguinis (2005:2) defines performance management as ‘a continuous process of identifying, measuring and developing the performance of individuals and teams and aligning performance with the strategic goals of the organisation’.

For the purpose of this assignment you are required to provide a 4000 word report that critically evaluates why strategically intended performance management systems often fail to deliver the intended results to organisations’. From your findings propose recommendations that organisations might consider in order to improve their performance management processes.

You must support your argument with appropriate theory, research and best practice organisational performance management examples.
