The dynamics of introducing performance metrics into an organization

Article Abstract:

A case study was conducted to evaluate the use of performance measurement to enhance customer service and relations by a state government agency. Particular focus was made on a large state procurement office that was having problems with shipment dates, damaged materials and equipment and the lack of responsiveness to customer concerns. The implementation of performance measurement transformed it into a more efficient, more responsive customer-oriented and less hierarchical organization.
