Performance, the key indication of an organization’s health is so often overlooked in many organizations.  CEO’s are too busy managing the stakeholders and board.  CFO’s are overwhelmed with compliance and reporting.  COO’s have their hands full with just keeping the lights on and getting product out the door.

Who then is keep their eye on performance?  Sadly enough, more often than not, no one.

The Chief Performance Officer lives and breaths on performance of the organization.  His or her sole mission is to measure, manage and improve performance.   It is more than a full time job, whose time has come.

The role of Chief Performance Officer is so critical, that President Obama created a new position.
