Drawing on CFA’s journey, Daniel will explore:

One of the tools that is highlighting organisational performance is its Balanced Scorecard (BSC) which is providing a an opportunity to modernise its corporate level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and also enabling leaders to link between strategy, critical success factors and actions while establishing accountability.
The BSC provides a predictive, forward-looking view of the overall business that goes beyond a focus on short-term bottom-line results, as well as ensures a broader understanding of organisational performance and engagement with staff on how they contribute to the strategic direction of DoT.
The current DoT corporate level KPIs that are reportable are linked to regulatory performance and require modernisation to be linked to the new and more refined vision and strategy. New KPIs (corporate / external facing) are being tested within the BSC so that an assurance of their alignment to reflect the organisations external expectations.
