People-Profit Chain Assessment to Gauge Success at Driving High-Market Performance

 The Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) has launched its People-Profit Chain Assessment for assessing organization performance based on over two dozen key performance indicators most strongly related to market performance. The empirical assessment links specific initiatives to performance outcomes to identify what is and is not working. The data-backed framework provided by People-Profit Chain can be used to:

• Assess organizational performance vis-à-vis 25 key performance indicators most highly correlated with market performance.

• Identify organizational strengths and areas needing improvement.

• Build alignment among leaderships regarding business objectives and priorities.

• Define human capital strategies and initiatives that drive high-market performance.

• Benchmark against other high-performance organizations.

The i4cp assessment also helps organizations gain critical insights such as:

• The degree of alignment between employees and overall strategy.

• The capabilities of top-, middle-, and front-line leaders.

• The effectiveness of approaches to talent management.

• The positive and negative effects of an organization’s culture on its level of performance.

• How well an organization understands and meets the needs of the customer.

The assessment is available conditionally free to new companies that join i4cp by December 15, 2013.
