Comment on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) And Trust by PANG Kian Tiong

PANG Kian Tiong — Wed, 19 May 2010 01:14:23 +0000

… as opposed to our working for it … certainly strikes a (my) cord. Oftentimes, here in Singapore, rules, processes, systems, … are set up purportedly to serve better. But serve who? How better? They usually turn out to serve the auditors, or efficiency, or … – but never quite the customers or the users.
Of KPIs, I am most confused by what I perceive as KPIs that do not seem to be aligned with the organisation’s mission and even vision. But must KPIs be necessarily so aligned?! There is some truth in your hospital example. Here’s mine: Teachers’ KPIs are the number of passes but it is assumed that the pupils really understand/learn what they are taught!

Comment on UNBALANCED – Part Two Religion, Sex & Business by John Bittleston

Maybe but I suggest that there is already too much introspection in the world and that we should be devoting more time to other people than to ourselves. It’s the only way to happiness, after all.

“Today’s imbalance in religion has been created by faulty definition of standards, leading to false measures of adherence and behaviour.”
Would also like to relate it with insecurity that is too much visible among individuals. It is high time that we start to do some introspection and see where we are wrong.

Comment on New Capital, Please by denisepang

Thank you for sharing, John.

Indeed the time is not only ripe for alternative sources of finance, but perhaps even a new form of capital to fuel start-ups and regenerate the well of wealth.

In the same spirit, those intent on raising funds need to quantum leap their thinking about “how much” new capital is really needed to achieve the “what for” and how it can help generate new capital for others.

John – I couldn’t agree more with this.

I recently had the privilege of interviewing Ted Shelton, one of the gurus of this world. I have posted his insights, which mirror and complement yours, here: http://tinyurl.com/d9zk7z
