What are Your Unit’s Business Goals???
• Where does your unit fit in with the University Mission and Goals?• Chancellors Convocation Addresses
– Chancellor's Convocation Addresses 2005-11• What’s the unit mission• What do your customers expect?• Business goals have these characteristics
– They are specific– They are measureable– They have a timeframe– They are attainable– They make sense
Where Do Your Top 5 Goals Come From?
• What are your critical success factors?• Increased customer satisfaction?• Improved cycle time?• Improved graduation rates?• More research $$$$$?
• Look at your units process functions, activities and task documents• Can you identify your main process functions?• What do you think they are?• How is your unit evaluated?• How are you evaluated?• Chances are these are also your top goals and objectives
Create a Vision for Your Unit
• Begin with the end in mind• What are we trying to accomplish?• Are we doing the right things?• What are the top five goals of your unit?
– Short Term?– Long Term?
• Rank them in order of importance• What does management think are your top 5 goals?
– If you don’t know-ask• What is the desired result?
– What do you expect?• Who are your customers?• What do your customers expect?
– If you don’t know-find out– Financial Services Survey
The Details
• Execution-the action, deliver the strategy• Tactics/Process-doing• Measure-KPIs-how are we doing• Improvement-what are the gaps between the goals and the actual
results
How do Process Functions and KPIs Relate?
• Which process functions have the most effect on;• Students• Faculty• Staff• The financial outcome of the University
• Are they your core (most important)process functions?• Set performance measures for those process functions and monitor how
the improvement of those process functions affects the overall financial performance over time
Application:• Review your process functions and identify potential KPIs• Flowchart - Payroll.pdf
What Can We Learn from Moneyball?
• Who has read the book or watched the movie Moneyball?• What’s the premise? What are they trying to achieve?• What’s the goal of a baseball game?• What indicators did they use?• Was everybody using the same indicators?• Did it change the way people think?• How can we apply those concepts to your unit?
People, Process, Technology, Decisions
Align People, Processes and Technology to performance goals that drive the mission• People (don’t forget about the employees and customers)
• Align employee performance to organizational goals• Is educating your employees a critical success factor?
• Process functions• Improve processes to maximize efficiency and minimize costs• Manage cross functional processes between support groups
• Technology• Map IT performance to organizational goals• Integrate performance data with budget forecast and strategic goals
• Decisions• Develop performance measures that drive decision making
Why Do We Need KPIs?
• Sets the relationship to the University strategic plan, goals and objectives
• What gets measured gets done!!!!!• Drives improvement by fact not guesswork• Evaluates where we are and where we want to be• How are individual members of the team performing?• KPI is a metric but a metric is not always a KPI
Keys to the Right Indicators
• Aligned-integrated into the University strategic goals and objectives• Owned-assigned to a specific group of employees• Predictive-Forecast capabilities• Based on legitimate data• Actionable• Not too many- 4 to 5 at most (related to your process functions)
• Each unit can have their own KPIs if you desire• Easy to understand• Balanced and linked-Reinforce not undermine each other• Relevant• Targets can be applied to them• Drives decision making
KPI Categories
• Financial• Cost per unit
• Process• Cycle time-the whole process not just one of multiple units
• Employee Growth and Learning• Hours of training• Use of Technology
• Customer-Students, other University employees, other University units• Complaints, number and type• Student success (graduation rates)• Student Retention• Student Debt Load
Leading and Lagging Indicators
• Leading indicators evaluate actions influencing future results of the work• Customer satisfaction
• Lagging indicators measure results of past work• Measure against a pre-specified benchmark
Does Your Unit Collect the Data??????????
• Can the data be collected?• How easy (hard) is it to get?• Who has it?• Is it automated?• Is it understandable by your unit?• Does it tell the story?
Operational (Activity) Performance KPI Examples
• Effectiveness- FTE per unit of output• Efficiency-Cost per unit of output, cycle time• Customer satisfaction-survey• Accuracy-Error rates• Quality-Personnel Performance-all of the above by employee• Compliance-Audit findings (Internal and External)
Your Unit has KPIs Now What?
• KPIs should not be an end in themselves, it’s a management tool• Review your KPIs regularly• Do they still tell the story?• If not go back to the drawing board• Realign with the University mission, goals and strategy

working and, just as importantly, what’s not.
E-Commerce Transactions (including ACH)
• What does a successful E-Commerce operation look like? Describe it…..
• If you could have it anyway you wanted (create it from scratch)• Number of transactions• Dollar value of transactions• Per ($ and #) 1000 students (25277) and faculty/staff (2903)
(headcount)• Expected growth if nothing changes• Number of merchants• Targets• Speed of realizing revenue versus checks or cash• Adopt to change• UNCC org structure
