The Benefits of Performance Management

Why should an organization worry about performance management? What is the point of a continuous improvement management system? What difference will managing for results make?

These questions need to be addressed in order for the transition to a performance management system to be successful. It is important that literacy agencies understand the many benefits that CIPMS can bring and how this system will help programs to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively, ultimately providing better programming for Ontario's adult learners in literacy programs. An effective performance management system can allow us to take control of the results our agencies achieve by proactively planning and working towards meeting goals and objectives that we determine and that are realistic and relevant for our agencies.

Effectively Showcase Results

A primary benefit of CIPMS is that it allows literacy agencies to showcase results in a quantifiable manner. In today's competitive market for government funding, corporate dollars and private donations, it is vital for us to be able to clearly and effectively prove that the services our organizations provide actually make a difference and have a positive impact on the lives of adult learners. Being able to clearly showcase results will increase the odds that adult literacy programs will continue to receive the support they need from both government and key stakeholders.

As literacy practitioners, we need to be able to demonstrate that literacy agencies provide quality services with consistently measurable results. We want to be able to share successes and show the positive impacts and benefits that our programs provide to the thousands of clients that come through Ontario's literacy agencies each year. Implementing CIPMS will enable our literacy agencies to demonstrate that the money invested in adult literacy programs is indeed making a difference.
