The Following Are Guidelines for Using Performance Data to Evaluate

The following are guidelines for using performance data to evaluate performance EXCEPT:

A) Concentrate on developing ideas to improve performance in areas that are most important to the organization's goals and objectives.
B) Compare performance reports to those used by other divisions or similar operations outside the entity. Benchmark with best practices as appropriate.
C) Was the performance information collected in a cost-effective manner (i.e., do the benefits of a performance report justify its cost) ?
D) Try to determine reasons for deviations from expected values. Look for relationships between variables such as constituency satisfaction and the processing time. Consider other factors such as equipment changes or disruptions caused by weather during the period.
