Organizations implement an indicators system to manage several types of resources and reduce dysfunctions through better decision-making. However, many have lost sight of how to manage indicators and information systems in a way that strengthens the capacity to react at strategic and operational levels. From the planning perspective, managers agree what needs to be done in the short, medium and long term and these are expressed in a plan encompassing the organization´s aspirations over various time horizons. A measurement plan is often missing, however, especially in the form of a document that specifies each indicator and governs each user´s behavior when using performance indicators, as well as the metrics that allow us to learns whether the measurement project is having the desired impact on the organizational environment over time. “Managing Your Indicators System: A Key for Managers and Planners” intends to fill a void in how to manage your organization´s indicators system, thus having a positive effect on the performance of managers and planners.

The correct implementation of a strategy is one aspect that today's organizations demand in order to maintain positive impacts in all key areas and phases of the management cycle. Even if the plan contains a number of good intentions, but some of them are not made known to demonstrate compliance, we will have less evidence for what we sought to change. Traditionally, planning is regarded as being responsible for the budget, tax, accounting, and financial issues. With regards to results, however, poor quality external environment and user satisfaction remain a gap that organizations are not accustomed to closing. In the public sector, the deficiencies are greater because of problems in the justification for allocating budgets, which are then forgotten in reports and accountability to society. In other words, they have spent the money, but they have no idea whether society's problems have been reduced or eliminated. In this book, I present thirteen steps that will enable us to see the whole picture of the integrated steps in the managerial cycle. It is an all-in-one approach that gives managers a wider perspective than they have traditionally had, starting with planning and moving onto accountability through an automated system of measurement.

This timely guide explains how businesses can effectively integrate and coordinate career and succession planning programs to meet the personnel demands of the future. Drawing on their experience and expertise with workforce development, the authors of this book based its content on a single but important premise. With global economic instability, a slowdown in workforce growth, extraordinary competition for the best talent, and the rapid advance of technology, there is an immediate need to integrate career and succession planning programs. Explaining how to do just that, this practical, user-friendly guide is the first to link those critical business tools, showing readers how to prepare for tomorrow—and the many years after. The book presents a systematic approach through which businesses can integrate and coordinate career planning and succession planning programs. Part One makes the business case for moving beyond segregated career and succession planning and shows why they must be integrated. Part Two offers foundations for integration, while Part Three outlines the strategies that can make integration a reality. Part Four addresses the future of career development and succession planning. Other topics include the future of organizational infrastructure and the implications of a diverse workforce. Employee engagement and leadership development are also explored.
