Do you know what impact your measurement system is having on the very things it's there to help improve (which is organisational performance, in case it's not obvious)? What we're talking about here is measuring the performance of your performance measurement process.

Yes, it probably feels a bit like your brain is bending back onto itself, but there are some very good reasons why measuring your measurement process is so worthy a cause. You can do things like:

* better convince people that performance measurement is worth doing

* improve your measurement process like you'd improve any other process

* evaluate different approaches to performance measurement to find the best

* make the accountability of your Planning & Performance team more objective

And it puts persuasive pictures in the minds of people of the future they're going to help make real.
