Title: Implementing a PM System
Some key members of an organization and an external consultant worked together to thoroughly
communicate and actually implement a new performance management system. As one of the
first steps to implement performance management, the CEO announced that he wanted to
implement a forced distribution performance management system in which a set percentage of
employees would be classified into each of several categories (e.g., a rating of 1 to the top 20
percent of performers; a rating of 2 to the middle 70 percent of performers; and a rating of 3 to
the bottom 10 percent of performers). A global HR team was put in place to design and
implement the new system. The first task for the design team was to build a business case of the
new system by showing that if the new organizational strategy was carried down to team goals or

Chris Holden, Karen Jackson, and the distribution director, Carl Simmons, had each planned to present cost cutting proposals, and at first it looked as though the group was making good progress. Chris opened the meeting, proposing a plan for Farecom to cut throughput time by 3% and rawmaterials costs by 2%, thereby positioning the company to compete better on price. It was obvious from his detailed presentation that he had put a lot of thought into his comments, and it was evident that he was fighting a certain amount of nervousness as he made them. "I know I don't have the book smarts of most of you in this room," he had begun, "but here goes anyway." During his presentation, Chris stopped several times to answer questions from the team, and as he went on, his nervousness transformed into his usual enthusiasm. "That wasn't so bad!" he laughed to himself as he sat down at the end, flashing a grin at Jonathon. "Maybe we can turn this old…arrow_forward
- Suppose that your boss, Tony Hu, who is the operations manager of your company, sends you an email asking for your input on holding joint planning sessions with people from marketing and finance. A portion of that email follows: Gail in Marketing and Jim in Finance have been bugging me lately about holding joint meetings. They’re real gung-ho on this. But I’m a little concerned about agreeing to it. I don’t want them to get the impression that they can come in here and tell us what to do. They don’t really understand what it is we do or the kinds of problems we have. I’m sure they think we aren’t doing as well as we could, but that’s not any of their concern.
