Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for assessing operational and functional performance, the method comprising steps performed by a computer of: compiling, in memory, performance data for at least one entity, the performance data corresponding to a plurality of indicators, each indicator corresponding to at least one goal category within a plurality of goal categories for an organization, the plurality of goal categories including a corporate goals category, a unit goals category and a position goals category, wherein each goal category includes at least two indicators; scaling the compiled performance data corresponding to the plurality of indicators for the at least one entity based on at least one target for expected performance with respect to at least one goal category; weighting the scaled performance data corresponding to the plurality of indicators for the at least one entity, wherein weighting the scaled performance data includes: generating a performance scorecard for the at least one entity based on the total indicator scores, the total weighted goal scores, and the total card score; allowing a plurality of users direct access to the performance scorecard after it is generated; and calculating what a score for at least one indicator would be in a particular geographic area if the at least one entity were to achieve a particular level of performance in the particular geographic area, wherein at least one of the plurality of users has access to the score after it is calculated.
