Remember the days when everyone did their jobs and the best performance metric was that your business was making a profit? If someone was not working out, they got fired. Years ago, the best resume was never needed. You usually stayed at one company until you retired.

Now, we have a new thing called corporate performance management. CPM helps organizations with business performance. It helps businesses analyze their business performance and then help them make the appropriate changes and cuts.

Does it really work? Not sure. But it is probably a lot more costly than the old paper and pencil methods!
