  		     PM in a small organisation
  	  		 "Most of the theory on PM is based on large organizations. Does anyone have experience of implementing a PM system in a company with less than 50 employees? 
I'm conducting research for an undergraduate dissertation on this subject. Any other information on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks"

  		     CPM best practices, examples
  	  		 "I just finished reading "Five Key Principles of Corporate Performance Management" by Bob Paladino.

Paladino collected a bunch of CPM best practices and practical examples. From a variety of sources which include the U.S. President's Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award recipients, the Kaplan and Norton Global Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame inductees, recipients of the Deming Quality Award, Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For," Best Practice Partner Award recipients selected by APQC (previously known as the American Productivity Center and the American Productivity & Quality Center), and Forbes magazine's "Best Managed Companies.

	● (India)	Performance Management	"Success of performance management depends on integrity of team structure and performance within organization and within each section to achieve the goals. Also Division of work , Authority, Discipline, unity of command and Subordination of individual interest ( Principles of management - Henri Fayol) are very important management principles to align the team's spirit along the path to achieve the goals of organization."
	● (India)	Success of PM	"Sir, it is true. But at the same time the individuals should be coincide with the team's spirit i.e. esprit-de-corps. Then it will be consider as PM success."
	● (USA)	Managing Performance in Smaller Enterprises	"Generally, smaller organizations (which make up the vast majority of enterprises world-wide) are not in a postion to formally introduce EPM methodologies to creaet behavioral change as is suggested by so many of the models and comments I see written here and elsewhere. Their management style of too few people with too little time and too much to do to keep the business running completely occupies their thoughts and actions. The only effective way to transform this (the largest) sector of the world's industrial base is to embed EPM systems into their work environments/workstations that automatically map where they are on the performance contiuum allowing them to adjust and align their performance in real-time and thusly, transform their behavior 'on-the-fly'. It can be done. It is being done."
	● (Angola)	Managing Performance in Smaller Enterprises	"I agree with Mr. Collins that the majority of EPM methodologies are not / may not be practical for small enterprises. However, the need to manage performance remains. Mr. Collins, you have suggested that alignment of performance in real time to help transform behaviour 'on the fly' in small enterprises is being done. Could you kindly provide some more insight or examples on how this is being done?"
