Request for Proposals for Performance Management Systems

We recently started using AchieveIt (http://www.achieveit.com/) to track progress on department and program metrics, action plans, and te strategic plan. 

Hi Bryn,

My agency used the balanced scorecard framework to start (8-years ago), but now has converted it to an excel document. We use it to track agency-wide strategic initiatives and program-specific metrics. We have a separate system to track individual employee performance, but the metrics are alligned with program and agency metrics. Everyone seems to be satisfied with the ease of use, however, we are in the process of updating our metrics.

You may also find these other community forum threads helpful:

• Excel-based performance management system examples
• Adapting an Existing Performance Management System

Along with this recently published QI project:

• Building the Framework of a Performance Management System

We are in the process of fully implementing VMSG by Knowledge Capital Alliance, a cloud based performance management sofware.  I found this product in a video by Maricopa Cty HD on PHQIX.  Great price point and a great, user friendly (for most folks) tool.  As a bonus, the developer has been super responsive to our suggested enhancements.  I like the way it allows you to visually manage performance metrics.   We did not do a formal RFQ for this purchase.

You can find info at kca-inc.net or look up the PHQIX video from Maricopa (you have to scroll down a number of videos to find it). 

Please feel free to contract me directly if you'd like to see what we've done with it so far.

Hi Bryn, can you please provide me with your email? I was hoping I could get some information on the RFPs you have collected, or if you could provide an update to the thread on any progress that you have made on this initiative. My agency is also looking to switch to another PM system and would benefit and appreciate from your input. Thanks!

Hey Bryn, another PM system we came across is called InsightVision and is very impressive! How is your RFP process going?

Following.  Interested in updates/what others are using.

We too are looking for a new system.  We have an access based system for inputting our logic models and reporting outputs that NO ONE at the agency likes plus we submit separate excel based dashboards.

I am familiar with a program called WePlanWell. I can't endorse it (b/c of my lack of experience using the program) but I do know that the program is capable of supporting a health department performance management system.

I can get you in touch with a couple of LHD directors who have experience with the program if you send me a message thru PHQIX by clicking on the "Community" tab then "Messages" at the top of your screen.
