Question
Imagine you are a manager at a growing company. Recently, you've noticed that projects are frequently missing deadlines, budgets are often exceeded, and there seems to be a general lack of accountability within the team. The company doesn't have a formal control system in place, and while performance reviews are done annually, there is little follow-up or monitoring between these reviews.
You've been asked to implement a control system to address these issues. Based on your understanding of the Basic Elements of Control, you need to decide on:
- What type of control (preliminary, screening, post-action) would be most effective to start with and why?
- How would you measure performance? What specific metrics or tools would you use?
- How would you implement feedback and correction when performance doesn't meet the desired standards?
Consider the potential resistance you might face from your team when introducing new controls. What strategies would you use to gain their buy-in?
