Preface
Executing strategy and improving an organisations performance are hot topics in management today. In fact, we are getting
overwhelmed with new management frameworks and tools, provided by business school professors, consultants, and other
professionals. Unfortunately, many of those tools tackle the performance challenge in a too fragmented way. What is even
more important: many of these frameworks only work if a number of implicit assumptions are met. Strategies are clear and
provide a clear answer to the challenges within the competitive environment.All employees have the freedom to share ideas
about the future of the organisation. Performance measures guide organisations from one success to the other. But
managers should first ask: Do we really have a clear and relevant strategy? Does our organisation structure really allow
bottom-up initiatives? And do we really know what strategic performance measures are?
This book does provide you with a management framework, yes indeed, but it is different in many perspectives.The first
and maybe most important difference with traditional performance management books is that this book is written by a
practitioner, by a manager who has been struggling with many performance management frameworks in practice. I have
been in touch with the company and the author several times, and the way this organisation operates and is run is really
impressive. As are the results the company has achieved over the last years.
This book is different because it integrates many frameworks into a logical and consistent whole. This is exceptional in the
management world. Many authors proclaim to have written and developed an integrated framework. The framework
presented here is one of the few exceptions. I personally find it the most integrated and exhaustive framework Ive seen so
far.
The book does not only provide you with a general framework, but it offers you a lot of material that is helpful to start the
RADAR approach yourself. In fact, this book is more some kind of a guide that helps you to make the best of your journey
to a foreign country, rather than a traditional management book. In this particular case, the author brings a summary of
the must-do in RADAR-land, complemented with a personal impression about the challenges associated with the various
steps in the journey. The concreteness of the book is striking, and certainly adds to its value. The honesty of the author is
the other striking feature. We hear as much about what works, as what doesnt work. And that is again what makes this
book so different and special.
