1) Evaluate the 5th tier in Exhibit 19.1. Which of the ten categories are most critical for your organization? Select two and explain why these should receive the most attention when evaluating performance. How do these tie into the organization's strategic goals?
2) For each category you selected, recommend three metrics that you think would best measure performance in that category with respect to your organization. Explain each one in detail.
3) For each of these metrics (six total), what would be the performance objectives? How would you arrive at these figures? Describe the methodology you would use to calculate the targets and explain where the information would come from.
