Fear that they will lose influenceFear that the they will be judged against
unfair standardsConfused by what system to useConfused as to where value lies

Policy Confirmation and Data Gathering
Collaborative understanding of the human resource policy (job sharing, benefits expense, training costs)
Ensuring good job descriptionsClear understanding of what the library currently
does for whom and with whomClear understanding of current staff capabilityFacility planning ( cost per square foot full
loaded)Square Footage devoted to collection, people and
programs

programs?Who attends these programs?
What is the Unit Cost?

Balanced ScorecardRobert Kaplan and David Norton
Qualitative and quantitativeConcentrates on customer satisfactionProvides a complement to financial measurement
Management system and measurement system

Traditional Fixed Budgeting
Increase or reduce by some set percentage Don’t ask, don’t tell Do the same with less or more with less Reactive and expensive if business conditions are guessed at
incorrectly Political and not financial Characterized by competition Difficulty in linking benefits of costs to quality of investment Drops costs in equal amounts over the 12 month period
(seasonality vs. equal distribution) Scrutinizes the monthly variance

Zero Based Budgeting
Defines, lists and ranks activitiesDetermines the point at which programs can
not be supportedCreates all inclusive “decision packets” which
contain 1) measurable performance objectives 2) appropriate actions to achieve performance objectives 3) resource allocations and 4) methods for carrying out the activities

Management by Objective
Sets tangible, verifiable and measurable goalsLists and links the activities necessary to meeting
those goals – high tacticsAnalyzes the activities in a step by step progressionCosts the activitiesLinks the activities to the calendarEncourages participatory managementProvides motivational benefits

Benefits to MBO
Motivates the teamStrengthens relationshipsProvides a framework for coachingEliminates weak appraisalsProvides knowledge of what is expectedIncreases satisfaction

Activity Based Budgeting
Shifts from detailed plans to trend analysis and rolling forecasts

Ramifications of Activity Based
Goals are met in “real time”Act while resources are availableConsistent execution planEffective use of investment – clear linking of
