PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Data Driven Decision Making

Our management information (MI) process ensures quality-assured and standardised data across all training providers, providing a reliable foundation for accurate, fair, and objective performance monitoring. By applying a consistent scorecard approach, we enhance transparency and accountability, allowing for clear comparisons and better management of provider performance. This robust system empowers you to make informed decisions based on accurate, standardised metrics, ensuring that performance improvements are driven by data rather than subjective judgment. The MI process also enables quick identification of trends, strengths, and areas for improvement, allowing you to optimise your training provider network and drive meaningful results for learners and your organisation.

REAL IMPACT

What our clients say

quote_icon

Throughout the mobilisation phase we worked closely together to ensure Babington were aligned to what we were trying to achieve, and created common goals. Significant time was spent understanding our requirements which was then project managed in a structured fashion through to go live date. We are already seeing the benefits, across the whole supplier landscape – with greater data integrity which is consist and standardised across the board. Meaning we collectively drive greater business value from our supplier network through effective and strong supplier management. Strong communications and engagement with stakeholders has been key to success and has resulted in improved customer experience and greater insight and understanding of supplier performance. In partnership with Babington we can then continue to consolidate our supplier base ultimately driving value from our suppliers and continually improving in a joined up way.
