Quelques piliers me paraissent importants : 1. Fixer des objectifs acceptés par le personnel pour engager une dynamique « challenging » 2. Donner accès aux résultats atteints par une information : - compréhensible (pas de jargon financier pour les non spécialistes) - fréquente (compter les points une ou deux fois par an, voire mensuellement est insuffisant) - ciblée (les informations financières sont liées au champ d’actions de chacun) - accessible (le personnel ne dépend de personne pour s’informer) 3. Accorder une liberté d’agir. Personne ne d’identifie à des résultats dus à l’action d’autrui. 4. Récompenser l’effort et le succès. Ces bases de fonctionnement entretiennent une dynamique de performance.

One thing I have found to be helpful in driving financial accountability is to ensure every member of the team understands how their work and commitment impacts the bottom line. Sometimes this can be obvious such as a sales role that drives revenue or a production role that creates or builds the products to sell. For team members in more Administrative roles such as strategy, budgeting, finance, procurement and legal, the connection to the bottom line can be less obvious. Leaders should ask each team member how they understand their work impacts the bottom line and help them perfect their understanding as needed.

Establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is integral to fostering financial responsibility within an organization. It is like putting scoreboards for employees to track how their work affects the company's financial goals. It gives clear targets, making people responsible for hitting them. KPIs also help in making quick adjustments and smart decisions based on real-time data. By regularly sharing results, everyone sees how their efforts impact the company's financial health. Linking rewards to hitting KPIs keeps people motivated to meet money targets, building a culture where everyone knows how their role contributes to the company's success.
