The periodic management cycle refers to how you are informed about your progress toward achieving your strategic goals and other objectives outlined in the long-term plan, enabling you to make necessary adjustments. The management cycle encompasses the tasks within management, which include:
Using Deming's PDCA cycle, which stands for Plan Do Check Act, continuous process improvement is the foundation for implementing the periodic management cycle. This approach allows you to monitor whether you are on track to achieve your long-term plan while simultaneously implementing improvements in processes.
In the PDCA cycle, the executive team is responsible for the highest level of process control. Management bridges the gap between the highest level and the employee level. The core of the PDCA cycle is that, in principle, every employee and process participant can assess and improve their own work methods. After all, the actions of the employee are ultimately a derivative (sub-) process of the highest level.
The periodic management cycle enables organizations to regularly evaluate and assess performance at the individual, team, and organizational levels. This helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
By regularly setting, reviewing, and updating goals, the management cycle helps organizations stay focused on their long-term objectives and prioritize strategic initiatives. It also provides a structured framework for planning activities and allocating resources, allowing organizations to effectively manage their budgets and ensure alignment with their strategic goals.
Regularly reflecting on performance and results allows organizations to learn from successes and failures and make improvements in processes, policies, and practices. Additionally, the management cycle serves as a mechanism for accountability to stakeholders, such as shareholders, employees, and customers, through clear reporting on performance and decision-making.
Therefore, the periodic management cycle significantly contributes to promoting efficiency, effectiveness, and agility within organizations, enabling them to better respond to changing circumstances and competitive pressures.
