Benchmarking and best practice identification to provide relevant measurement criteria and assurance
"What gets measured, counts" - but how do we ensure that what gets measured delivers to competitive edge and forward looking, innovative and dynamic organisations as opposed to adding restrictive administration?
Article 13's Abacus uses participative processes that identify business strategy measures that help not just measure appropriately, but manage interlinked dimensions of performance. Article 13 recognises that people make up businesses, and that people form societies, supply chains and customers.
Abacus overlays traditional “tangible”, finance-based perspectives with a future-looking vision that integrates the “intangible” elements of an organisation, for example, the people perspective. This is an audit with a difference and makes for dynamic strategy making.
Abacus also deals with the work we do for organisations in the auditing and verification of business responsibility policies and processes; Article 13 has a core team of auditors and verifiers trained to AA1000 standards. We have excellent working relationships with the organisations responsible for reporting 'standards' in the UK, Europe and worldwide (FTSE4Good, ABI, GRI etc.). This enables us to advise our clients on the most appropriate standard or combination of standards that fit their business strategy and objectives.
"Article 13 are really addressing the implementation and practice of performance management in an innovative way"
