Communicating Performance Criteria

• Obligations of both parties should be clearly set out in the

Service Level Agreement (SLA);

• Outcomes (that which must be achieved) must be clearly stated

and defined;

• All supplier performance must be project based, preferably a

project plan from the supplier must be demanded;

• The SLA must make provision for feedback intervals; and

• Payments to the provider must be subdivided into payments for

outcomes achieved. www.derekhendrikz.com

Working with non-performance in the SLA

• Insert a penalty cost for non-correct delivery.

• Develop coordination instruments and

monitoring processes.

• Develop and define quantitative analysis

instruments.
