I started to work on the next assignment last night.    It roughly needs to cover the following:

• Analyse the existing causal models between what is measured from a performance appraisal point of view and what the objectives of the organisation are.
• Propose a model through which systems thinking can enhance the alignment between measurement and objective outcome, thus narrowing the gap between the organisational intent and its behaviour.

My employer has a relatively complex appraisal method, so it will be interesting to work this one through.
