Answer to question 2
a.The key result area and critical success factors can be explained in various forms to the team members.. However, these results need to be checked using key performance indicators on the SMART principles such as the goals are specific, measurable, acceptable, result and time bound and should be evident in the performance of the team. The goal is set to increase the organisation’s performance by increasing the quality of customer service by 20% and developing a new management system that is based on methods and guidelines by the organisation.
The goal outlined is specific and clearly states to increase the quality of customer service by 20%. The goals are measurable as well because weekly and monthly targets are set for the team that should be achieved in a month using tangible evidence. This goal is acceptable because the organisation is not performing up to the mark. However, the goal is result and time bound because a monthly target is set by devising new strategies to achieve the objective and by guiding the team on the new methods taken (Holmes 2013).
Performace is one of the most impornat factor in the entire organizational behavior. There are certain objectives in different organizational plans and procedure. There are different expectations of different team members in the organizations. Performace acts as a key indicators of different organizational plans and procedure.

The goal needs to be specific for the organization which ensures the exact requirement of the organization. Measurable is the second factor in the principle. The goals need to demosatrated and evaluated based on the requirements of the organizational activities (Mariotti and Glackin 2012). There are different kinds of challenges which are faced by the organization in order to achieve the common managerail goals. The goals must be set in the organization which can be achievable based on the resources of the company. The forth factor in the principle concludes about the relevancy of the goals which is set in the organization. The fifth factor is the time bound factor (Byrd and Megginson 2013). Time is very much crucial for every organization. The goals need to be set and developed in such a manner which will ensure the achievement in the specific time.
b. Documentation is one of the most important parts in order to maintain the performance level in the organization. It maintains a valid record in the measurement of the performance and entire organizational process and activities (Wilkinson, Wood and Demirbag 2014). The record will help the management to analyze and compare the performance of the organization with the previous performance. If any deviation takes place, the management will be able to take actions, which will help the organization to develop proper plans, and proceedings, which will allow rectifying the flaws and errors. The percentage of risk is very much low in this analyzing part of the activities in terms of performance. It allows the organization to achieve the common organizational goals and activities and allows increasing the entire efficiency level in the organization (Gately 2013).
Docoumentaion is one of the most crucial part towards the measurement of the organizational performce. Performace measurement is the process of collecting, analyzing and reporting information of different performace of groups and individuals in the organization. Docoumentaion is a crucial part in the entire organizational plans and procedure in order to measure and analyze the perfomce of the organizarion (Pride, Hughes and Kapoor 2012). Perfoemce of the organization can be measured by analyzing different factors such as targets, dealines and quality of the work (Waxman 2013). The process of docoumentaion will analyze different performce of different individuals in the organization and will help in the process of measuring the actual performce with the planned performace of the organization.
