Absolute Performance Standard

  

How'd we do? That's it. How'd we perform? That's what this term is all about. It tries to measure productivity inside of an org. Like...yes, it grew sales of drones 100% this year. But the market expanded 500%. So on an absolute basis, we performed well, but relative to our market, we sucked. We could drone on and on about this one, but we won't.
