GoLIVE｜How a Global Manufacturing “Hidden Champion” Accelerates Organizational Performance with Digital KPI Management

This is not only the “first step” of V Group’s talent digitalization journey, but also the foundation that best reflects management maturity, alignment capability, and business-driving performance culture.

More importantly — this is only the beginning.

Competency models, 360° feedback, Talent Index, talent review, and succession planning will go live between now and late 2025, ultimately forming V Group’s integrated talent management cycle from Performance → Capability → Potential → Successors.

• 1230+ performance goals created in the first week

• 100+ managers completed goal approvals

• 80% user login rate within 3 weeks

• Private cloud deployment completed rapidly

① Misaligned goals — strategy gets distorted as it cascades

Different plants and teams interpret goals differently, often aligning only at the very end of the cycle.

② Poor process visibility — execution progress is unclear

Managers struggle to monitor progress in real time, relying on offline updates or month-end reports.

③ Limited data accumulation — without data, there is no talent development

Performance data is scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and chat groups, making it difficult for leaders to make data-driven talent decisions.

Therefore, V Group chose to begin with the most critical step in aligning strategy, stabilizing the management system, and improving execution — KPI Performance Management.

Once direction is aligned, competency models, 360° feedback, Talent Index, and succession planning can truly operate.

✔ Sharper goal-setting — SMART structure guides goal creation

Ensures consistent logic, direction, and language across all levels.

✔ Transparent execution — visualized progress and real-time updates

For the first time, managers gain real-time visibility into execution rhythm.

✔ Smoother approvals — managers can approve goals via mobile

Performance management is no longer a “last-day rush”.

✔ Usable data — unified performance data foundation

Provides actionable data for competencies, potential assessment, and talent review.

The module’s stable launch lays the groundwork for the upcoming competency model, 360° feedback, and talent review initiatives.

The successful rollout of the KPI module is not just process digitalization — it marks the beginning of V Group’s journey toward a quantifiable, data-driven, and developmental talent system.

With KPI workflows in place, goals become clearer, management cadence becomes more consistent, and talent data begins to accumulate continuously.

This provides a solid, practical foundation for the next stage: competencies, 360° feedback, and talent review.

V Group is transitioning from “evaluating results” to “building capabilities”, from “experience-based management” to “data-driven talent development”, making people development a long-term engine for business growth.
