When people only interested with outcome, not process

I attended a meeting yesterday. One of the agendas is discussing new Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for annual assessment. Frankly speaking, it is terrible. The measurement is taken from somewhere that is not clearly indicated. Obviously, as commented by Ungku Aziz, that items are not suitable with the current situation of local universities which have just operated not more than 50 years!!!! (those top rank universities established hundreds years ago!!)

It is a long time ago for not murmuring here and there. But, while preparing student's attendance, by copying list of students on university's portal, remove those hyperlinks that embedded on each 60's students, it really an unfair expected outcome while the assistance for managing all data and information on students and lecturers still at the chaos stage. Emmm, do not expect for victorious success of knowledge if the management fail to provide victorious success in managing appropriate data and information to facilitate teaching, research and publication.

Besides, what are the initiatives to achieve these outcomes? Is this part of organisational strategic plan? If yes, is there appropriate procedures to achieve these target? Please balance between vertical and lateral in thinking before making decision. We are responsible to help you, and you are responsible to help us!!
