Designing KRAs for the CTO
To design the KRAs of the CTO, one needs to sit with him and understand what his duties and responsibilities are. The working style of every company is different; therefore, what works in other companies may not work in your case. Secondly, this is a senior position, so for designing the KRAs, you need to involve the MD as well.
Moving forward, let me ask: Are you from HR? To whom does this position report? If this position reports to the MD, then it is the MD's responsibility to design the KRAs for this position, and this work cannot be delegated. While you may download KRAs from a web resource, a question arises about the capability of a person to filter web material. What if some important sections of work are left out from measurement? Who will be responsible for that?
Designing KRAs is a far more serious job. It requires a thorough understanding of the business as a whole. Apart from KRAs, how many HR professionals are capable of writing the Job Descriptions (JDs) for various positions?
It appears that you do not have a comprehensive Performance Management System in your company. You need to train employees of all cadres on designing KRAs scientifically. To learn more about PMS, click on the hyperlink provided in the past reply to a similar post.
If you wish to hire my consulting services, feel free to approach me. I will design such a PMS where you will be able to set a performance meter for all employees, whether CTOs or otherwise.
