How do you measure & quantify your own performance and development?!

More often than not performance and tangible benefits are measured through the eyes of the organisation - increased profit, turnover, improved efficiency and customer service to name but a few.

Rather than this organisation focused view I'm intruiged to understand how members not only measure but quanitfy their own performance and how they track this as part of their role.

I've recently started in a new role (5 months ago) as a project manager for an engineering company in the oil & gas industry. The remit of my project is to integrate the information systems within the business to improve transparency, knowledge transfer & business intelligence. My activities have led me to document standardised processes across the entire organisation, engage in strategic discussions regarding the role of information & systems for the growth of the business, technology scout with software providers to understand the feasibility of our business needs and build up a strong network of business contacts whom i visit and stay in contact with regularly.

I can understand how these activities have benefited the business and in turn my project but i'm struggling to quantify how exactly such activities have benefited me. I find myself asking the question, what skills have you developed over the past 5 months that you didn't have when you started and how would you communicate these to a new employer - ultimately begging the question where's the progression?

I tend to keep a performance log of my achievements over a fixed time period i.e. 1 month; a brain dump if you like of my highlights but upon reflection these are all organisation focused.

I'd really appreciate some insight into how members track their own personal growth alongside the organisation focused mindset.

Thank-you in advance
