What is the purpose of PMI adoption index?

The PMI adoption index is designed to answer the question: How effectively is my property/department using PMI to optimally manage resources to increase the likelihood of a higher GOP?

The index dashboard can be used as a learning and development tool for department heads to help improve the skills and adopt best practices around productivity and resource management.

A score of 8 out of 10 or higher indicates the property/department is following PMI best practice and can therefore reap the benefits from working with PMI.

How is the score calculated?

Image description: Department view in PMI adoption index.

It is an aggregated score based on the individual tasks that make up productivity management in PMI. Each task has a different impact (or weighting) on the total score depending on its importance. 

Weighting varies based on the department’s classification: 

• Cockpit only – the weight is calculated based on how many hours the department uses out of all hours used at the hotel. Examples of a labor cockpit are Front Office, Housekeeping, Public Area cleaning, Administration, Maintenance, Kitchen, and Stewarding. 
• Profit Center only – the weight is calculated based on what revenue share of total revenue this profit center has. Examples of a profit center are Other. 
• Combined cockpit and profit center – the weight is a mix of the two calculations above. Examples of a combined labor cockpit and profit center are Restaurant, Bar, Breakfast, and Meeting & Events. 

The score is calculated at department, property, group and chain level.  

• Department index is calculated by combining the score and weight of each relevant measurement for that department. 
• The property index is an accumulated score of all departments. Each department has a different weighting depending on the size of that specific department. Size is measured by revenue and hours worked in the last 7 weeks. A larger department will have a bigger impact on the total score. 
• The group score is an accumulated score of all properties within the group. Each property has a different weighting depending on the revenue and hours worked in the last 7 weeks.  
• The chain score is an accumulated score of all groups within the chain. Again, the groups weighting is determined by the revenue generated and hours worked.  

The score is recalculated daily, shortly after midnight CET, so if you make changes in PMI be sure to check back the following day to see the effect on your score. 

How to access the adoption index dashboard

Property level view

The property level view is the default view. This view is ideal for a GM or management for an overview of the property. It displays the performance of each department and highlights what areas are bringing the property score down.
