PMI adoption index is dropping – Quick troubleshooting guide

Symptom: PMI Adoption Index slips below the target (8.0) or the Index trend graph shows a downward slide. 

1. Pin-point the heaviest drag

  • Open Organization overview.
  • The thicker the green / orange bar, the more weight that department (or routine) carries in the total score.
  • Start with the bar named in Department to focus on – lifting that one moves the needle fastest.

Tip: Skip hygiene tiles for now. “Hygiene factors” show operational health, but in the Adoption Index their weight is 0 %. Fix them after the high-weight bars are green.

 

2. Open Score breakdown

Red and amber slices expose which routines are off-track.

Typical trouble spots and one-minute checks:

  • Scheduling discipline: Cockpit banner red or amber? Open the Cockpit and click Save.
  • Labour forecasting: Next month still Pending? Submit or lock the forecast.
  • Productivity accuracy: Live Forecast > 10 % away from Forecast? Review cost-driver or hours and resave.
  • Hygiene factors: (red triangle or amber “?”) Enter missing hours, clear warnings.

 

3. Run the daily hygiene for that department

Make sure, for yesterday:

  • Live Forecast saved (no red triangle).
  • Cockpit saved (banner turns green).
  • Schedules sent to Forecast.
  • Current month status = Live; next month = Ready / Locked.

Do this today – the Adoption tile recalculates overnight.

 

4. Coach for consistency

  • Ask the HOD to repeat the same four-point check every morning.
  • Show the payoff: higher RevPOLU, fewer last-minute edits, smoother staffing.

 

5. Re-check tomorrow

  • The headline score should tick up after one night.
  • If it doesn’t, tackle the next-largest red / amber slice and repeat.

 

Ignore technical tiles such as Integration Status unless data is actually missing – they don’t influence the Adoption Index score itself.
