Used along-side effective strategic planning, the right KPIs and business metrics act as essential navigation tools that help organisations understand how well they are doing in delivering on their strategic goals. If managers don’t want to fly blind, then they require relevant and meaningful business measures to inform their decision-making.
Modern business metrics are vastly different from the static, backwards-looking KPIs of yesteryear. On this topic page you can find many relevant articles and case studies that will give you a state-of-the-art overview of subjects such as KPIs, Key Performance Questions, BI Dashboards, and Performance Reporting.
Bernard Marr has worked with many of the world’s leading businesses and government organisations helping them develop modern business metrics. Get in touch if you would like to explore consulting engagements or in-house training programmes on any of these topics.
