Track KPIs

What are KPIs?

KPIs, short for key performance indicators, are quantifiable measures used to determine whether a business is achieving one or more strategic objectives or meeting the expected outcomes from project work. There are at least two applications for KPIs in operational excellence:

  • Define KPIs and targets to measure the effectiveness of improvement teams
  • Help other business functions to define appropriate and aligned KPIs and targets

Why Track KPIs in the Platform?

 

  • Align the critical measures of organizational performance to the overall business strategy
  • Define KPIs for any strategic objective or improvement project anywhere in the business
  • Track monthly KPIs against a predefined target in the well-known “bowling chart” format
  • Seamlessly implement counter measures to quickly address misses with ownership and due dates and linked to proactive email notifications

Core benefits of tracking KPIs in the Platform.

  • Create a “closed loop” system whereby sub-par performance translates to tactical action plans with clear ownership and due dates
  • Pin-point exactly where in the growth initiatives go "off track"
  • Identify trends over time to accommodate for the ebbs and flow of the business
  • Monitor efficiency and improvements over multiple fiscal years
  • Reinforce a culture of transparency and accountability
