For years many organisations have used what they thought were KPIs but the measures have not had the impact management and the Board were seeking. KPIs themselves are mislabelled and misused. Organisations with over 20 KPIs lack focus, lack alignment and under achieve. In fact, there are normally less than 10 true KPIs in an organisation and these are measured and reported 24/7, daily, or at the outside weekly.
David Parmenter’s work on KPIs has received international recognition. His book “Key Performance Indicators – developing, implementing and using winning KPIs” published in January 2007 is already being published in Chinese. This course represents a chance to catch up with the latest thinking on KPIs. David believes that there are three types of performance measures and thus choosing the right mix is crucial for effective measurement and control.
This workshop will show you how to choose the right KPIs. Participants will be encouraged to share performance indicators they are currently working with, and to refine and edit them through workshop participation. This session will be useful for organisations regardless as to whether they have a balanced scorecard or not.
This session will cover:
- how performance measures are divided into three types: key result indicators, general performance indicators and key performance indicators
- KPI stories
- a critical success factor(CSF) case study
- workshop to revisit your own performance measures and practice finding your CSFs
