KPI implementation description:

KPIs provide a way to measure how well companies, business units, projects or individuals are
performing in relation to their strategic goals and objectives.
5 steps for implementing KPI:
1. KPI of result

KPI's typically align with business goals and may be used to measure aspects such as financial

2
performance, business growth, health and safety management, customer satisfaction and employee
retention.

2. KPI of cost

Unless you have a defined goal you have nothing against which to measure positive or
negative performance. The target should be specific e.g. rather than identifying that 'the
business needs to increase its customer base', a specific goal might be that 'the business needs
to have gained ten thousand new customers in the next eighteen months'.

3. KPI of functioning

Taking a snapshot of current performance provides a starting point for measurement and
enables the overall target to be broken down into smaller goals i.e. 'in order to for overall goal
X to be achieved, performance needs to improve by Y each month'.
 
4. KPI of performance

Reviewing how performance in the area being measure by the KPI has changed in the periods
leading up to implementation can help to identify more realistic goals and suggest whether
performance improves or declines at particular times of the year or after specific events,
helping you to manage these aspects in accordance with your objectives.
 
5. Efficiency KPIs

Depending upon the area of business performance being measured, the frequency with which
KPIs need to be reviewed may differ. Accurate measurement of performance can only be
obtained if a schedule of periodic review is defined and strictly adhered to.
