What are “Key Performance Indicators” - KPIs
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are a set of quantifiable measures that a
company uses to gauge its performance over time
KPIs are used to determine a company's progress in achieving its strategic and
operational goals, and also to compare a company's finances and performance
against other businesses within its industry
Key Performance Indicators should be avital navigation instrument used by
management to understand whether their business is on a successful voyage or
whether is veering off the prosperous path
Whatever Key Performance Indicators are selected, they must reflect the
organization's goals, they must be key to its success, and they must be quantifiable
(measurable)
KPIs must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound and must
have a clear target
