Selecting the most relevant KPIs for each business department represents one of the biggest challenges. Based on our extensive global research experience we have developed a wide-ranging collection of dictionaries and reports that aim to provide the most insightful and relevant Key Performance Indicators used in practice today.
Programs
The KPI Dictionary do not only define the indicators, but also contain explicit presentations of the calculation formula for more than 8,000 KPIs. They can be used in the early stages of implementing a performance management framework, in the process of selecting and documenting KPIs, but also to improve an existing performance measurement system.
