What problems do you have with key performance indicators (KPIs)? Are they actionable or not? How do you measure them?
Today, I’m sharing a session that I did that was rated #1 at the Real Business Intelligence event at MIT back in 2017. It's called "Secrets to building actionable KPIs". Specifically, I discuss three of the more well-known and commonly used methods: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound (SMART) Goals, Wildly Important Goals (WIGs), and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).
In this episode, you'll learn:
- [02:19] Are KPIs and metrics the same? Do you track KPIs? Metrics? Core competencies?
- [02:44] Key Quote: Living in KPI land, there’s a lot of measurements, but you discover that not all measurements are created equal. - Mico Yuk
- [04:02] KPI Problem #1: Too many KPIs; focus on tracking 3-5, no more than 10.
