Key performance indicators enable us to control performance. They are powerful tools not because they tell us results, but because they enable us to change them. Robin Tidd argues that any organisation that uses KPIs but fails to link the “blue sky” strategic aspiration for the next 3-5 years to action within 3-5 weeks is failing to use KPIs effectively.

Drawing form over 25 years’ experience of advising business how to make their plans reality, Robin’s advice is always firmly based in reality. By linking short term results to longer term goals, he shows how KPIs are the key tool for management control.

Key Performance Indicators takes a practical approach. The course looks at how to use KPIs to convey results which show the degree to which main bottom line objectives are being met; to provide incisive knowledge allowing corrective action to be devised thereby facilitating results; and to motivate people so that they are proactive and innovative in improving, not just operating, a process.

If the right KPIs are used correctly it is an “all round win” for front line people, management and owners.
