Half Day workshop delivered David Parmenter “Developing, implementing and using winning KPIs”
Performance measurement is failing organizations worldwide, whether they are multinationals, government departments, or non profit agencies. The KPIs that have been adopted were dreamed up one day, without any linkage to the critical success factors of the organizations. The lack of understanding of performance measures has led most monitoring and reporting of measures to fail, including balanced scorecard initiatives.
For years many organisations have used what they thought were KPIs but the measures have not had the impact management and the Board were seeking. KPIs themselves are mislabelled and misused. Organisations with over 20 KPIs lack focus, lack alignment and under achieve. In fact, there are normally less than 10 true KPIs in an organisation and these are measured and reported 24/7, daily, or at the outside weekly.
David Parmenter’s books “Key Performance Indicators – Developing, Implementing and Using Winning KPIs” (2007,2010) and “Key Performance Indicators For Government and Non Profit Agencies” (2012) This course represents a chance to catch up with the latest thinking on KPIs. David believes that there are four types of performance measures and thus choosing the right mix is crucial for effective measurement and control.
This workshop will show you how to choose the right KPIs. Participants will be encouraged to share performance indicators they are currently working with, and to refine and edit them through workshop participation. This session will be useful for organisations regardless as to whether they have a balanced scorecard or not.
This session will cover:
- how performance measures are divided into four types: key result indicators, performance indicators, result indicators and key performance indicators
- understanding the dark side of performance measures
- the myths of performance measurement (all measures are KPIs, it is easy to find measures that work etc)
- how to arrive at your organization’s critical success factors (CSF)
- workshop to brainstorm measures from a CSF
- the 10/80/10 rule for measures
- reporting of performance using the thinking of Stephen Few
