Web Based Toolkit

A guide to implementing KPIs in your organisation from the King of the KPIs

Most organizations use the wrong measures, most of which are incorrectly termed key performance indicators (KPIs). Measures are destroying value and encouraging inappropriate activities, inhibiting projects, strangling outsourcing arrangements, and limiting the effectiveness of balanced scorecards.

Measures should be segregated between those that report on collective efforts (result indicators) and those measures that can be tied to a team that will enhance performance (performance indicators).

In Key Performance Indicators, performance measurement expert David Parmenter has developed a clear set of steps that enable leaders to avoid these pitfalls and create KPIs that meaningfully reflect short- and long-term organizational performance.

This book comes with a ninety page web-based toolkit (PDF), and is a simple and easy to read guide on how you go about finding measures that will help your organization on the journey from good to great. For people working on a KPI project, you can purchase the electronic version of the book templates plus useful PowerPoint presentations from the link below.
