1 WHAT ARE THE RIGHT KPIs FOR YOUR COMPANY? Veda Ferlazzo Clark Zedare Consulting This paper presents 100 KPIs examples for consideration and highlights the importance of dashboards for quick visual comprehension Zedare Consulting LLC

2 What Are the Right Key Performance Indicators for Your Company? Every sport has a way of keeping score, and key performance indicators (KPIs) are the scorecard for business. KPIs are metrics to assess performance and progress to a set of targets that define your business success. Organizations, business units, divisions, departments and employees all have KPIs. KPIs are useful tools to drive and understand your business and need to be defined in a way that are understandable, meaningful, and measurable. How to Define Your KPIs KPIs are dictated by your strategic plan and annual objectives. Select the key elements to watch that will answer these questions and tell you if you are on track: Where are we now? Where do we want to go? How will we know if we will arrive on time? There are two KPIs that all companies should include: A social sentiment measure of how the company is viewed by customers, vendors, stakeholders and a share of voice measure to understand the influence your company brings to bear in your industry. KPIs and Dashboards KPIs need to be readily accessible to managers at all levels to help them manage their business. There are many dashboard products available, and the quick comprehension that visuals allow is invaluable to propel action. The following list of 100 KPIs is a place for you to start to consider what measures will help you to manage your company more effectively. Companies typically gather way more data than they can act on, so be sure to select the fewest KPIs possible to keep you focused and on track. A few visuals from dashboards are shown, to demonstrate the impact of visuals. Financial/Corporate/Business Unit Performance Financial metrics measure your company s performance towards high level goals that are critical to shareholders, investors, banks, etc. to understand how your business is doing compared to plan and industry standards.
