Struggles with performance measurement are often caused by bad habits you don’t know you have!  First you may have to unlearn those bad habits.  Most people – whether executives, managers, strategy or performance professionals, or analysts – struggle to do measurement well.

Our clients often struggle to:

  • easily find meaningful measures
  • get true buy-in to performance measurement
  • strongly align measures to strategy
  • use measures to drive improvement

In the absence of a proper performance measurement methodology, old, outdated approaches overstay their welcome, which is all too common.  Put your Key Performance Indicator struggles behind you!

Some of the bad performance measurement habits that have become common practice are:

  • brainstorming KPIs and measures
  • writing objectives and goals with words like effective, efficient, sustainable, reliable, quality…
  • interpreting performance by comparing this month to last month.

If you want performance measures that really do dramatically improve performance, you have to unlearn these bad habits. Our services and workshops help you do exactly that. It will give you powerful new habits as it has done for hundreds of people.

Our program delivers a rigorous and practical methodology that details how to:
