Better KPIs Better Results
What is a KPI? KPI stands for key performance indicator, a quantifiable measure of performance over
time for a specific objective. KPIs provide targets for teams to shoot for, milestones to gauge progress,
and insights that help people across the organization make better decisions.
KPIs and measures can drive a business in the right direction, or become instruments of torture.
I believe that most organisations can do a lot more with the data and systems they already have.
​
What is the ROKS™ approach?
​
The ROKS approach is a simple seven-step method for developing key performance indicators (KPIs).
It involves identifying the core outcomes an organisation is looking for, breaking those outcomes into two
further levels of detail and then identifying the KPIs related to those results.
Who is the ROKS Enterprise™ approach designed for?
Medium to large enterprises that want to use their strategic objectives to develop focussed, effective set of performance indicators. It can also be useful for smaller organisations with complex or unusual needs.
When not to use the ROKS Enterprise™ approach
If you run a small-medium business where your business goals can be fully described by the following objectives…
Run a profitable and solvent business
-
A growing business
-
A balanced quality of life
-
A legal and compliance business
-
An innovative business
-
Manage risk (legal, health and safety, environmental etc.)
... you will find the ROKS Express™ method is better tailored to your needs.
