Measuring Success: A Practical Guide to KPIs
|
KPIs are what you pay attention to...
...so you can gauge the health of something, whether its a project, a department, a company, or a personal endeavor. Measuring Success is about how measurement can help you attain your goals — in business, yes, but really anywhere in life. There are countless books on the market about Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): how to define them, why they’re important, and how you can’t do business without them. Too often though, they miss a critical point: a KPI represents a mission, but it is not the mission itself. Available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. 
This book has no fat. Just what you need to know and how to apply it. |
I have read dozens (maybe even hundreds) of business books and I have a list of a few that are a must-read for the people I lead: "Measuring Success" will now be in it. Direct, complete, uncomplicated, practical ... and a little funny. The author’s style is approachable and easy to understand. He gives you a roadmap for setting, then achieving your goals that is applicable in business and personal settings. |
