Overview

Key Performance Indicators (a.k.a KPIs), help determine the condition and sustainability of the current business model of an organisation.

Carrying out regular review of KPIs help firms to:

• Identify the strengths and weakness of their business organisations
• Spot potential problems before they turn serious
• Determine which aspects of the business are underperforming
• Increase the firm’s competitive advantage in its market segments

All KPIs have a common goal: To keep businesses well-tuned and ready for financial success. So the key questions remain : What's behind those numbers you see ? Do they spell Growth or Danger ?
