Hi Name,

This week we want to work on using Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) as a management tool.  These are vital to have you taking control of the systems and people in your business to ensure they are working effectively. 

KPI’s need to be collected, assessed and then used to feedback to your team so everyone knows what is expected of them.  This process is important to get right as culture can be negatively impacted if a team are left feeling judged and criticised.

Use the templates to design a scoreboard that will engage your team and help you to manage performance…

We will help you work through how to do this in your business.
