Measure what matters most.

Measurements of success frameworks, key performance indicators, and metrics play an important role in driving outcomes. What we choose to measure truly matters. Pick the wrong ones and you run the risk of measuring meaningless indicators or driving unintended behaviours and results.

As human beings, we cannot help but adjust our behaviour based on how we are measured. That’s why it’s critical that your framework is aligned with the outcomes that matter most to your organisation and stakeholders.

What are measurements of success frameworks and KPIs?

A measurement of success framework should define quantifiable indicators that demonstrate how well an organisation, team, product, service or even a feature is performing against critical business objectives. They should provide any stakeholder with a clear understanding of how something will be measured and what is needed in order to properly track success factors.

Measurements of success frameworks consist of:

  • Metrics: a quantifiable measure
  • Key performance indicators (KPIs): a metric that is aligned to a critical need, objective, or outcome.

Identifying and monitoring meaningful metrics and key performance indicators can be challenging. But when constructed effectively, a measurement of success framework should structure thinking, incentivise optimal behaviour, and maintain a focus on the outcomes that matter most.

Selecting the right KPIs and setting up robust approaches to tracking these is a process that is unique to each organisation. And as things change, so should your measurements of success. Therefore, all good measurement frameworks should be periodically reviewed and adjusted.

Over the past 10 years, we’ve helped companies define a broad range of strategic and operational KPIs across the following functions:

  • Strategic
  • Financial
  • Customer experience
  • SaaS
  • Process/Operational
  • Change
  • Marketing
