What a KPI pack contains
Deliberately short. If a number does not change a decision, it does not belong on the page.
- Eight to twelve headline measures agreed with you
- Each one against target and against last period
- Direction of travel over the last twelve months
- Red, amber and green thresholds you define
- A one-line explanation beside each movement
- Supporting detail available behind the summary
Who needs it
- Management teams reviewing a different report each month
- Boards receiving forty pages and reading four
- Owners tracking the business through their bank balance
- Businesses with targets nobody reports against
- Teams where every department reports in a different format

Frequently asked questions
How many KPIs should we track?
Eight to twelve on the headline page is usually right. Beyond that people stop reading, and the numbers that matter get lost among the ones that do not.
What if departments calculate things differently?
That is the most common problem we find, and fixing it is part of the work. Every measure gets a written definition that everyone signs off.
Can each department have its own page?
Yes. A headline page plus a page per function is a common structure.
Can you help us choose the measures?
Yes. We will propose a starting set based on your industry and what you have told us you decide on, then refine it with you.
Can this include non-financial measures?
Yes, and it usually should. Service levels, delivery times, complaints and staff turnover often explain the financial numbers.
