How to become a KPI expert and lead your colleagues or clients to meaningfully measure performance...

The fact that you're visiting this website is a good start! I've tried to load it with useful and practical information that you can start using right away to improve your knowledge about how to measure performance.

Here are some specific tips, that you might like to consider if you want to ramp up your personal capability in leading others to measure performance:

STEP 1: Learn more about PuMP

PuMP is the only model I know of that steps out the details of designing meaningful measures - much more specifically than the overly hopeful instruction so many books and consultants give: "Okay, you've got your goals so now list some KPIs." Don't worry - you're not the only one who would like more detail than that! Take a closer look at PuMP...

STEP 2: Learn more about what being a performance measurement expert means

Over the last 5 or so years, there seems to be an ever-increasing number of organisations that are creating a new role in the corporate office: the Performance Measurement Officer. This person is responsible for facilitating the design, reporting and use of performance information in decision making about organisational results and improvement, usually across the entire organisation. This calls for some very specific attributes, and these six should be considered the bare minimum.

STEP 3: Learn the Performance Measure Blueprint (public workshop or inhouse course or online program)

The 2-day public workshop is run several times a year, in locations around Australia and the rest of the world. It is one of the best ways to learn the step by step process of performance measurement, from deciding what results to measure, designing measures, getting buy-in, through to reporting and using measures for performance improvement. Check out the next scheduled public Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop now (this takes you to the detailed workshop webpage).

You can also learn the step by step process of performance measurement very conveniently in our Performance Measure Blueprint Online Program, where each step is delivered to you via interactive webinars. Read more about the Performance Measure Blueprint Online Program now, to find out the next one scheduled.

Alternatively, if you have at least 10 colleagues in your organisation who need to develop their skills to measure what matters, the Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop can be tailored as an in-house workshop just for you.

STEP 4: Learn what it means to build internal performance measurement capability

In this FREE and convenient webcast, I want to go deep with you into the new skills that Performance Measurement Practitioners need now, and how you can develop them to speed up your journey to becoming the professional, confident and highly sought-after Performance Leader your organisation or company or clients need you to be. Listen for free, now.

STEP 5: Become a Certified PuMP Practitioner

The PuMP Performance Measurement Practitioner Certification Program builds beyond your knowledge of the Performance Measure Blueprint to give you the capability, confidence and resources to facilitate teams throughout your organisation to measure performance meaningfully and engagingly.
