"We had an organisational misunderstanding of KPIs. This How-to Kit gave us workable KPIs - it gave us a step by step path through it."

Eric Belcher, ESRI Australia

I have decided that in terms of writing measures I don't have to look any further for help beyond this How-to Kit. I like the structure, the layout, it is easy to follow and you can find your way through it easily."

Gerry Roberts, DPI&F, Longreach

"There are many books out there that go on about the 'why' and philosphies of performance management, but precious few that provide the 'how-to' and Stacey has done that."

Brian Nielsen, Nielsen Instant Knowledge Systems

"I am always surprised by how counter-intuitive setting measures seems to be, and as a result I tend to underestimate the amount of education it takes to get a team to formulate performance measures. Stacey Barr's 5-step process has been well-received by my staff. The explanations and work sheets have helped people grab on to something and work their way to a result. We have more work to do, and it is going slower than I had hoped, but I am convinced that the process has been key to the progress we've made."

Jack Peterson, President, Bellarmine Preparatory School, Tacoma WA, USA

Having trouble finding meaningful performance measures and KPIs, especially for the seemingly immeasurable?
 --> How-to Kit: How to Design Meaningful Performance Measures

Overview:

Are KPIs wasting your time, not measuring what really matters, not aligning to your strategy, and not getting buy-in? It's almost certainly because of the approach you're taking to create those KPIs or performance measures.

Brainstorming, looking at the data you have easy access to, searching online, or even asking the experts, are *not* the ways to find meaningful measures. You end up with too many measures, measures that track easy activities rather than important outcomes, measures people don't trust or own, and no meaningful measures for intangible outcomes.

This How-to Kit lays out, in easy to follow instructions supported by examples, the 5 powerful steps to create and find meaningful measures, even for the most intangible of results. It works beautifully in a team dialogue, which is the key to getting people to buy-in to measures.

Who it's for:

  • Performance measurement practitioners and consultants who lead and facilitate teams to create KPIs or performance measures.
  • Corporate Planners who facilitate strategic or operational planning sessions and include the selection of KPIs or performance measures in the plans.
  • Business Analysts who want to be proactive in assisting their managers and clients to clearly articulate which measures are worth reporting.
  • Managers who want to engage people in measuring what matters, by including them in a dialogue to identify and own the measures.
  • Project Officers who want to measure the impact of their initiatives, goals and project outcomes.

What's included:

  • Easy to follow instruction booklet, well organised, easy to follow and in colour
  • Resources including templates, examples and handouts to use with your team and make implementation easy and quick
  • Bonus audio of Stacey's exclusive interview with Douglas Hubbard, best-selling author of "How to Measure Anything"

Complementary products:

These how-to kits work together in a process of identifying which results to measure, designing the measures, defining the details for how to measure them, and reporting measures for use in decision-making and performance improvement:
