A few months ago during the Presidential inauguration, a concept I have kicked around a bit presented itself in a vivid example. What stuck me was all the pomp and circumstance, all the background noise. Did I really want to hear the opening prayer, the closing prayer, all the singing, and the poetry? No, I wanted one thing – to hear the message this President was going to deliver on how he was going to set up his presidency. Everything else was else in a way, distraction.
As organizations, how often do we set a clear and concise goals for the organization and the individuals? How many times do we repeat what someone else just said?
When we design KPIs for the organization, do we create a single measure for a goal and use other analytics for support? Or do we create a number of ways to view the goal? If we create many definitions, we allow for people to pick the one they want. Use KPI design as a way to gain clarity of a goal. Use Scorecard design to gain clarity of purpose.
