Are Your KPIs OK?
Why 50% of KPIs Are Misleading & How to Fix Them

Course Overview

Most organizations rely on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success, track performance, and guide decision-making.

But here’s the harsh reality—50% of KPIs are misleading, creating a false sense of progress and leading to poor business decisions.

The language of numbers wins, provided they reflect reality. Without accurate KPIs, organizations fall into the trap of temporary fixes, depleting budgets and exhausting resources while fixing the same symptoms repeatedly.

This results in short-term success followed by long-term failures, eventually leading to major crises that erase past achievements.

Why This Course?

The Problem
