10. “Sorting the wheat from the chaff” – finding your wining KPIs
Why does performance measurement
fail in so many companies?
do not apply enough rigor in our measures –
hospital example
lack of a process – invented in a spare afternoon
little or no tie in to the organization’s critical
success factors
observed well after the ‘horse has bolted’
lack of clarity about who should see what
too many and all treated the same
lack of attention by the senior management team

Critical success factors
“a list of issues or aspects of organizational
performance that determine ongoing health,
vitality and well-being” source AusIndustry
out of the 30-40 success factors only 5 to 8
will be the critical ones
the missing link to making your performance
measures work
How well known are the critical success
factors in your organization?
24% - there is a list which I have as do other staff
25% - there may be a list but I am not aware of it
51% - no formal list but management refer to
them in papers and discussions
Source: survey March 08 www.bettermanagement.com
over 450 attendees
Has an exercise been undertaken to
ascertain your organizations critical
success factors within the last 5 years?
32% - yes
48% - not to my knowledge
20% - do not know
Source: survey March 08 www.bettermanagement.com
over 450 attendees
With 40 or so success factors there is
confusion and a lack of focus
too many measures
strategic plans with too many diverse and
contradictory initiatives
lack of communication and direction to
operational and support staff
Most organizations know their success
factors - however few organisations
have:
worded their success factors appropriately
segregated out success factors from their
strategic objectives
sifted through them to find their critical ones
– their CSFs
communicated the CSFs to staff
Importance of getting the SFs right
wording of the SFs is critical
• retention of staff becomes retention of key staff
• increase repeat business becomes increase repeat
business from core customers
measures become more specific
• daily sales becomes daily sales made to key
customers
• planned calls becomes planned calls to key
customers
• deliveries made on time becomes deliveries to key
customers made on time
Finding your critical success factors
(step 6) is a three phase process
1. finding out the SFs that have been mentioned
over the last ten years or so
2. holding a two day workshop
3. presentation to the SMT and Board to obtain
agreement on the CSFs
The Goal: to find your 5 to 8
organization-wide CSFs
5 to 8 regardless of size
CSFs will largely be industry specific e.g.
the CSFs for an airline are different to a
retail record chain store
a conglomerate organization would have 5 to
8 CSFs for each different industry
a very subjective exercise - highly dependent
on the analytical skill of those involved
Please talk to the person next to you about
what I have said
does it make sense?
is it relevant to you?
any areas of confusion
Phase 1: Researching the existing SFs
finding out the SFs that have been mentioned
over the last ten years or so
developing a list of these and grouping similar
ones together
consult stakeholders (board members, key
customers, key suppliers, unions etc.) and
employees
interview some of the SMT and Board
members (especially those who have known
the organization for a long time)

Phase 2: Holding a two day workshop
1. planning the workshop

making sure all attend (invite from the CEO)
2. use the agenda in the manual
run the 6 workshops
check that proposed CSFs address all the six BSC
perspectives
3. day and half for all, 2 days for the KPI team
4. utilize material I have put on
www.bettermanagement.com
Suggested attendees
20 to 40 people experienced and knowledgeable staff
from all around the organization (operators,

selection of management from head office including
one or two from the SMT
all KPI project staff
external project facilitator, if you have one
if a couple of pilots are to be run, invite a team from
the relevant business units

list the 24/7, daily, weekly measures, if any,
that are currently being collected in this area
discuss requirement to communicate to
employee representatives and staff
ask for permission to proceed to next stage, (
team and organizational measures)

organizational scorecards
reporting progress to staff
the staffs’ own performance agreements
see other ‘better management’ presentations I
have delivered for examples of these
Suggested next steps

free to access
acquire the book “Key Performance Indicators –
developing, implementing and using winning KPIs”
ban further development of measures until the CSFs
have been agreed
hold the two day CSFs workshop (may need a
