Program Overview
KPI and performance measurement development is a discipline that involves articulating what an organization is trying to accomplish and then identifying the most meaningful and useful indicators of success. Simply selecting standard measures from a long list of possible measures is not effective. Performance measures, or KPIs, are a key part of any strategic management system, as they are critical to assessing the effectiveness of strategy implementation. KPIs also help with analysis of the gap between actual and targeted performance, and with measurement of organizational effectiveness and operational efficiency. Operational measures, project measures, risk measures, and employee measures provide an early-warning system throughout an organization to help improve performance. Meaningful and strong KPIs provide insight into whether strategies are working, whether programs, projects and services are on schedule, on budget, and delivered effectively. KPIs focus employees’ attention on what matters most to success, and allow for measurement of accomplishments.
This program is designed for all sectors—business and industry, government, and non-profit—and provides participants with practical tools to developing meaningful strategic and operational performance measures, and then develop their skills through a series of practical application exercises. Participants are taught how to use tools like the Logic Model, Cause-Effect Analysis, and Process Flow Analysis, used by organizations around the world, to understand and articulate desired results, determine what to measure, set targets and thresholds, develop composite measures using lower level performance measures, measure outcomes, outputs, processes, and inputs, and produce visually appealing reports and dashboards that better inform decision making throughout an organization. This course is designed to help participants understand the fundamentals of performance management, then successfully develop, deploy, and manage meaningful KPIs for strategic, operational, or program management.
10 Sessions Per Program
Each program will include one 60-90-minute lecture, plus a 60-90-minute small group exercise.
Session Lecture
For the first half of each session, an expert consultant will present content to the entire class. Much like BSI’s other educational webinars, this presentation will intersperse polling questions and other activities and will include a Q&A session at the end.
Session Small Group Exercise
For the second half of each session, delegates will be split into small groups. The groups will be tasked with completing a small group exercise. All exercises will be facilitated by an expert consultant. Participants in the LIVE ONLINE version are required to engage via web camera and microphone.
Reading, Quizzes and Exam
Sessions will be complemented with reading assignments, quizzes (not graded), discussion board dialog, and small-group instructor feedback. Upon completion of the course, participants will be required to take and pass the online KPIP Exam to become certified.
The Value of Training
Direct interaction with experienced BSI consultants is integral to the quality of all our programs, live or online. BSI consultants facilitate all interactive exercises in addition to the lecture, so each participant will likely see 120-180 minutes of instructor time each week, in addition to discussion board and homework review. The value of the live online content is the same, only the delivery is designed to meet the needs of those that can’t (or don’t want) to travel or be away from their office for five days.
About Our Partnership
In order to provide a seamless, high quality learning experience for the current and aspiring strategy leaders, BSI has partnered with The George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (GW CEPL), a part of the College of Professional Studies.
Upon successful completion of the KPI Professional Certification program, participants have the option of earning an additional certificate of completion from the renowned George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (GW CEPL), part of the GW College of Professional Studies (GW CPS).
