KPI design cues

Purpose

Define the decision, behaviour or outcome the KPI is intended to influence.

Formula

Specify numerator, denominator, calculation type, unit and any inclusion/exclusion rules.

Target

Set the required performance level using strategy, commitments, benchmarks, capability or risk tolerance.

Thresholds

Align warning and critical levels with whether higher or lower values represent better performance.

Ownership

Name the accountable role responsible for investigating deterioration and coordinating action.

Cadence & Source

Define when the KPI is reviewed and the trusted source from which it is calculated.

Key Takeaway
A KPI is a management signal, not just a calculation.

Connect the formula to a decision purpose, target, thresholds, accountable owner, review cadence and trusted source so the measure can drive action.
