2020 was a wild ride. It was probably, barring 2008, the most rollercoaster year in the recent 20 years. Most organizations had to completely overhaul and rethink their strategies, operations, corporate culture, management style, logistics, and the way they interact with employees and customers alike. In recent history, this has been one of the most uniquely-challenging years for businesses and institutions.

Even for us, at The KPI Institute, 2020 proved to be quite an interesting experience, as we revamped our entire course offer, from the face-to-face format, to the live online format. However, this turned out to be a roaring success, given that we’ve had to organize additional sessions upon the already-planned ones, as participants kept coming in droves. This December alone we’ve scheduled over 4 extra sessions, on top of the 4 we already had planned!

Taking performance to a new level

In addition to all of this, we have added three new courses to our list of certifications – the Certified Agile Strategy Execution Professional, the Certified Strategy Development & Execution Professional, and the Certified Governance and Compliance Audit Professional.
