Between the 13th – 15th May and 28th – 30th August 2019, The KPI Institute has successfully organized two new editions of our worldwide renowned course – The Certified KPI Professional in Australia’s most vibrant city, Sydney.
Regarding the course itself, The Certified KPI Professional, C-KPI for short, brought a comprehensive new world of insights into how organizations can and should strive for a continuous optimization of their performance operation and performance management processes.
“A fantastic and well-structured course, which really puts into perspective how to effectively set up KPIs for your organization. Very relevant, easily understood and very applicable to my field of work. It is highly recommended”. – Jane Rowe, ACT NoWaste, Transport Canberra & City Services
During the 3-day learning experience, the 13 attendees, as Performance Specialists, General Managers and Directors of several Australian-based organizations from the Utilities, Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals and Government Sector, had the opportunity of being guided by one of our foremost consultants, Andrea Minelli.
The attendees, via a combination of theoretical notions and hands-on-practice exercises and case studies, had the possibility to better understand and practice the following concepts:
- What is a Performance Management Framework and how to bring it to life;
- How to strategically select the relevant KPIs and why;
- How to implement best practices associated with the selection of relevant KPis;
- How to set realistic yet challenging targets;
- Ensuring the creation of a sound performance framework supporting a performance-oriented culture.
“The course is hands-on practice and extremely useful, with relevant topics and materials. It allowed us to find performance mistakes that we often do when we manage our departments or teams. Very impressed with the presenter, Andrea.” – Denis Nascimben, Sydney Water
