Around 67% of the world’s population, or 5.4 billion people, are now online, according to the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) report, “Facts and Figures 2023.” Apparently, the demand for high-speed Internet access is increasing, and the telecommunications industry should make sure that its infrastructure can handle the growing usage without compromising quality.

But beyond infrastructure upgrades, it is important that organizations can effectively sustain their systems to constantly meet their goals and maintain reliable service for customers. One approach to achieve this is the implementation of performance measurement systems. This will allow organizations to gather data on network efficiency, easily identify bottlenecks, make well-informed decisions regarding infrastructure investments, and most of all, deliver better customer service.

Providing leaders, professionals, and the broader business community with essential knowledge and resources, The KPI Institute (TKI) curates a collection of diverse learning materials and opportunities in strategy and performance management and adjacent fields every month. Some of these resources, while released years ago, remain highly relevant due to their timeless principles and adaptability to changing business dynamics as well as their enduring value and insights for today’s challenges.

This month, TKI is pleased to present comprehensive, research-based resources focusing on telecommunications.
