The KPI Institute (TKI) has introduced a full series of key performance indicator (KPI) posters aimed at improving strategy and performance management in organizations. This initiative underlines TKI’s continuing mission in promoting business excellence by offering leaders practical resources for sharpening their managerial and operational focus.

The KPI posters for strategy and performance management are part of the broader KPIs for Functional Areas series. This series explores KPIs tailored to different organizational functions, aligning them with strategic objectives using the balanced scorecard framework. Each set of posters offers detailed insights into KPI definitions, component metrics, and calculation methods, drawing on TKI’s extensive consultancy experience.

The KPI posters for strategy and performance management focus on four key areas:

1. KPIs for Corporate Performance Management: These metrics provide a detailed analysis of the health and performance of an organization. They monitor performance in relation to strategic plans and guarantee compliance with strategic directions. Examples are % KPIs below target and # Time to compile the performance report.
2. KPIs for Strategic Planning: These measurements are useful for leaders to create and implement efficient strategic management plans. Examples are # Stakeholder Engagement Index, % KPIs updated in the system, and # Strategic workshops conducted.
3. KPIs for Initiatives Management: Through monitoring the level of accomplishment and results, these KPIs assist in confirming that certain organizational undertakings are on track and delivering expected outcomes. Examples are # Resource capacity per project, % Portfolio budget spending, and # Benefit cost-ratio of strategic initiatives.
4. KPIs for Performance Analytics: Metrics in this category are used to help in the decision-making process by giving a trend analysis of performance. They support the executives in the evaluation of data and defining areas of potential enhancement. Examples are % Decisions based on data insights and # Data security incidents.

The KPI Institute recently interviewed Dr. Keith A. Clinkscale, the Strategic Planning and Performance Management Director at Palm Beach County, Florida, USA, to find out how the hospitality, travel, and tourism industry has been recovering from drought during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here is an excerpt of the interview, which will be published in the next issue of Performance Magazine – Print Edition.

TKI: Can you share any “legacy” management practices that have lost their relevance in recent years? 

Dr. Clinkscale: Our recognition of operating in “silos” is driving more team collaboration. Some of the legacy practices in government were about “staying in your lane.” Many departments and organizations develop vertical expertise. Sometimes, they do it without input or knowledge of what is happening to their left or right. The trend is to move forward, collaborate, team up across disciplines, and generate more creative solutions through diverse and different perspectives.

TKI: What are your major challenges in managing performance? 

Dr. Clinkscale: One of the major challenges in managing performance is busy people. Sometimes people think they are too busy to manage performance. However, they are too busy not to measure performance. Taking a deep breath and looking at the data can position organizations to do the right thing based on data. Repeatedly convincing them of this can be a challenge.

TKI: What does the corporate performance management system of the future look like in the hospitality, travel, and/or tourism industry? 

Dr. Clinkscale: In the hospitality, travel, and tourism industry, the future of corporate performance management systems will make tracking trends over five years faster and easier.

We need to see how people respond to travel, hotel stays, and vacation activities. It is essential for us to understand what people value, and we need this information quickly, easy to decipher, and frequently as things change every day.
