The KPI Institute successfully hosted a forum on global trends that will impact strategy and performance management practices in 2023. Dubbed “2023 Business Pulse: 5 Trends Impacting Strategy and Performance Management,” the event was hosted by the TKI Research Division’s business unit manager, Cristina Mihailoaie, and data expert, Islam Salahuddin.

The webinar covered trends in the realms of geopolitics, economics, society and culture, technology, and sustainability. Through careful analysis of these trends, our experts identified the most possible trajectories that will shape the future of strategy and performance management:

• There will be a greater need for more resilient strategies and agile performance management.
• More companies will realize the need for a data strategy that allows for robust data governance.
• Automation will produce better performance results.
• Performance improvement will be achieved through upskilling and reskilling.
• Performance improvement hinges on continuous learning.
• Employee performance management will be reshaped in an employee-centric approach.

“As Peter Drucker said, ‘The best way to predict the future is to create it,’ and this seminar has equipped our participants with the knowledge and understanding to do just that,” said Cristina.

New year, new me, right? What better time of the year than the early few months to get ahead of everyone else, by tuning in to the first webinar episode of the year. After several weeks of deliberation, we’ve finally decided that the best way to start off 2020 is by introducing our viewers to something traditional, akin to our namesake.

Now, we do understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and as a result, KPIs appear in the organizational world in accordance with strategic intentions. Therefore, there’s no preformatted recipe for them.

Nevertheless, among them, there are some which will indefinitely keep their value over time. In the performance management and business strategy field, KPIs are some of the main tools at hand.

In this webinar, we will be exploring KPI examples that are popular, rarely get out of use and will be reflected in the KPIs Architecture, one way or another. They will be addressed based
on the traditional Balanced Scorecard perspectives: Financial, Customers, Internal Processes, People Learning and Growth.

Main topics covered

• What are KPIs and how do they make a difference?
• KPIs examples that rarely lose importance
• KPIs Lifecycle: Evolution stage
• Tools for KPIs utilization

What you will learn?

• The definition, purpose, calculation and collection method for popular KPI examples;
• What happens with KPIs in the long run, as possible scenarios of their Evolution stage;
• An exposure of tools where KPIs make their appearance.
