Performance Measurement

People often asked me: Bernard, does measuring performance really help us improve? Can KPIs and metrics make a tangible difference in our businesses? And my answer is always a big and resounding YES!

Good news for all business managers that would love to have their business metrics — for which the data reside in databases behind the firewall (on-premise) — available on their smart-phone. We have made the integration of on-premise data into KPI Dashboard much easier with our Data Collector.

KPI Dashboard offers click-and-go integrations. Just provide KPI Dashboard with credentials to access the selected application / tool, and it will automatically collect trending data for (key) performance indicators, and update it every day, no configuration required.

Just in time for the holidays, we have released two brand-new free data integrations for KPI Dashboard in our KPI Dashboard Store both for Facebook analytics: Facebook Page and Facebook Domain.

On April 9, 1992 the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum awarded the Westray Mine the coveted John. T. Ryan Award. The Institute grants the award every year to the mine that had the lowest accident frequency per 200,000 hours worked during the previous calendar year in Canada.

There are indeed a few different opinions out there about what makes a goal worth measuring. So why are so many of our goals so hard to meaningfully measure?
