About the course

There are many performance measures available – literally hundreds. We call them key performance indicators (KPIs). But they can't all be "key" and they are not all equally useful, especially not to small and medium sized businesses. SMEs require KPIs that are easy to measure and easy to understand and that provide valuable information about how to effectively run the business.

Recently updated to include extra content on how to use KPIs as part of a continuous improvement process, this course is about performance measures that work for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The course provides a straightforward method of performance monitoring that allows problems to be identified and addressed.

This course has been reviewed and revised with content that is up to date for 2024/25
