How do you create measurable KPIs or Metrics?
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are metrics that measure the performance of a business or a business process. They are used to track progress toward goals and to identify areas where improvement is needed.
To create measurable KPIs, you need to first define your goals. Once you know what you are trying to achieve, you can identify the metrics that will measure your progress.
For example, if your goal is to increase sales, you might use the following KPIs:
- Number of new customers acquired
- Average order value
- Customer lifetime value
It is important to choose KPIs that are measurable and that can be tracked over time. This will help you to track your progress and to make necessary adjustments to your strategy.
