BIAnalytix Tip Summary: The Power of KPIs that define Goals as Percentage Improvements

By expressing the corporate goals for any future periods as a percentage improvement over a previous period, you effectively set criteria for individual goals for all contributing management and staff across the corporation. This is particularly valuable when you want the ability to drill-down to any level of detail in the organization and to make comparisons of performance at the individual, department, region or corporate level. These KPI business goals may be established according to whatever key criteria are important to your organization. However by expressing these corporate goals for future periods as a percentage improvement over a previous period, these corporate KPI measures can easily be defined and disseminated on dashboards to communicate performance to every contributor in your media corporation.

There is an enormous benefit for senior executives to have the ability to access unlimited drill-down of KPIs. One of the challenges in achieving this ability is the requirement that goals are established for each of these drill-down levels. The effort to establish defined goals manually for all these levels of the company often is daunting and is a fundamental limiting factor for widespread use of KPIs. However, when goals are divided automatically (such as by applying percentage improvement goals), then the execution of the process is simple. The drill-down ability that is then enabled for the KPIs allows you to find the primary contributing sources (sales office, sales rep, agency, advertiser, etc.) that are causing a deviation from the corporate goals so that actions can be taken to either reward individuals (or departments) or take corrective action as needed.

BIAnalytix is a Media Business Intelligence system from Decentrix that uses percentage improvements over past performance in a number of KPIs suitable for Media Groups to refine and adopt for their own use.
