KPI Setup
Measurement that actually changes decisions. We build the dozen numbers your exec team argues about — with owners, thresholds and a weekly review that fits on one screen, not a sixty-slide MI deck.
What you get
- A KPI tree of 10–15 numbers, each with an owner, target, threshold and source system.
- A weekly exec pack that fits on one screen — not a 60-slide MI deck.
- The review ritual: who speaks, for how long, in what order, and what decision comes out.
- Data-quality tripwires: the KPIs that lie, and the checks that catch them before the meeting.
- A decommission list: the 40+ metrics you'll stop tracking, because nobody was.
How we work
- We start with the decisions, not the data. What does the exec team need to decide this quarter? Then we work back into the numbers that answer it.
- We challenge every KPI. Who changes behaviour when this moves? If the answer is "nobody," it's reporting, not a KPI.
- Build once, run together, run alone. We build the ritual with you, run it while you watch, then you run it while we watch. Three iterations and out.
- No new tool unless it solves a real problem. Power BI, Tableau, Looker, a Google Sheet — whichever one your team will actually open on Monday.
Ideal for
- CEOs whose exec team argues over the same three numbers every week.
- Founders whose board reporting has grown into a monthly homework assignment.
- Public sector leaders who need accountability without bureaucracy.
- Global teams aligning KPIs across regions without losing local nuance.

Where we've run this before
Built KPI frameworks and weekly exec reviews inside AB InBev's global digital transformation, and ran KPI/OKR-driven performance cycles at Welyo after the Focus Telecom + Systell merger. See four engagements with real numbers →
