In my review of
Developing Meaningful Key Performance Indicators
by Clive Keyte posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave it Three Stars.
Here is my review.
A useful introduction without going into too much detail
Key performance indicators are important but it’s a hard subject to make interesting when you’re writing about it.
The author provides a seven step methodology for creating a set of KPIs for a business based on its objectives. Overall for a low cost book, I thought that it was good effort with plenty of sensible advice which starts with setting objectives.
Some of the tables and diagrams didn’t come out well on my kindle reader, which is disappointing since it made the final part, interpreting the results, more difficult to understand.
Even though it’s not a long book, time passes slowly and it would be easy to put it down and not pick it up again. I’d like to think there was an easy way to make reading about KPIs interesting but, in my experience, it only gets interesting when it’s about your business and you’re feeling more in control.
This is a useful guide for a manager who needs to implement a set of KPIs without being definitive.
