There is a crucial connection between an organization’s goals and its performance metrics. A compelling mission statement means little without specific, measurable actions that drive success. These measurable indicators, known as key performance indicators (KPIs), can be structured into a balanced scorecard—a framework that tracks business performance over time, whether weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
In this course, accounting professors Jim and Kay Stice explore the essential KPIs businesses should include in a balanced scorecard, covering financial objectives, employee engagement, and customer satisfaction. They explain how to create a mission statement that aligns with your KPIs and how to link performance to incentives.
