Program Professional Framework

Certified KPI Professional & Practitioner

Program Overview

Organisations often track dozens of indicators yet still struggle to answer whether their strategy is working. This practitioner programme focuses on designing KPI systems that matter: deriving indicators from strategic and operational objectives, distinguishing KPIs from KRIs and general metrics, writing complete KPI definitions, setting baselines and targets, and building dashboards that drive action. Participants learn to cascade indicators, audit existing KPI libraries for redundancy and gaming risks, and connect results to performance dialogue, with examples from Gulf government performance frameworks and corporate scorecards.

Learning Outcomes

✓Derive KPIs from strategic and operational objectives using an objective-to-indicator logic tree.
✓Write complete KPI definition sheets including formula, unit, polarity, frequency, data source and owner.
✓Set baselines and targets using historical trends, benchmarks and capacity constraints.
✓Audit an existing KPI library to remove duplicate, vanity and unmeasurable indicators.
✓Design a KPI dashboard with thresholds, trend views and drill-down suited to different management levels.
