KPI systems decay fast. Teams start tracking new metrics without retiring old ones. Definitions drift until nobody knows how a number was calculated. This course addresses the organizational challenge of maintaining measurement systems over time.
You will learn governance frameworks that specify who can add metrics, how definitions get documented, and when to sunset indicators that no longer serve decision-making. We cover version control for calculation formulas, change management when switching methodologies, and communication protocols for metric updates.
The Organizational Side
Much of this work involves people rather than spreadsheets. How do you tell a department their favorite metric is getting removed? What happens when two teams calculate the same KPI differently? How do you standardize definitions across international offices with different accounting practices?
The course includes frameworks for KPI review cycles, templates for metric documentation, and conflict resolution strategies for disagreements about what to measure. You leave with a governance charter customized for your organization size and complexity.
