When determining which indicators in each department of your business to track and how to track those indicators, there are steps that you can follow to make it a little easier. In this episode, Justin goes over the process and expectations you and your team should have when formulating and applying your business’s KPIs, KIs, and KRIs.

Over the last few episodes we have learned all about KPIs, KRIs, PIs, what they are and why they matter whether you’re the owner of a large business or a solopreneur. In this episode, Justin reviews the importance of Performance Indicators, the why and how indicators can be used to improve your business further, and reminds us that like Alice in Wonderland “Every adventure requires a first step.”

Operations covers many business related functions and tasks as a whole, and as such keeping track of these processes is invaluable for overseeing how well systems work and whether or not customers and clients continue to buy or use a businesses product or service. In this episode, Justin and Amy look at indicators for past, present and future tracking purposes, and list the main indicators and why they matter.

A happy team results in happy customers, so it’s important to keep track of employee satisfaction to ensure that the people in your business are content in their work. In this episode, Justin and Amy look at the most important KPIs, what they can reveal about your team, and why they matter.
