How to focus your team on the KPIs you measure is as hard as choosing the right KPIs in the first place. Greater focus from the team means more time and effort directed at what drives the KPIs, which will increase team performance. 

I share 5 key tactics to get your team laser focused on the key performance indicators you measure.

---
KPIs or key performance indicators are how you measure and track progress against the goals you have set. KPIs are a very useful too in performance management and business management and widely used as a result. 

Setting KPIs that change behaviour of your team and align effort and action on the tasks, activities and projects that will best help the team reach the goals set is a critical first step.

Most businesses have information overload. After goal setting, working out which kpis and metrics to track to drive results is not easy. 

Once you have chosen your key performance indicators, educating your team to why you have chosen these specific KPIs is the next step. If they don’t understand how the KPIs link to the goals and the why behind them, they will not be nearly as engaged and focused on undertaking activity in the right areas to maximise progress.

Next explaining to the team exactly what they need to do to improve a KPI measure is a must. Don’t expect them to know this or understand everything about what is needed. Explain and educate them. When the team know exactly what to do and how to do it, they are much more likely to deliver what you need. 

In our extremely busy and distracting workplaces, it is not enough to talk about KPIs and goals a few times and expect the team to stay focused on delivering against them. You need to constantly remind them. I share 7 ways to do this very effectively.

Finally, to add even more focus on the tasks, activities and projects that will best progress the team to reaching goals, link all the benefit you can into kpi progress and reaching goals. There is a lot of benefit that don’t need budget and of course many that do. Clink a range of both to improving kpis and achieving goals.
