    About this ebook

    If you are looking for a clearly defined and explained set of financial KPIs, this is the guide for you. Each KPI entry includes a full description, worked example, formula and typical data sources. Many of the definitions for more complex KPIs also include advice for dealing with common problems and mistakes. The KPIs included are part of the ROKS ExpressTM KPI selection approach, so are designed to integrate perfectly with other KPIs from the series ('Essential KPIs' books, or 'Getting Started with KPIs’ - the full manual for the ROKS ExpressTM approach). The KPIs in this book have been developed by Bernie Smith, founder of Made to Measure KPIs. Bernie has over twenty years experience helping companies grow and succeed through the effective use of performance measurement and practical improvement techniques. His hands-on experience spans aerospace, banking, manufacturing, defence, e-commerce and healthcare. Prominent clients include HSBC, Airbus, Barclays and UBS.

    Author

    Bernie Smith

    Bernie coaches businesses to develop meaningful KPIs and present their management information in the clearest possible way to support good decision making. Frustrated by the random way in which performance measures are often chosen and implemented, Bernie set up Made to Measure KPIs in 2007. The goal was to develop simple, structured and repeatable ways to create KPIs that normal humans could design and use to improve businesses. Using the experience (and scars) of working with a huge variety of organisations over his consulting career, Bernie has boiled that experience down into simple, sensible and practical advice on performance measurement. His books aim to share that expertise in a down to earth and conversational style. Bernie lives in Sheffield, UK, with his wife and two children and some underused exercise equipment.
