growth, market share, customer satisfaction ratings, and brand awareness metrics.

 Measurement tools: Utilize data analytics software and customer feedback platforms to
gather and analyze relevant data.
 Measurement accuracy: Ensure accuracy in data collection and analysis to make

integrity.
 Frequency of measurement: Monitor KPI’s and feedback mechanisms on a monthly basis
to track progress and identify areas for improvement.
 Maximum allowable deviation: Define thresholds for deviations from set KPI’s and
benchmarks. Any deviation beyond the acceptable limit should trigger corrective action.

plan, activate a rapid response team to address issues promptly.

agile and responsive to changing conditions.
