Refocusing Organisational Performance: Lessons from a Successful KPI Implementation Project

So far, I have led many projects in different international companies to improve organizational performance by redefining KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and increasing employee engagement. During the project, we took several steps to eliminate silo thinking in the organisation and improve collaboration between different areas.

1. Redefining and Developing KPIs

The first step of the project was to reassess the company’s key performance indicators. Consultations were held with managers and representatives of the different areas to identify KPIs that truly reflect the strategic goals of the organisation and promote synergies between departments. As a result, we introduced new KPIs that provided concrete measures of collaboration between the different teams and the achievement of common goals.

2. KPI Tree Preparation

The preparation of the KPI tree was key to the success of the project. This tool helped us to visually show the links between KPIs and to make it clear to everyone how the activities of each department are linked to the achievement of corporate objectives. The KPI tree was made available to all employees so that they could keep track of their own and the company’s performance.

3. Clear definition of circles of responsibility

A key element of the project was the clear definition of responsibilities. Each area was given clear instructions on what KPIs they were responsible for and what role they would play in improving them. This helped to ensure that staff were clear about what results they were expected to achieve and how they could support the rest of the organisation.

4. Optimising Meeting Structures

We have also changed the meeting structures to ensure effective communication. We convened teams from different areas on a daily and weekly basis to discuss processes, emerging issues and progress. These meetings allowed representatives from different areas to have direct contact and work together to solve problems.

Project Outcomes and Impacts

After the project was completed, we saw significant improvements in employee engagement, organisational communication and overall work efficiency. Employees felt valued and that they had a real role to play in achieving company goals. Open communication and increased collaboration have strengthened trust within the organisation, which promises further organisational development in the future.

This project is an example of the extent to which structured and well-designed changes can improve the way a company operates and increase employee engagement.
