How to create KPIs In my opinion, there are a few pivot points regarding creating a KPI system for a company. It’s necessary to understand what your goal is, as a company. For example, you want to make more money. Or you want to conquer the world. Then how can you measure it? September is just the right time to glance at your KPIs and check if they’re feasible, responding to your requests, and if were made under your goals. The best ways to do it in my experience and the experience of my company Add One Touch, I will share in the following posts.

🔍Cracking the Code: Leading vs. Lagging KPIs & The Critical Number for Business Success 🚀 If you're serious about Scaling your business, you need to get savvy with your metrics. Verne Harnish's Scaling Up methodology makes it crystal clear: understanding Leading and Lagging KPIs, plus identifying your Critical Number, is a game-changer. Let's dive in! 👉 Leading KPIs: Think of these as your business's early warning system. They’re predictive and proactive, giving you insights into what’s coming down the pipeline. Examples? - Number of new leads generated - Customer engagement rates - Sales calls made These metrics let you tweak and adjust in real-time to keep things on track. 👉 Lagging KPIs: These are your report card. They tell you how you did. Examples? - Monthly revenue - Customer satisfaction scores - Profit margins Lagging KPIs are great for understanding the impact of your actions and decisions after the fact. 🔑 The Critical Number: This is your North Star—the one metric that can drive your company’s success. It should be: - Clear and measurable - Aligned with your strategic goals - A rallying point for your team Example for Law Firms or professional services: ROAS - Return on Annual Salary (per revenue generating person) Net Profit Per Client Focusing on your Critical Number ensures everyone’s rowing in the same direction and hitting the targets that matter most. So, if you’re ready to take your business to the next level, keep an eagle eye on those Leading KPIs, measure your outcomes with Lagging KPIs, and rally your team around your Critical Number. 🚀📈 #ScalingUp #BusinessGrowth #KPIs #CriticalNumber #VerneHarnish #BusinessStrategy #Success

You can bang your head against a wall very efficiently and effectively.
CausalAI | Business Effectiveness | De-Risk Your Plan | First to Prove B2B Marketing Multiplier | “Best of LinkedIn” | AI Professor | HSE | Pavilion | Forbes | ABA | MASB | ANA | GTM5 | Author
When the Universe speaks, you're smart if you listen. I've received a lot of PMs in the past few weeks, and more than half asked for practical guidance re causal analytics, both for GTM and more broadly, as well as an explanation of terms, likely issues to be thinking about, and all the kind of real life stuff that is the difference between Concept and Reality. Two people went further, asking me to show them how to operationalize a lot of the technical principles that Dale W. Harrison outlines in his newsletter, which is sponsored by ProofAnalytics.ai. That's a great idea. So....there are a lot of places we could start, but let's begin with what the Business cares about most, whether from GTM or other functions: Effectiveness Materiality Efficiency Sustainability 1. #Effectiveness is defined as "the quality of results derived from the money, time, and effort invested to attain those results." For example, given the fact that Marketing is a nonlinear multiplier of Sales effectiveness, Marketing is considered effective when it multiplies the effectiveness and efficiency of Sales beyond what Sales could have attained by itself. Analytically, Effectiveness is about the causal effects your investments had on a desired outcome, considering time lag and external headwinds and tailwinds. 2. #Materiality identifies the significance of the issues or factors to a company's business. Materiality is a sort of "1b" derivative of effectiveness. This is not about effectiveness, per se, but rather how crucial X is to the success of the business. Materiality is a relative idea commonly expressed as a stack rank. 3. #Efficiency is a ratio between the value of X and what the resources needed to produce it. Before you can calibrate the efficiency of something, you first have to determine how effective / valuable it is. Once something is understood to be effective and significant to the forward momentum of the business, the goal should be to match spent to results more and more advantageously to the company. This is not just about cutting the cost; it is about spending the right amount of money to extract the full value of something that's clearly effective. 4. For your GTM efforts to be #Sustainable means that they have to generate enough cashflow into the company to justify the cash needed to pay for all of it. This is important, as you can be very effective and be unsustainable, just as a company can be growing and still go out of business because it ran out of cash. ROI, CAC, LTV, etc are not effectiveness metrics. Your C-suite knows this, so when you emphasize efficiency metrics to imply your effectiveness, there's a big hole in your argument. Tomorrow, I'll be on the Hard Skill Exchange debate on "GTM Productivity v. Performance" with Mark Ogne of Symplexity.AI, Mariana Cogan of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Christian Idiodi of Silicon Valley Product Group, and Jen Anderson of Contento. Looking forward to sharing and learning!
