Designing KPIs and KRIs

Designing KPIs and KRIs

Designing KPIs and KRIs linked to real-world decisions, with clear alert thresholds and designated responsible parties — not vanity metrics.

What it covers

We have selected the indicators that actually influence decisions — not those that are easy to measure — and set specific alert thresholds for each KRI.

  • Purpose and use cases
  • Inputs and data sources
  • Visual or documentary structure
  • Quality and governance criteria

Deliverables

A catalogue of KPIs and KRIs, including their calculation formulas, data sources, reporting frequency and the person responsible, as well as the thresholds that trigger escalation.

  • Output model
  • Recommended fields and indicators
  • Example of structure
  • Next steps for implementation

Expected result

Fewer indicators on the dashboard, but each one linked to a real decision — this eliminates the noise from vanity metrics.

  • Fewer unproductive meetings
  • Greater traceability
  • Faster decision-making
  • Better preparation for audits or reporting

Shall we talk about the context?

A 30-minute conversation to assess priorities and draw up a practical plan — together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about designing KPIs and KRIs

What is the design of KPIs and KRIs?

The design of KPIs and KRIs is the process of selecting, defining and calibrating key performance indicators (KPIs) and key risk indicators (KRIs) that effectively guide decision-making, with clear thresholds and designated responsible parties.

How does the process work?

We begin by mapping out the starting point, setting measurable objectives and implementing the plan in phases, with regular progress reviews.

How long does it take, and who is involved?

We tailor the pace to the organisation’s circumstances: simpler projects are completed within weeks, whilst larger initiatives may take several months.
