The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Framework is a systematic approach used by businesses to define and measure progress toward organizational goals. KPIs are quantifiable measurements that reflect the critical success factors of an organization. This framework helps in tracking efficiency, effectiveness, and overall performance, providing insights that aid in decision-making and strategic planning. The use of KPIs enhances the ability to monitor achievements and identify areas needing improvement, thus fostering better operational control and strategic alignment.
