KPI Workshop Delivery Style
A typical workshop is interspersed with numerous discussions, exercises and illustrations.
Our KPI workshop is a very interactive hands on experience during which delegates are actively involved in establishing chosen processes, mapping them and then identifying the KPIs. The goal is that these processes can be successfully implemented in their organisation following the workshop.
In-house Key Performance Indicators Workshop
