“What gets measured gets done” If we measure something, we are more likely to do it. This idea is important for people who work in business. They learn that the main problem is not deciding what to measure but figuring out how to measure it. After measuring, they still need to decide how to judge the results (the "metric") and how to track if a new product is successful over time (KPIs). This is a key concern for everyone in business because picking the wrong thing to measure can cause a business to fail.
Welcome to our course on Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and how we use to measure our success in business. Together, we will explore the power of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to propel your business towards its strategic goals with our in-depth course. Designed for those new to the concept, this course demystifies the selection, implementation, and analysis of KPIs as vital tools for gauging and guiding success. By exploring both theory and practical applications, you'll learn to identify crucial KPIs that align with your business objectives, implement them to capture actionable insights, and use this data to make informed strategic decisions. This course is tailored for Business Analysts, Managers, Team Leaders, and anyone interested in performance measurement and strategic planning within a business context. No prior knowledge of KPIs is required, making it accessible to learners from various backgrounds. A basic understanding of business concepts will be beneficial but not mandatory. This course is your first step toward leveraging KPIs to monitor progress, enhance operational efficiency, and achieve your business's strategic aims.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
