Don't only ask:
"Did we hit the number?"

How did we hit it?
What did it cost?
Can we repeat it?
Was it sustainable?
That's where the better conversation begins.

New month.
New quarter.
Same question:

Sometimes the problem isn't poor performance.
It's inconsistent performance.
A team that produces exceptional results one month and struggles the next deserves a different question:
What's causing the variation?
#GoAnalytics #PerformanceAnalytics #BusinessStrategy

Interesting Fact:
Two departments can hit the exact same target while taking completely different paths to get there.
The final number tells you who arrived.
The underlying data tells you how.

Interesting Fact:
A KPI should help someone make a decision.
If nobody takes action when the number changes, ask whether it truly deserves to be called "key." #AnalyticsFact #KPIs #GoAnalytics #PerformanceAnalytics
