eab group launches smartKPIs.com Premium: The “gold standard” in KPI documentation

Melbourne, Australia, 1 Nov 2010- eabgroup announced the launch of smartKPIs Premium, the most comprehensive and well documented selection of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) examples in the world.

smartKPIs.com Premium is available online in the Premium services section of the www.smartKPIs.com platform. It consists of over 1,000 KPI examples preselected by the eab group’s research team as the most relevant for practice across functional areas and industries. They were thoroughly documented in over 30 fields, 10 times more than the number of fields used by most other lists of KPI examples.

While the popularity of KPIs used to guide performance management decisions at strategic, operational and individual level continues to grow, one major issue in their successful deployment is the level of documentation. Simply listing the name of a KPI without thoroughly documenting it hinders its proper understanding and oftentimes generates communication issues. Thoroughly documenting KPIs in a standardised template has become a key success factor in working with KPIs. However, due to time pressures and lack of structure or clarity, oftentimes this step is skipped in the process of establishing KPIs within organisations. smartKPIs.com Premium comes to address this issue by providing a structured template as well as the complete documentation of the fields for the most common KPIs used by businesses. Available both online and in PDF format, these documented KPIs can be adjusted and customised offline to match the specifics of each organisation. The benefit is the readily available template and documented fields that make the customisation much easier compared to starting with a blank page.

smartKPIs.com Premium was developed by a team of experienced researchers and practitioners specialised in organisational performance management and with a wide range of skill sets across business disciplines. It complements the existing database of KPIs available on www.smartKPIs.com which contains over 5,000 KPI examples grouped in a taxonomy of 14 business functional areas, as well as 24 industries that can be accessed by browsing or searching relevant topics.

“Many members of the smartKPIs.com online community asked for more details on the documentation page of each KPI example, possibility to export the data in a print friendly format and the approval to use the data for commercial purposes. smartKPIs Premium responds to these suggestions, ”said Aurel Brudan, founder and director of eab group. “A yearly subscription is charged for accessing the smartKPIs Premium, however access to the database of 5,000 KPI examples and 1,000 examples of performance reports remains free.”
