KPI training and workshops: Why us?
There are plenty of dry academic theory books on KPIs and measures, but few properly structured methods that help you start at the beginning and support you all the way through to effective performance measures that enable your organisation to deliver on its strategic goals.
Do these symptoms sound familiar?
Confusing reports and dashboards
Difficulty in knowing how your organisation is actually performing
Lone-hero attempts to improve measures, that are not adopted or used by the wider organisation
Poorly designed measures which make end-to-end measurements difficult or impossible
KPI, dashboard and report overload
Meetings based on opinion rather than solid data
Our courses are for anyone who...
Needs to translate their strategic objectives into a sensible number of practical and effective KPIs
Is looking for a structured, clear and straightforward-to-follow method for selecting and implementing performance measures
Is looking for practical “In this situation, here’s what you need to do next” advice, supported by step-by-step checklists
Wants to create a common ‘way we do KPIs’ across their organisation
Is looking for a ‘ready to use’ tool kit, including workshop guides, templates and reference manual
Doesn’t like ‘death by PowerPoint’ and benefits from hands-on examples
The core of our workshops - the ROKS™ method....
The workshops are based around the ROKS® - Results Orientated KPI System - developed by Bernie from years of practical hands-on experience and featured in his top-selling book KPI Checklists. The ROKS® gives a structured, repeatable and easy-to-follow method for choosing a sensible number of really effective KPIs to support your organisational goals.
Of course you get much more from the course - carefully structured case studies, a custom high-quality workshop manual and workbook, discussion and the chance to be coached by Bernie, but you can read the book reviews below for yourself and feel comfortable that the approach is sensible and accessible.
The basics of the ROKS® method are in Bernie’s book, KPI Checklists, and here’s what readers thought of that...
“I loved this book. Very clear, simple and easy way to fully implement a KPI system. The book applied lean principles and didn’t leave out the need to assess, improve and manage the data that comprises the KPIs. Simply outstanding!”
By Marcus Jennings on November 28, 2015
“The author picked a brilliant format for this book using checklists. Not a single word of waste, just jam packed with exactly what you need to do, how and when you should do it in order to launch or a improve a system of continual improvement in your business. ... I especially appreciated the attention to detail regarding data gathering steps and the typical issues of getting data for your KPIs (and how to solve them). ..This book has spoiled me in that I will now expect other “how to” books to be as easy to follow and condensed as this one. Job well done.”

YellowBelt KPI Training and Certification
Summary
A one-day session applying the unique and powerful KPI design method, the ‘Results Orientated KPI System’ (ROKS) to KPI selection and design. The session covers all seven steps of the method (from Strategy to KPI Go-live). Each step is introduced, illustrated with real-world stories and anecdotes and supplemented with case studies and exercises.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants a solid end-to-end understanding of the ROKS method. This session is ideal for managers who expect to be closely involved in a KPI implementation project but will not be directly facilitating the hands-on design and development process. No previous KPI knowledge or experience is necessary.
Duration
A full day.
Course outline
Each step of the Results-Orientated KPI System (ROKS) is given a high-level introduction, explained using real-world examples, then reinforced using simple case studies and exercises. The session is highly interactive, including many group-exercises and discussions.
Here’s a summary of the seven steps of the ROKS approach...
Step 1: Strategy
How to simplify and streamline existing strategy documents into a suitable form for effective KPI selection. Learn about the most common strategy pitfalls and how to avoid them. We also cover the ‘Big 6’, an effective tool for organisations that are struggling with their strategy definition.
Step 2: Engagement
Team engagement is the biggest single factor affecting KPI success. We review the three essential elements of engagement and the most common and effective tools for managing engagement.
Step 3: Longlisting (KPI Trees)
The heart of the ROKS method is the KPI Tree methodology. KPI Trees are powerful, easy to understand and visual. They are also a learned skill. This session introduces the 4C method, which makes KPI Tree creation a structured and repeatable process. Software tools and practical design tips are covered as well. Learn how KPI Tree workshops can build engagement, agreement and highlight hidden KPI risks. Feedback shows that people derive huge insight from the KPI trees they build.
Step 4: Shortlisting
The biggest practical issue organisations face with their KPIs is too many KPIs. The shortlisting step introduces a structured, repeatable and visual method for selecting only the most appropriate KPIs. This step also enables the organisation to identify high-value KPIs that are not yet practical but might be business-changing if implemented.
Step 5: Definition
A crucial step for success, but one that is often skipped over. In this section, some of the risks are highlighted using hair-raising true stories and we introduce the ROKS KPI Canvas tool.
Step 6: Prototyping
KPIs communicate through dashboards and reports. This step introduces the visual design principles developed by the likes of Edward Tufte and Stephen Few and shows how to apply them to your reporting documents. We also cover strategies for minimising the number of design revisions and changes to report designs.
Step 7: Go-live
Nothing we do counts unless we implement. This step covers effective implementation tools and methods, the most common practical problems and strategies for tackling those issues.
The foundation of ‘ROKS KPI Practitioner’ certification, this is a three-day in-depth KPI training workshop. We cover the seven steps of the ROKS method in detail, using case studies, games and real-world stories. There is a strong focus on developing and refining the core skills required for successful implementation. In addition to the core ROKS steps, we explore process measures, ‘Index KPIs’ (using the EPIK approach) and ‘Impossible to measure’ KPIs (using proxies and Fermi decompositions).
Who is it for?
Designed for those who will need to lead or deliver KPI design, improvement or implementation projects for their organisations or clients.
No previous KPI knowledge or experience is assumed, although the session targets those involved in performance measurement, reporting or process improvement as their primary activity.
Duration
Three days.
Course outline
Days 1 and 2
The first two days cover the same ROKS steps as the one-day YellowBelt session, but in much more depth, additional case studies, exercises and discussion.
Step 1: Strategy
How to simplify and streamline existing strategy documents into a suitable form for effective KPI selection. Learn about the most common strategy pitfalls and how to avoid them. We also cover the ‘Big 6’, an effective tool for organisations that are struggling with their strategy definition.

Step 7: Go-live
Nothing we do counts unless we implement. This step covers effective implementation tools and methods, the most common practical problems and strategies for tackling those issues.
Day 3
Process measures
Many KPIs are intended to measure processes. KPI Trees will help us identify the right measures, but we also need to understand how and where we should measure process performance. This module covers: how to set up and run a process KPI workshop, the right questions to ask and the best way to support process improvement work activity.
Index KPIs
A regular management request is to represent complex reporting situations as simply as possible. Index KPIs, can be a useful solution to this problem. ‘Index KPIs’ can be a fantastic solution, but they also come with severe hidden risks. This module introduces the seven-step EPIK methodology for building reliable Index KPIs. Each step is illustrated with a worked example and a case study exercise for the delegates. Practical strategies for identifying and minimising the risks inherent with Index KPIs are also covered.
Measuring the ‘Impossible’
Many of the most exciting potential KPIs may seem to be hard, or even impossible to measure. Using two effective strategies, almost anything becomes measurable. Learn the techniques that allowed a pension firm to predict when a customer was intending to leave, how much a Blue Whale eats and how a supermarket figured out if a family shops at more than one supermarket.
OKRs, KPIs and KPI Trees and how to combine them
KPI Trees focus entirely on measuring strategic outcomes. OKRs are a powerful management tool for structuring objectives and key results. OKRs require strategic objectives be aligned throughout the organisation, yet none of the available materials show thre reader how to do this. This module shows you how to combine both methods for a hugely powerful hybrid approach - develop meaningful KPIs and integrate that approach with clear, structured objectives, milestones and actions.

Day 4
Trending and Control Charts
All processes vary naturally. This is called ‘process noise’. How do you know that a chart that increases is really showing improvement and isn’t just showing natural variation? In this module we carefully dissect one shocking example. Control charts, specifically XMR/IMR charts, offer a mathematically valid solution to this problem. We cover both the theory of XMR/IMR charts and hands-on physical simulation.
Day 5
Full end-to-end case study
KPI development is a practical field, not an academic one. The best way to master the ROKS process is to use it. In this module, we choose one of three carefully-designed case studies to walk through each step of the ROKS process in the best simulation, outside of applying it to a live business.

Turning Data Into Knowledge: Control Charts for KPIs
Summary
The most commonly used trending and curve fitting tools can give a completely misleading picture of actual performance. Using statistical techniques, learn how we can reliably separate real performance change from natural process variation. The XmR/ImR approach enables us to provide sound management advice based on statistical confidence, not gut feel or flawed trending tools. This course takes a potentially dry topic and brings it to life with down-to-earth case studies and plenty of practical activities.
Who is it for?
Measurement professionals who produce critical reports on which major decisions are based.
Course outline:
The pitfalls of the most commonly used trending and fit tools for analysis
A practical introduction to control charts, specifically ImR/XmR charts, and their application to management reporting with plenty of worked examples
Choosing a small selection of meaningful KPIs can be difficult, time-consuming and very emotive. The KPI Tree approach, the ‘heart of the ROKS method’, was developed by Bernie to enable a structured, visual and repeatable method for developing a suite of KPIs that link directly and visually to your organisation’s strategic objectives.
In this workshop you are taken through the fundamental principles of KPI Trees, the ‘4Cs’ method for building them and the practicalities of building them.
Type of course
Mixture of theory and practice. Focus on practical skills and application throughout, using carefully graded case studies. Also includes custom-designed group exercises to reinforce the concepts.

Performance Index Design
Summary
It is common to need to distil a complex organisational situation down to a simple message or score. Performance indexes are an effective way to achieve this goal, but they need to be built in a structured way to ensure they are reliable and trustworthy.
This course is based on the 7-step EPIK Design System, an approach specifically designed to guide you to robust, reliable and useful Performance Indexes as quickly as possible.
Type of course
Mixture of theory and practice. Focus on practical skills and application in second half of the workshop. Plenty of case study exercises to complete and keep as reference material when participants develop their own performance index KPIs.
Who is it for?
Analysts and management information professionals who need to...
Offer ‘at a glance’ insight of a complex situation
Develop index measures that are transparent and balanced
Implement performance indexes that are fully tested, documented and trusted

Efficiency, productivity, capacity, utilisation and yield are key concepts in Lean Six Sigma deployments. Whilst the measures themselves are fairly simple to explain, applying them can be much more complicated. In this course Bernie takes the group through each of the core measures that will be needed, giving very practical advice on how to implement them successfully and the pitfalls to be avoided.
Type of course
A technical and practical course. The course is based on case studies and practical skills.
Who is it for?
Line managers and SMEs who need a deep understanding of operational measurement methods. Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma is an advantage, basic numeracy essential, but no specific technical knowledge is required.

The power of OKRs and KPI Trees
Summary
KPI Trees are the best way to choose your KPIs. OKRs are the powerful goal setting and measurement tool used by Google, Intel and the Gates Foundation. How do you harness the benefits of both to build logical KPIs and integrate OKRs into your business? They work together astonishingly well. This workshop shows you when to use each tool and how to integrate them.
Type of course
Mixture of theory and practice. Focus on practical skills and application throughout, using carefully graded case studies. Also includes custom-designed group exercises to reinforce the concepts.
The day is split into three sections: KPI Tree introduction, OKR introduction and, finally, integrating the methodologies for maximum benefit.
Who is it for?
Managers or management information professionals looking to build a performance measurement and management system using both OKRs and KPI Trees. By the end of the day you will have a good grounding in both approaches and should be able to develop implementation plans for your organisation.

Custom Workshops
Custom In-House Workshops
Every organisation is different. Often there are several programmes in flight at the same time, leading to a need to mesh things together.
If you need to integrate KPI training with an improvement programme, new ways of working or major organisational change, we can customise the training to meet your needs. As we own the rights to all of our methodology and materials, any level of customisation is possible.
If you would like any of material customising for your in-house needs, just get in touch to find out how we can help.
Hybrid Workshops
Hybrid workshops are sessions where excellent training is mixed in with the development of your organisation’s real-world KPIs. In these sessions, we replace the standard case studies with exercises that are directly relevant to your business.Not only does this increase the relevance of the sessions, but it also gives your team a flying start in the application of the ROKS tools and techniques.
The hybrid approach leads to exceptional levels of participant engagement and rapid progress towards your KPI goals.
Every hybrid workshop is different, tailored to your specific needs. Get in touch to discuss how we can build a plan that is perfect for your needs.
