KPIs are designed to measure success – but what if they mislead rather than inform?In Episode 5 of Managing High-Stress Projects Q&A, I had a thought-provoking discussion with Tom Witterholt on why KPIs often fail and how leaders can avoid common measurement mistakes.
💡 Key Takeaways from Our Discussion:
✔ KPIs are rarely perfect on the first attempt – continuous refinement is critical
✔ Unexpected results? They might highlight real performance issues or flawed metrics
✔ Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data – choosing the right measurement approach is key
✔ Hidden factors matter – some root causes go beyond surface-level indicators
✔ Bad KPIs exist – some metrics may be impractical, misleading, or unmeasurable
