Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a KPI and an OKR?
A KPI measures ongoing performance against a target, such as on-time delivery or cost per transaction. An OKR sets an ambitious objective for a period and two to five key results that show whether it was reached. Many GCC entities use KPIs to run the organisation and OKRs to drive change.
Is this the same as employee performance management?
No. These courses cover organisational performance: strategy, objectives and KPIs for the entity and its departments. Appraisals, competencies and individual goals are covered in our HR courses.
Do I need a planning background?
No. Courses start from the planning cycle itself and use worked examples, so they suit new strategy staff as well as experienced planners.
