Too Many KPIs
Measures accumulate over time without a disciplined process for retiring those that no longer influence decisions.
Consulting Support · KPI Architecture & Analytics
Transform KPI Reporting Into a Management System.
Work side-by-side with a hands-on Presto consultant to review, rationalize and rebuild your KPI portfolio, then establish the data capture, Bowler reporting and governance rhythm that turns performance into action.
A smaller, stronger KPI portfolio that people actually feed and leaders actually use to run the business.
Strategy → KPI Architecture → Data Capture → Bowler Reporting → Root Cause → Management Governance
When the KPI Estate Is a Mess
Don't Add Another Dashboard. Fix the Architecture Underneath It.
Most organizations already have KPIs. The problem is often duplication, weak definitions, too many low-value measures, inconsistent ownership and reports that are disconnected from the decisions leadership needs to make.
Weak Strategic Alignment
Teams report what is easy to measure rather than what best reflects strategic and operational priorities.
Fragmented Data Capture
Spreadsheets, emails and offline trackers make performance reporting slow, inconsistent and difficult to govern.
Reporting Without Action
Management reviews results but lacks a repeatable routine for root cause, corrective action and follow-through.
Extremely Hands-On Consulting
We Don't Just Recommend the KPI Architecture. We Help Build It.
The starting point depends on the client. When an existing KPI portfolio is available, the consultant can review it measure by measure, archive what no longer adds value, identify gaps and progressively align the remaining portfolio to the organization's strategy.
Where information is incomplete, we work with the resources the client can make available and use leadership workshops, existing reports and operational knowledge to fill the gaps.
Review and catalogue the existing KPI estate
Group and categorize KPIs using Balanced Scorecard logic
Recommend removal or consolidation of low-impact measures
Propose new lead and lag KPIs where gaps exist
Define ownership, targets, cadence and reporting expectations
Configure the agreed KPI system in Presto
Architecture That Management Can Use
Build the Measures Around the Decisions Leaders Need to Make.
We use the frameworks that best fit the client's operating model rather than forcing every organization into the same template.
Balanced Scorecard
Balance the KPI portfolio across the dimensions that matter to the organization and expose over- or under-measured areas.
Lead & Lag Measures
Combine outcome measures with indicators that help leaders intervene before performance is already lost.
SQDC / SQPDC
Structure operational reporting around Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and Productivity where appropriate.
Hoshin Alignment
Connect the KPI architecture to annual goals and strategic initiatives when the engagement includes strategy deployment.
Ownership & Governance
Clarify who owns, feeds, reviews and acts on each KPI instead of leaving accountability implicit.
Cadence by Design
Choose daily, weekly or monthly reporting frequencies based on how quickly management can and should respond.
Presto 90-Day KPI Jump Start
Move From KPI Cleanup to a Working Governance Rhythm.
This specialist Jump Start is tailored around the KPI and performance-management challenge you need to solve. A Presto consultant works with the C-Suite or a nominated governance committee to diagnose the current KPI estate, design the target architecture, configure it in Presto and embed a management cadence around real data.
Review & Rationalize
- Gather the existing KPI estate and available management reports
- Review, categorize and archive weak or redundant KPIs
- Identify strategic and operational measurement gaps
- Agree the initial governance committee and decision priorities
Architect & Connect
- Propose the streamlined KPI portfolio
- Set definitions, targets, owners and reporting cadence
- Configure KPI structures and management reports in Presto
- Activate KPIConnect© for the staff responsible for feeding results
Govern & Improve
- Run the fixed weekly or daily performance review
- Review Bowler Charts and drill into Pareto/root causes
- Assign corrective actions for the next cycle
- Review closed actions and refine the KPI portfolio as learning grows
Make the Data Collection Sustainable
1Connect users feed the result. Staff capture KPI data against the correct reporting period without needing full Presto training.
2The Bowler becomes the management view. Results, targets, trends and root-cause counts are reviewed side-by-side.
3Pareto focuses the discussion. Leaders drill into the few causes driving the largest share of the problem.
4Corrective actions close the loop. Actions are assigned, governed and reviewed at the next fixed meeting cadence.
Move KPI Reporting Out of the Spreadsheet Chase.
The architecture only works when reliable data arrives on time. The consultant helps establish KPIConnect© as the human-input mechanism so staff responsible for the information can feed results directly into the governed KPI system.
That allows management to spend less time collecting numbers and more time reviewing performance, understanding causes and agreeing what happens next.
The Real Deliverable
A Weekly Management Routine That Turns Performance Into Action.
The goal is not simply to leave the client with a redesigned KPI list. The stronger outcome is a repeatable daily or weekly governance process that business leaders use to run the organization.
Fixed Governance Cadence
01
Review this period's Bowler results against target.
02
Open Pareto where performance requires deeper analysis.
03
Agree and assign corrective actions for the next cycle.
04
Review actions due or closed since the previous meeting.
05
Refine measures as the management team learns what drives performance.
What Success Looks Like
From a KPI Library to a Governed Performance System.
Fewer, better KPIs focused on the measures leadership can actually use.
Defined owners, feeders, targets, reporting periods and governance expectations.
KPIConnect© helps staff feed the system on the cadence management requires.
Bowler and Pareto create a common performance language across teams and sites.
Underperformance is translated into owned actions and reviewed at the next governance cycle.
