An organization’s limited personnel resources necessitates that its business performance assessments be performed in the most efficient manner possible.

Organizations today seem to have a never ending supply of performance measures. Our data rich environment feeds the need of many managers to have all things counted.

The identification of performance measures should therefore start with the identification of the key factors critical to the organization’s success.
