Imagine that you have to estimate typical family spending's. You can take
into account countless number of factors…..
17
…or you can limit yourself to the most important ones i.e. number of kids,
size of house, main repetitive spending like food.

What is a good KPI?
95
What is a good KPI –
Introduction
96
In this section we will talk about the following issues
The definition of a good KPI Vanity Metrics SMART KPIs
Alignement of KPIs Cascading KPIs Leading vs Lagging KPIs
Input KPIs vs Output KPIs Proxy KPIs
How to set the value for
KPIs
97
The definition of a good KPI
98
A good KPIs has certain characteristics
It’s not vanity metric
It’s SMART
Assigned to specific person
or a team
You use it to manage /
motivate and take
decisions
KPIs are alligned in the
organization with main
business goals
You report and analyze it
on regular basis
Influence your bonus
The person knows the KPI
and can influence it
99
Vanity metrics
100
Vanity metrics are extremely dangeours for your business
 Metrics designed to be impressive yet not
actionable or relevant to the goal of the business.
 Can be easily manipulated
 Don’t move your business into the right direction /
you are wasting your effort on the wrong things
Vanity metrics =
101
Let’s have a look at 2 examples
Vanity
Metrics
 # of followers
Facebook page
 # of total customers
SaaS business
Better
Metrics
 Engagemnet Level i.e. Counted as a sum of
likes, comments, shares, other reaction
 Engagement rate = Engagement level / # of
followers
 Net gained customers for a given period (# of
customers gained - # of customer lost)
 % Growth of net customers = Net gained
customers / # of customers at the begining of
the period

SMART KPIs – Introduction
103
As we said the KPIs have to be S.M.A.R.T. We will explain what it means
in practice in the next lectures
SMART goals

Set SMART goals
105
S
M
A
R
T
Specific – target a specific area for improvement
Measurable – it has to be quantifiable; you have to have a way of measuring it
Assignable – it says who will do it
Realistic – it can be delivered
Time-related – it says when it has do be delivered / by which dates
The SMAR formula translates to 5 rules you should use when
defining the goals
106
Goals for ordinary tasks Goals for skills
 Avoid vague tasks
 Always for projects set deliverables, dates and
responsible persons
 Merge the task with the goal on the to-do list and set
the right pace to a achieve the goal within the defined
time
 Set goals for improving your skills
 Set goals for learning new things
 Set goals for making the repetitive things faster and
better
SMART goals should be set for the task but also for skills
107
Imagine that you want to write a book. Let’s translate it into
task with SMART goals
Imagine that you
want to write a book
Define the size
of the book and
deadline
Divided into
small tasks
Make the tasks
SMART
Set the pace and
execute
 200 pages
 1 page = 800
characters
 Time= 1 year
 Write pages  Write 1 page
every day
 Measure every
week completion
rate against the
target (1
page/day=7
pages/week)
 If necessary act
to keep the pace
108
By comparing your results and benchmarks you can decide
what to improve, work on

T
Specific – target a specific area for improvement
Measurable – it has to be quantifiable; you have to have a way of measuring it
Assignable – it says who will do it
Realistic – it can be delivered
Time-related – it says when it has do be delivered / by which dates
As we previously said the SMART rule is not only great for goals
setting but also for defining KPIs
112
S
M
A
R
T
 Specific – targets a specific area, is well defined (by some formula), we know what is the
source of data for calculation and who will calculate it. We specify the units and dimensions
of KPI
 Measurable – it has to be quantifiable; you have to have a way of measuring it preferably
described with a mathematical formula
 Assignable – it says who is responsible for delivering the results that the KPI describes. This
person / team can impact the level of KPIs – has the power and resources to do that
 Realistic – it can be delivered
 Relevant – it is linked to the main goals of the business
 Time-related – it says for which period it is calculated, when it has do be calculated/ by
which dates
Let’s first modify a little bit the definition

 Assignable
 Realistic

 Time-related
Let’s first modify a little bit the definition
Churn Rate
 Churn rate on revenues, calculated by Baremetrics using our financial data at the
end of every month
 Calculated in percentage in reference to the revenues from the previous period
 Expressed in percentage
(Net revenue from new customers+ Net additional revenue from current
customers i.e. from upgrades – Net revenue lost due to the loss of customer)
Net revenue from the previous period
 Responsible for the level of the churn rate is the Growth Team that is responsible
not only for acquisition but also retention
 The main goal of the firm is the EBITDA that heavily depends on churn rate. The
smaller the churn rate the bigger the EBITDA
 The churn rate can be calculated automatically on daily basis
115
Alignment of KPIs – Introduction
116
Alignment is extremely important. Here we will discuss what it is
 Alignment is arrangement in a straight line, or in correct
relative positions
 For business it means that the goals are connected in the
proper manner and actions are coordinated
 For a KPI it means that it is aligned with strategy /
strategic goals. Such a KPI shows you whether you are
closer to archiving those goals
 KPIs should be also aligned between each other
Alignment of KPIs =

When you look at the structure you have delegation of work and
cascading of responsibility. In the same way you have to define KPIs

Imagine now that you were to define the KPIs for the Operations
department
You have the KPIs for

Leading vs Lagging KPIs
133
Lagging KPIs Leading KPIs
 Based on historical data  Uses early signs to estimate the direction of certain
phenomena ahead of time
When it comes to the ability to act upon KPIs we can divide
them into 2 groups:
 Can be exactly calculated  Only allows for rough estimation
 Quite often you use so called proxy metrics / KPIs – you
cannot measure something ahead of time so you look
for things link to the main phenomena or causing /
predicting the phenomena
 If the KPIs is falling below the target you notice it only
after some times – you react after the damage has been
done
 Leading KPIs enable you to “predict” potential future
and act immediately – part of the damage can be
reverted
 Gives you warning and time to react
134
Lagging KPIs Leading KPIs
 Churn rate in SaaS – percentage of people not renewing
their contract with us
 Engagement Rate – how often he uses the SaaS, how
many minutes he uses the product
Let’s look at some examples
 Money earned by the movie in the first month  Early screening results – it can be for example NPS of
people who saw the movie during early screening or
average rating give by them or probability of them going
to see the movie for the second time
 Money earned by a new product  Results from presale
 Number of people that signed for the waiting list
135
Input vs Output KPIs
136
Input KPIsOutput KPIs
 Measures the effort that drives the result / output Measures the output and does not take into account the
effort. The output may be a result of random things outside
of the control of the person responsible for the KPI
You can divide KPIs also into 2 other groups: Output KPIs and
Input KPIs
 Since it measure effort it is more actionable. You know
what to do
 Gives you suggestion whether you should act or not but
does not tell you in what way. You know that there is a
problem but you don’t know how to solve it
 Usually Leading KPI Lagging KPI
137
Output KPIs Input KPIs
 Sales achieved – how much specific person or team
sold during specific period
 # of customer approached – how many potential
customer you have contacted
 Pipeline value – the value of all potential contracts
Let’s have a look at some examples
 # of recruited consultants  # of CV gathered
 # of meetings set up with potential candidates
 # of books sold during first 3 months  # of reviews / blog posts / YouTube movies created
on the book before the launch
 # of interviews given
 # of bloggers / reviewers / YouTubers / journalist
contacted with the information about the book

138
Proxy KPIs
139
Proxy KPIs
 Net Promoter Score (NPS) – you calculate what percentage of people where happy with
the product (Promoters) and what percentage were not happy (Detractors). NPS = % of
Promoters - % of Detractors
 Average review on Yelp / Facebook
Quite often you cannot measure something important. In such cases
you have to look for Proxy KPI
 Sales per 1 person from HQ in comparison with competition and previous periods
 Overall Labor Efficiency (OLE) – measures what percentage of available time is spent on
works
 Place in a ranking of employers from your category
 NPS from internal survey among employees
 Turnover rate – % of people that left the job during the year
 Retention level of “stars”
Happiness of
customers
Efficiency of people in

employer you are

Main challenges
For the online models apart from the Excel model I will discuss
Examples of businesses
Logic flow of customers
157
As said we will start with Restaurant business model that is a an example of a
B2C business model. So we will first explain this general model
Restaurant Business Model
E-commerce Business
Model
Consulting Business Model
SaaS Business Model
158
Main challenges in B2C
Services
159
We can be talking about 3 different models here
Services performed at specialized
place no production involved
Services performed at customer
place
Services performed at specialized
place with some production
160
Now let’s move on to 2nd group – services with some production
Services performed at specialized
place no production involved
Services performed at customer
place
Services performed at specialized
place with some production
161
The 2nd type of services (restaurant chains) have to face the
following challenges
Location
Minimizing and
Managing Fixed Costs
Optimizing Capex
Seasonality of
Demand
Upsell and cross-sell
Standardization of
services
Queue ManagementPrice Discrimination
Capacity
management
People rotation and

Restaurant model in Excel
163
When you want to set up a restaurant you have to not only face the
monthly recurring costs but also invest a huge amount of money into the
place
164
Have a look what you will spend your money on long before
opening of the restaurant
Purchase of the place
FurnitureDesign
Kitchen equipemt
Domestic
Appliances
Computer, cash
till, POS
Uniforms for
employees
165
There are plenty of monthly costs that have to be paid every
month
Food and
drinks
Utilities (water,
electricity, gas, waste)
Stock
Rental of the place
Services i.e.
book-keeping
Cleaning costs
Personel
166
Remember that apart from current costs you usually froze a lot
of cash in the stock
167

Introduction to e-commerce
172
In e-commerce you will have 3 types of players depending on
their presence in off-line and their approach to both channels
E-commerce
Pure players
Off-line players with
separate on-line presence
Multichannel /Omni
players
173
Customer behaviors has huge impact on the business model and
on what the e-commerce should concentrate on
 Less than 40% of the buyers will buy this year
 Focus is on customer acquisition
 Loyalty program are not good investment
 70% of e-commerce businesses are in this model
Acquisition
mode
Description of the business model Examples
 E-commerce selling only 1 type of Slow Moving
Consumer Goods (SMCG) bought infrequently i.e.
vacuum cleaner, scuba diving, furniture
 E-commerce for 1-time in the life event: strollers,
 40%-60% of the buyers will buy this year
 You have a nice mix of new and returning customers
 Focus is on customer acquisition as well increasing the
value of the customer (increased frequency and
increased purchase per visit)
Hybrid mode
 E-commerce that sells SMCG with relatively big
frequency of purchase(1.0-2.5 times a year ) i.e.
shoes (Zappos)
 More than 60% of the buyers will buy this year
 Focus is on increasing the value of the customer
(increased frequency and increased purchase per visit)
 10% of businesses are in this model
Loyalty mode
 Very strong brands with high frequency of
purchase (i.e. Zara, Amazon)
 Marketplaces i.e. Udemy, Uber

How to use KPIs to manage–
Introduction
190
Management consultants are brutally efficient
KPIs give you great basis to properly allocate your attention
and money and get the best results from your business
191
In this section I will show you how to manage a business using KPIs.
Before moving to cases I will have to introduce 3 concepts
Backward logic Benchmarks Comparison metrics
192
Backward reasoning
193
Imagine that you were supposed to say how much you have to
spend to create a company that has revenue of $ 100 M dollar
Imagine that you were supposed to say how much you have to

Why you need benchmarks?
199
There are 2 types of benchmarks
Internal External
 Based on previous execution
 Extremely comparable
 Very reliable
 Detailed – can be put for each and every activity
 Based on some external source (i.e. reports)
 Not that easily comparable
 They to be treated with caution
 Only for chosen amount of activities
 Can give you food for drastic improvements - by
analyzing them you can find totally different
method of working
200
By comparing your results and benchmarks you can decide
what to improve, work on
Internal
 Salary
 Speed of typing
 Speed of
analyzing Excel

 Your salary went up in
comparison with your previous
one but you are still below the
market
 Your typing speed has improved
slightly yet you are far below the
speed achieved by others
 You not only improved your speed
of analyzing but also are better
than others
 Makes sense to teach others how
to do it
Conclusions
201
Comparison metrics
202
I recommend in comparing yourself to competition to use 5 dimensions
Size
Profitability
Pace of growth
Cash
generation
Debt level
 Revenues, market share, quantity sold
 % EBITDA, % EBIT, ROA
 Growth of revenues, growth of quantity sold, opened new stores
 Cash to EBITDA ratio, Cash position, Net Debt
 Debt to EBITDA ratio

How to use KPIs to motivate
– Introduction
208
Management consultants are brutally efficient
Managing people is much easier if you set them
targets. The easiest way to do that is via well defined
KPIs that are part of bonus / motivation system
209
There are a few good reasons why using KPIs to motivate people makes
sense
KPIs gives you measurable
target
If you can impact the value
of KPI, the target based on
the KPI gives you clear
guidance what to do
You can compare different
people / teams / business
You can track the KPIs and
the performance of the
person over time
You can link the KPIs to
business goals and in this
way give people impact on
the business
210
Where you should put KPIs to
motivate people
211
There are plenty of places in which you should put KPIs to motivate
people
Bonus / motivation system
Rankings visible to everybody
Online dashboard
Offline dashboard
Mention in written form i.e.
weekly reports send to people
Mention during meetings i.e.
daily or weekly overview

How to analyze the motivation system
of sales force – Solution
221
If the Person A has the following motivation system you can have the
following problems
Variable part 10%Fixed part 90%
Salary Problems that may occur
 Variable part is too small
 The sales rep will not be motivated to drive
the sales and put additional effort
222
If the Person B has the following motivation system you can have the
following problems
Sales value plan
realization
90%
Qualitative
assessment
10%
Variable part 20%Fixed part 80%
Salary
 Sales rep can change the price
of the product and give
discounts
Problems that may occur
 Majority of the variable part depends on
sales value which is not preferable solution
as this does not drive the margin creation
 The sales rep has a control over the price
and discounts so he will be tempted to
increase discounts to get more sales. In this
way he will hurt total margin
223
If the Person C has the following motivation system you can have the
following problems
Sales margin
realization
80%
Qualitative
assessment
20%
Variable part 20%Fixed part 80%
Salary
 All costs covered by the sales
rep
Problems that may occur
 In this example we have margins instead of sales
value which is much better solution
 However, all cost are covered by the sales rep
which may lead the sale rep to minimize his
expenditure rather than to maximize the margin
for the company
224
Person D has the following motivation system. What kind of problems
it may cause?
% of sales n/a
Fixed part =2x
Average salary
n/a
Salary Problems that may occur
 The fixed part may be big enough for the sales
rep not to care too much about the sales level
 His variable part is just a percentage of sales .
Due to this there is a great probability that he
will not care about the margin
 Moreover, there is no plan of sales / margin so
he will work only as much as he needs to cover
his expenses

How can bad KPIs in production cause
troubles – Problem
231
The aim of the company is to
maximize EBITDA
Production is judged against 1 KPI –
Production cost per unit
Imagine that you are working for a ceramic tiles producer that wants you
to tell them whether new motivation system for production is a good idea

How can bad KPIs in production cause
troubles – Solution
233
The aim of the company is to
maximize EBITDA
Production is judged against 1 KPI –
Production cost per unit
Imagine that you are working for a ceramic tiles producer that wants you
to tell them whether new motivation system for production is a good idea
234
Below certain things that you might have noticed with regard to the
proposed motivation system
Low unit production costs has nothing
to do with EBITDA
You are incentivized to produce more
rather than to produce the right things
There is no incentive to produce
difficult things
There is no incentive to produce high
margin products
Cost may be cut by lowering the
quality of the materials used
You may create a big inventory of
finished products
You end-up producing easy things that
maybe are not desired
You are not incentivized to keep WIP
and inventory low
235

Let’s imagine that you were asked to judge the motivation system
created for Board Members of a cosmetics producer
3 Business Goals: market
cap, cash flow, Low debt
5 Board Members
The Supervisory Boards sets
the KPIs & goals
237
Let’s see at KPIs for the board of Directors

Marketing Director 1 R&D Director 1 COO 1
 Sales Value  Sales Value
 Market Share
 # of products introduced  Cost per unit
 Market Capitalization

Board of directors motivation system
– Solution
239
Just as a reminder you were asked to judge the motivation system
created for Board Members of a cosmetics producer
3 Business Goals: market
cap, cash flow, Low debt
5 Board Members
The Supervisory Boards sets
the KPIs & goals
240
Every board member had different KPIs in his motivation system
Sales Director 1
CEO
Marketing Director 1 R&D Director 1 COO 1
 Sales Value  Sales Value
 Market Share
 # of products introduced  Cost per unit
 Market Capitalization
241
Below certain things that you might have noticed with regard to the
proposed motivation system
Hardly any alignment
Some business goals not
addressed
Almost every board member is
incentivized to destroy value
KPIs are relatively vague
There are hardly any long-term
KPIs
Board member treated as a
separate entities
242
Now let’s have a look in details what kind of troubles it may cause
Sales Director 1
CEO
Marketing Director 1 R&D Director 1 COO 1
 Sales Value  Sales Value
 Market Share
 # of products introduced  Cost per unit
 Market Capitalization
Market Capitalization
Operational Cash flow

  • 102. 102 SMART KPIs – Introduction
  • 103. 103 As we said the KPIs have to be S.M.A.R.T. We will explain what it means in practice in the next lectures SMART goals How to apply SMART methodology to KPIs – general rules How to apply SMART methodology to KPIs – example
  • 105. 105 S M A R T Specific – target a specific area for improvement Measurable – it has to be quantifiable; you have to have a way of measuring it Assignable – it says who will do it Realistic – it can be delivered Time-related – it says when it has do be delivered / by which dates The SMAR formula translates to 5 rules you should use when defining the goals
  • 106. 106 Goals for ordinary tasks Goals for skills  Avoid vague tasks  Always for projects set deliverables, dates and responsible persons  Merge the task with the goal on the to-do list and set the right pace to a achieve the goal within the defined time  Set goals for improving your skills  Set goals for learning new things  Set goals for making the repetitive things faster and better SMART goals should be set for the task but also for skills
  • 107. 107 Imagine that you want to write a book. Let’s translate it into task with SMART goals Imagine that you want to write a book Define the size of the book and deadline Divided into small tasks Make the tasks SMART Set the pace and execute  200 pages  1 page = 800 characters  Time= 1 year  Write pages  Write 1 page every day  Measure every week completion rate against the target (1 page/day=7 pages/week)  If necessary act to keep the pace
  • 108. 108 By comparing your results and benchmarks you can decide what to improve, work on Internal  Learn Spanish  Speed of typing Area Unit Current result  Level  words/ minute  0  40 n/a 39 External Intermediate 80  Sing-in the course  Listen to Spanish TV 30 minutes every day  Enroll into a on-line course  Devote 15 minutes every day to training Target  Intermediate in 2 years  Achieve 60 words/minute In 3 months Actions

  • 110. 110 SMART KPIs – General definition
  • 111. 111 S M A R T Specific – target a specific area for improvement Measurable – it has to be quantifiable; you have to have a way of measuring it Assignable – it says who will do it Realistic – it can be delivered Time-related – it says when it has do be delivered / by which dates As we previously said the SMART rule is not only great for goals setting but also for defining KPIs
  • 112. 112 S M A R T  Specific – targets a specific area, is well defined (by some formula), we know what is the source of data for calculation and who will calculate it. We specify the units and dimensions of KPI  Measurable – it has to be quantifiable; you have to have a way of measuring it preferably described with a mathematical formula  Assignable – it says who is responsible for delivering the results that the KPI describes. This person / team can impact the level of KPIs – has the power and resources to do that  Realistic – it can be delivered  Relevant – it is linked to the main goals of the business  Time-related – it says for which period it is calculated, when it has do be calculated/ by which dates Let’s first modify a little bit the definition
  • 113. 113 SMART KPIs – example
  • 114. 114 S M A R T  Specific  Measurable  Assignable  Realistic Relevant  Time-related Let’s first modify a little bit the definition Churn Rate  Churn rate on revenues, calculated by Baremetrics using our financial data at the end of every month  Calculated in percentage in reference to the revenues from the previous period  Expressed in percentage (Net revenue from new customers+ Net additional revenue from current customers i.e. from upgrades – Net revenue lost due to the loss of customer) Net revenue from the previous period  Responsible for the level of the churn rate is the Growth Team that is responsible not only for acquisition but also retention  The main goal of the firm is the EBITDA that heavily depends on churn rate. The smaller the churn rate the bigger the EBITDA  The churn rate can be calculated automatically on daily basis
  • 115. 115 Alignment of KPIs – Introduction
  • 116. 116 Alignment is extremely important. Here we will discuss what it is  Alignment is arrangement in a straight line, or in correct relative positions  For business it means that the goals are connected in the proper manner and actions are coordinated  For a KPI it means that it is aligned with strategy / strategic goals. Such a KPI shows you whether you are closer to archiving those goals  KPIs should be also aligned between each other Alignment of KPIs =
