Introduction

Key performance indicators (KPI) are measures by which the organization can judge its most critical aspects of organizational performance, and subsequently choose how to increase this performance (Star et al. 2016, p. 151). KPIs are non-financial, they are frequently measured, decided by the CEO and the higher-level management, require an understanding by the staff, provide responsibility, can significantly impact the organization, and have a positive effect on other measures. This paper will provide a table of functional areas and the KPIs that apply to them (Parmenter, p. 101).
