Navigating KRIs

A Deep Dive Into Key Risk Indicators

 

Design measures that transform your organisation into an uber adaptive one by getting early warnings on key risks many times earlier than with standard KRIs

What you will learn

  1. The role KRIs play in business decision making.
  2. An appreciation of the dos and don’ts of KRIs to ensure validity.
  3. How you can utilise KRIs to add value to the business.

Having responsibility for producing KRIs can be a burden. There is no standard or rule book to follow. Irrespective, you are expected to deliver early warnings for the Board and Executive.

Mundane KRIs are as easy to find as risks. You just have to do some brainstorming. What you end up with is a long list of mediocre measures that turns KRI production into an industry.

Invaluable KRIs are much harder to find, design and implement than most people understand. But they are the ones that transform organisations because of the early warning they deliver.

This course will provide you with a much deeper understanding of what good KRIs look like and where to source them.  In particular for non-financial risks which many find hard to measure.

Most importantly, you will work through a practical case study of historical significance, all the way through to having critical conversations with the business on the value and implications of invaluable KRIs.

Measures that Transform

Think about it as the doomsday clock. You want much earlier warning than a few minutes to midnight.

The result is easier and less costly actions to mitigate risk and take opportunities.
