It’s interesting how many companies use the same KPI’s to manage their business yet fail to substantially differentiate themselves through targets.

I laugh when I’m asked, “All companies are using the same stuff, so how are we any different?” I respond by saying, “What separates us from the others is not where we are, or where we’ve been, but where we’re going?”

I like to use SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely – coupled with accountability to Planned versus Actual results.
