Operational KPI Dashboards and Performance Management for Operations

Operations teams across Africa often drown in data yet lack the few measures that would actually guide daily decisions. This course helps teams choose the right operational indicators, present them on clear dashboards, and run performance conversations that lead to action. Participants learn to link measures to goals, avoid gaming and vanity metrics, and turn numbers into improvement.
