Once the initial battle is over in identifying what KPIs to measure and the tracking of data begins, many organizations tend to lose focus or become complacent over time. Here are some common situations that arise that cause loss of focus:
- People changing roles
- Data is not populated on a regular basis
- Red KPIs do not have a corresponding corrective action
- Business priorities change to meet customer/market demand
- Inconsistent meetings to review the data
