I’m developing a series of KPI’s for a retail operation. They own nine garden shed outlets and don’t currently track anything. It’s late and I’ve got a pile of notes, but I’ll document the process here.

One of the key elements is avoid collecting useless data, and reward the collection of useful data that reinforces the corporate values, empowers the store managers and is an aid profitability through performance measurement.

Obviously the store managers are going to have a say in the KPI.
