Dear Fellow Members,
We at our organization are trying to put in a set KRA / KPI for all our colleagues.
We have departments such as:-
Sales
Pre Sales
Projects
Operations
Purchase
Finance and Accounts
The KRA / KPI need to be measurable against their performance.
Can you please help me build the same?
You could also feel free to send me comments to my mail or follow this thread.

=============================================
WHAT ARE KRA ---KPA --- KPI .

Key Result Areas [KRA]

"Key Result Areas" or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which the department's role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRA.

Value of KRAs.

Identifying KRAs helps individuals: · Clarify their roles · Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan · Focus on results rather than activities · Communicate their role’s purposes to others · Set goals and objectives · Prioritize their activities, and therefore improve their time/work management · Make value-added decisions

Description of KRAs

Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of the department's work role. The remainder of the role is usually devoted to areas of shared responsibility (e.g., helping team members, participating in activities for the good of the organisation).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS.[KPA]
When the key results area is large,
it is broken into manageable areas for managing/ evaluation.
these sub-sections of KRAs are called KPA
example
KRA = RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION
KPA 1= RECRUITMENT
KPA 2 = SELECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS [ KPi]
To manage each KRA/ KPAs, a set of KPI are set .

KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the department /INDIVIDUAL which
can have effect on the business results and is
self measured where applicable.
================================================== ===============
FIRST STEP
review the company's
*VISION STATEMENT
*MISSION STATEMENT
*CORPORATE OBJECTIVES
*CORPORATE STRATEGY
*CORPORATE BUSINESS UNITS/ DEPARTMENTAL PLANS/STRATEGY.
FOR THE BUDGET PERIOD, WHICH IS USUALLY 12 MONTHS.
 
THIS IS A MUST STEP, AS NO KPi CAN BE SET,
WHEN IT IS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE CORPORATE OBJECTIVES.
================================================== ======
SECOND STEP,
TAKE EACH DEPARTMENT ----ONE AT A TIME.
review, the
*DEPARTMENT OBJECTIVES
*DEPARTMENT STRATEGIES
* DEPARTMENTAL PLANS.
FOR THE BUDGET PERIOD, WHICH IS USUALLY 12 MONTHS.
=====================================
THIRD STEP
REVIEW THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
START WITH THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT HEAD.
-review the job description.
-from the job description, pick 5 key areas which will impact
on the results of the department.
-weightage the 5 key areas according to the importance
and the weightage must add upto 100.
-IF REQUIRED, YOU CAN BREAK THE KRAs
into KPAs---if the KRAs are large.
-then develop the KPi----which the key performance indicators
based on the corporate / department objectives.
To manage each KRA/ KPA , a set of KPI are set .

KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the person who
can have effect on the business results and is
self measured where applicable.
