About this lesson
You'll discover why linking performance measures to mission and objectives matters, how to identify gaps between stated goals and actual KPIs, and what makes a report truly useful for evaluating strategic performance. The lesson covers strategic relevance as your starting point when analysing reports, the importance of benchmarking and context (such as market growth or budget comparisons), and why a balanced mix of financial and non-financial measures strengthens decision-making. This is core material for understanding how to critique and improve management reporting in your case studies and exams.
