Managing your indicators system: for managers and planners

“Managing Your Indicators System for Managers and Planners” is a comprehensive guide designed to help professionals administer and sustain a reliable performance measurement system. The book explains how managers and planners should structure, document, update, and interpret indicators to ensure that measurements reflect reality and support strategic decision‑making.

The author details the essential components of indicator management: defining clear measurement criteria, establishing reference standards, documenting formulas and data sources, validating results, and maintaining consistency across departments. The book also highlights common failures in indicator administration—such as ambiguous definitions, inconsistent measurement practices, lack of reference patterns, and poor communication of results—and provides actionable methodologies to correct them.

Readers learn how to manage the indicator lifecycle: from initial formulation and documentation, to periodic measurement, analysis, interpretation, and reporting. The book emphasizes that a well‑managed indicator system strengthens organizational learning, improves accountability, and enhances the quality of decisions at both operational and strategic levels.

This work is essential for managers, planners, analysts, auditors, and professionals responsible for performance measurement, strategic planning, and organizational reporting in both public and private institutions.
