Measuring and improving performance is critical for managers who want to achieve successful business growth. However, standard key performance indicators (KPIs) can be overly complex and therefore ineffective in managing productivity. Six Figure Management Method shows that measuring and improving just six well-selected figures, each of them simple to understand and easy to calculate, will make the profitability of a business soar.
Based around these six measures, Georges and Hus present a streamlined, straightforward framework for managing activities effectively on a day-to-day basis, while still aiming for long-term goals, motivating people and systematically delivering long-term success.
This is a practical handbook for managers packed with easy-to-apply, down-to-earth tips and tricks, written by the creator of The Management Cockpit, a widely used performance management and decision support system.
