Why is he wrriting about this?

If you are new to this blog, and you probably are, since this blog is new itself, you must be wondering: what is this guy writing about? Why on earth has he picked KPI’s and metrics as a topic for a blog? Aren’t there much more exiting topics to be writing about?
If I’d have the chance to provide you with an answer it would probably be: “Yes, you are right. I could be writing about cars, celebrities, my favorite wines or even politics. There are topics from the world of business that are way more interesting than KPI’s or metrics. Buuuut…”
And this is where it starts: Understanding metrics and KPI’s is becoming increasingly more important for comprehending business performance and managing it effectively. This is owed to the fact that the economy is ever more strongly driven by analytics. Numbers and indicators are ingrained within the very fibre of the New Economy. Thriving in the New Economy will be what sets the successful business apart from the unsuccessful ones in the years to come. The internet has enabled and is forcing businesses to focus on the numbers.

I encourage you acquire a basic understanding of what metrics are, how they work and how you can apply them as Key Performance Indicators in your business. I am by no means an expert on the topic and still have the majority of learning ahead of me. That is why I invite you to join me in discovering this fascinating and important topic.
