Less Data, Better Decisions: How to Identify High-Impact KPIs and Eliminate the Rest
Session Overview: Organizations collect more data than ever, but more data doesn’t mean better decisions. This session shows how to cut through the noise by aligning KPIs with business goals, identifying and eliminating low-value, labor-intensive data, and focusing on the metrics that truly matter. Attendees will leave with a practical framework to streamline reporting, improve visibility, and enable more effective, data-driven decision-making across both business and technical teams.
Learning Objectives:
- Align KPIs with organizational goals by connecting business objectives to the metrics that drive meaningful decisions
- Assess current data and reporting practices to identify low-value, redundant, or labor-intensive metrics that can be eliminated or automated
- Implement a streamlined approach to KPI selection and tracking that improves visibility, reduces manual effort, and supports more effective, data-driven decision-making
