DUSHANBE, January 25, Asia-Plus  -- A 3-day training seminar on advanced management technologies will be held in Dushanbe from February 5-7.

Rahmat Haqulov, director of the Dushanbe consulting company ISD Consulting, told Asia-Plus that his company organized the seminar in cooperation with Moscow’s Central Training Company.  

According to him, the seminar will be held in two sections: “Improvement of Organizational Structure” and “Management of Activity on the Basis of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).” 

Haqulov said that heads and personnel managers of a number of companies as well as individual entrepreneurs would participate in the seminar.  “The main objective of the seminar is to instruct its participants in advanced management technologies,” the ISD Consulting director said.  

Key Performance Indicators, also known as KPI or Key Success Indicators (KSI), help an organization define and measure progress toward organizational goals.

Once an organization has analyzed its mission, identified all its stakeholders, and defined its goals, it needs a way to measure progress toward those goals. Key Performance Indicators are those measurements.

Key Performance Indicators are quantifiable measurements, agreed to beforehand, that reflect the critical success factors of an organization. They will differ depending on the organization. A business may have as one of its Key Performance Indicators the percentage of its income that comes from return customers. A school may focus its Key Performance Indicators on graduation rates of its students.

Whatever Key Performance Indicators are selected, they must reflect the organization''s goals, they must be key to its success, and they must be quantifiable (measurable). Key Performance Indicators usually are long-term considerations. The definition of what they are and how they are measured do not change often. The goals for a particular Key Performance Indicator may change as the organization''s goals change, or as it gets closer to achieving a goal.
