how do others do it?
We define two types of KPIs. Strategic KPIs measure the
success of the initiative’s strategy and last as long as
the initiative.
Tactical KPIs measure the performance of the initiative’s
tactics and come and go as tactics evolve. All tactical KPIs
must drive a strategic KPI.

"The Six Sigma process killed innovation at 3M...they would say
they need a five year business plan for a new idea. Come on, we
don't know yet because we don't know how it works, we don't
know how many customers will take it up, we haven't taken it out
to the customer yet."
