Using KPIs to Grow and Increase Profitability

Using KPIs to Grow and Increase Profitability – A Tech With Heart Interview with Andrew Frazier

KPIs are to a business owner what a compass is to a sea captain.

There is a saying, “if you don’t plan, you plan to fail,” and most would agree that in business, it is imperative to have a plan. What measures does one take to implement that plan? How do you know if the plan is working, or if it needs tweaking?

The best-laid plans are always subject to change, and that goes with business plans too.

The 2020 decade has been far from ordinary. Standard business practices went out the window during the height of the pandemic when everyone was sheltered in place. This disruption in the “norm” has greatly affected businesses, large and small, across the globe, even to this day.
