About the course
When it comes to achieving your strategic goals, you should always have critical success factors (CSFs) at the front of your mind. But what are CSFs and how can they improve your business?
A CSF is an action or outcome essential to helping achieve a higher objective. CSFs should be used as milestones towards a larger goal. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking to measure performance or develop skills, using CSFs will help your organisation to structure, plan and execute goals.
In this course, you will identify the right critical success factors to support your strategic objectives and understand how they can be used to drive performance.
You will explore the benefits of CSFs, the use of driver diagrams and Failure Mode Effects Analysis.
