Advisory Framework
Decision Framework – KPI Mapping & Ownership
A structured approach to connect business decisions with KPIs, define actionable triggers, and assign clear ownership to enable effective execution.
The Problem
In many analytics and reporting environments, data is available but decisions remain unclear. KPIs are tracked, but thresholds, actions, and ownership are not defined, leading to delays and inconsistent execution.
As a result, insights often do not translate into timely action, and performance issues are identified late rather than proactively.
Framework Overview
The Decision Framework provides a structured method to define what decisions need to be made, how they are measured, when action is required, and who is responsible for execution.
The framework builds on a clearly defined business context and objectives, ensuring that decisions are aligned with overall program goals and priorities.
It is designed as a modular structure, allowing additional components such as decision tracking, governance, and review mechanisms to be integrated as needed.
Framework Components
Decision to KPI Mapping (Template 2A)
Defines the relationship between business decisions and KPIs by identifying relevant metrics, thresholds, and triggers that indicate when action is required.
Decision Ownership & Action (Template 2B)
Assigns ownership and defines primary and alternative actions to ensure decisions are executed consistently and effectively.

How It Works
The framework follows a structured flow:
- Identify the decisions to be made
- Map the decision to measurable KPIs
- Define thresholds and triggers
- Assign ownership
- Execute and monitor actions
This ensures that insights from dashboards and reports lead to timely, consistent, and accountable decisions.
Where It Is Used
This framework can be applied across delivery governance, analytics initiatives, and ERP programs to improve decision clarity, accountability, and execution effectiveness.
What This Enables
- Clear linkage between business decisions and data
- Defined triggers for timely action
- Accountability through ownership
- Consistent and repeatable decision-making approach
