I’m intrigued by the concept of “Direction”. You seem to imply that some key performance indicators are more key than others. Or are you just differentiating between KPIs and metrics? In my book, a KPI is a metric that is tied to a specific objective, has a pre-defined target value, and includes a scoring system to automatically evaluate the difference between actual and target.
