Training module overview

Training module overview

Training module overview

Many organizations struggle with performance data that is inconsistent, difficult to compare, or unreliable, leading to suboptimal decisions and ineffective management systems.

This module addresses these challenges by offering a disciplined foundation in measurement methods, data quality checks, and measurement registers for consistent performance data. Participants will learn to select appropriate measurement methods, implement robust data quality controls, and establish systematic measurement registers. The focus is on practical application, enabling participants to ensure their performance data is consistent, explainable, and maintainable, thereby supporting informed decision-making without delving into complex statistical analysis.

Applicable environments

This module is applicable across a wide range of management systems and organisational contexts. The concepts are not tied to a specific ISO standard and are used wherever organisations need clear, workable processes, defined ownership, and embedded controls.

It is commonly applied in quality, information security, environmental, and other ISO-based management systems, as well as in non-certified environments that require structured, auditable operations.

Decision support

Is this module for you?

It is a good fit if you…

  • rely on KPIs or reports but question their reliability.

  • struggle with inconsistent definitions, sources, or calculations.

  • experience debates about numbers instead of decisions.

  • need measurement results that are explainable and repeatable.

  • want monitoring that holds up over time, not ad-hoc reporting.

  • rely on KPIs or reports but question their reliability.

  • struggle with inconsistent definitions, sources, or calculations.

  • experience debates about numbers instead of decisions.

  • need measurement results that are explainable and repeatable.

  • want monitoring that holds up over time, not ad-hoc reporting.

If most of the points above apply, this module is likely a good fit.

It may not be the best fit if you…

  • already operate a stable, trusted, and consistently applied measurement system.

  • have no mandate or interest in shaping how data is collected or validated.

  • need KPI design, performance interpretation, or analytics tooling.

  • are looking for automation or BI solutions rather than measurement foundations.
