I Put My Own Company Through Our KPI Maturity Assessment — Here’s What Happened

At JumpstartKPI, we talk a lot about KPI maturity. We help clients figure out whether they’re truly managing performance — or just producing dashboards. And we built a 50‑question KPI Maturity Assessment to give organizations a clear, objective score across reporting, data quality, governance, ownership, and performance culture.  So, this week, I decided to turn the spotlight on ourselves.

This Exercise That Became Surprisingly Insightful

What started as a fun idea (“Let’s fill in the assessment for our own company!”) quickly turned into a genuinely valuable exercise. Even as a company that builds KPI frameworks, I found myself pausing at several questions — especially the ones that go beyond tooling and into behaviors, consistency, and governance.

 Our Results

After the online assessment we got our score, which was a total of 73.3%.  To no surprise our Data Display and Understanding scored the highest; although there is room for improvement.  But our KPI management needs improvement.  Our out of the box ERP reporting has a lot of report, but few focused on KPIs, targets and trends.  All items we still need to finish building in our Power BI suite.  So not a big surprise, but it shows we have a strong foundation to build on.

If You Haven’t Tried the Assessment Yet…

I can highly recommend doing what I just did. It takes about 10 minutes, and you’ll walk away with:

• A maturity score

• A breakdown across key dimensions

• Immediate clarity on where to improve

• A strategic conversation starter inside your organization

And if you want to go deeper, we’re happy to walk through your results and highlight the most impactful improvements — just like we do internally.
