Telecommunication service industry around the world is facing significant challenges from competition,
technological revamps at very short frequencies and never-ending customer demands. In full-grown
markets, the preferred path to growth is that of acquisition of competitors or alliance with newer
partners. On the other hand, promising markets with explosive demand provide vast opportunities for the
players.
Today, telecommunication industry is no longer technology centric, but it revolves more around customer
relationship. Customer satisfaction and marketing intelligence with innovative promotional schemes and
advanced technology are the drivers of business. Also, cutthroat competition and mammoth investments
in the telecom industry churn away profit margins and make intelligent decision making critical. And how
do CXOs make decisions? Through KPI monitoring, control and analysis.
As in the rest of the industries, a performance indicator or key performance indicator (KPI) is a
measure of performance. Such measures are commonly used to help an organization define and evaluate
how successful it is, typically in terms of making progress towards its long-term organizational goals.
KPIs can be specified by answering the question, What is really important to different stakeholders?.
KPIs may be monitored using Business Intelligence techniques to assess the present state of the business
and to assist in prescribing a course of action. The act of monitoring KPIs in real-time is known
as business activity monitoring (BAM). KPIs are frequently used to value difficult to measure activities
such as the benefits of leadership development, engagement, service, and satisfaction.
My friend Pareek has just sent me a set of 100 KPIs for telecom operators. He includes some illustrative
figures in the brackets that show indicative values for an Asian Operator we will not disclose. Hope it
helps.
