The competitive environment of the organization is presented and its impact on the problem issue discussed. The problem of gathering data for Key Performance Indicators is discussed and the history of the problem detailed. The data gathering methods are described and the Results of the Survey discussed and suggestions made. The project leader uses Action Research to determine where improvement can be made in the collection of data and where the organization could benefit from shared best practices.
