Jump to section

The business is run on a small set of team-level metrics — density, utilisation, retention and revenue per team — because these are the levers that convert the strategy into the financials.

Management monitors a focused set of financial, operational and customer KPIs, chosen because each maps to a specific value driver in the model.
