KPI's

What are KPI's?

KPI’s are tools that can be used by a business or organisation to define, measure, monitor and track their performance over time so they can achieve their goals listed.

Today we considered how KPI’s are related to us as a student. We made a list to as what we thought needed to be done so we could be competent for the assignment to be handed in. E.g. does it contain the right footer? Is a reference page included? Have organisational standards been followed? I made a good reasonable list, but could still add a few things to it, at least my format for the table look good!

KPI’s and KPA’s are still a little bit confusing for me, but at least I know the basics about them.

At this time, I actually can’t wait for the holidays, even though I’ll be flat out with work, at least I won’t have to think about all these different assignments!

.:. Not long to go .:.

Only a few more weeks to go till the holidays. Now all the assessments are getting close to being due in. Hopefully by tonight I'll have most of the Tasks in Communicate Electronically emailed to the lecturer.

I've just finished my five year plan, which was pretty easy for me as I've always had a good idea of what I'm going to do in the next few years. After a year from Graduation there's still a lot of learning/studying I need to do, so most of my work plan consists of studying Dilplomas. Besides work the only other thing I'd like to do is get my Motorbike licence for when I go to live in the city and actually buy my Ninja!

.:. TIME TO ORGANISE .:.

Time Management; doing this just reminds me of how much time I don't really have to spare for things like  homework or going to meetings for work and any extra social activities. Maybe planning out things a little better will help me get those extra hours!


 
This will definately help for TAFE, as I'm always running a lil late in the mornings and never have enough time for homework!


 
I really need to consider that there is three different roadworks to go through when coming to tafe, which this really slow me downs and puts me behind schedule.


 
Creating a 5 year plan will be good, as this is the time I need to work out what I want to do with my life. It would be great to be organised and have everything sorted out, so im not rushing anything or forgetting anything important. I already have a good idea of what is going in my plan for the next three years. So that's a great start!








If anyone is in Denmark on every second Saturday, you should come down to Willoughby Park Winery and Boston Brewery to come see some amazing live music and enjoy some delicious food, wine or some freshly made beer!



Blog's are boring

So far doing this blog isn't something I enjoy, as I can never think of much to write about! Assessments are already started to be handed in, it's amazing how fast these weeks have gone by. Managed to complete our first assessment in MYOB! I'm finally starting to get the hang of the software used for it, which is good, as it's something I really need to learn, especially if I'm going to get my Advanced Diploma of Accounting.
Working as a group today helped to remind me what we covered in cert II last year, some information was a lot harder to remember, as it's been a long time since I studied.
