Dear sir I watched the lectures But couldn’t understand Firstly What’s the difference between critical success factor and goals. Secondly I am having difficulties in understanding the difference between critical success factors and goals.

Using McDonalds as an example, they might decide that one of the factors critical to them being successful is the speed of service. One of their goals therefore might be to increase their speed of service.

Oh thank you sir And the difference between Objectives and critical success factors is that There maybe many objectives available to achieve one critical success factor Am I right sir

That is true.

Thank you sir and Are Goals and key performance indicators (KPI’s) the same thing ?
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor3y ago#5
No. Goals are what they are aiming for. KPI's are how they are measuring whether they are achieving their goals.

Oh ok So kPI measures whether the company is achieving their goals or not is correct But is it also true to state that KPI measures whether the company is achieving their mission or vision ? Thank you sir

KPI measures whether they are achieving their goals. If the meet their goals that they are achieving their mission.
