Teaching Method

Our teaching method is designed to optimise learning and participant engagement by integrating a variety of interactive and practical techniques:

  • Sessions begin with interactive presentations where key KPI concepts are explained in detail. Using advanced multimedia technologies, these presentations encourage the active participation of learners.
  • In order to put theory into practice, we incorporate real-life case studies and concrete examples from a variety of industry sectors. This allows participants to see how KPIs are applied in real-life situations, enhancing their ability to link theory to practice.
  • A significant part of the course is dedicated to practical exercises where participants apply the KPI calculation formulas to real or simulated data sets.
  • To promote collective understanding and encourage the exchange of perspectives, group discussion sessions are organised. These discussions allow participants to share their experiences, offer personal insights and collaborate on complex problems, enriching the learning experience for all.
