Nexus Reveals KPIs of the Future

The Women in Leadership Nexus® — equipping women across the globe with access to trainings, professional development, and community to drive their career velocity — launched a month-long convening and data initiative to unearth new KPIs that can be used to measure a core business area.

Over the course of March of 2023, Nexus brought together hundreds of women across the nation around a guiding question...

How can we measure career advancement for women in a Future of Work era?

To answer this question, Nexus invited women to participate in a series of focus groups, design thinking workshops, and surveys. However, instead of talking about new KPIs that should be created, Nexus asked participants to take data off the table.

Instead, they were invited to ideate and discuss the topic of "career advancement for women," diving into prompts such as:

  • What words come to mind when you hear “career advancement for women?”

  • How do you think the definition of advancement has shifted?

  • What do you believe blocks career progression for women?

  • What would drive more equitable, impactful advancement?

  • What tactics, actions, or behaviors would best support advancement?

From these convening sessions, a stream of descriptors flowed in terms of where participants believe workplaces need to head to better drive greater career advancement for women. Against these desired attributes, Nexus tapped data and analytics firm SQA Group, who leveraged its Metrics Finder methodology, to create brand new KPIs.
