What is a description of key performance indicators (kpi)?

a) an amount, benchmark, or degree set to define and measure progress toward a goal.

b) a visual depiction of a group's framework showing levels of authority, roles and lines of communication.

c) 71 percent

I believe the best option to be letter a) an amount, benchmark, or degree set to define and measure progress toward a goal.

Explanation:

Even though "communication" is a crucial word when it comes to using KPI, letter b does not offer us a good definition of it.

KPI means Key Performance Indicators and they must be chosen and specified according to critical or core business objectives. So, the following aspects are decisive when setting KPI's:

An example of outcome would be increasing sales revenue in 15% this year. From that outcome, the other guidelines may be defined - business will become more profitable, the Chief Sales Officer is responsible etc.

KPI's demand thorough communication with the team and constant updating.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
