Review of Organizational Performance Measurement and KPI Cascading for High-Growth Enterprises
Abstract
High-growth enterprises operate in dynamic environments where strategic alignment, operational agility, and consistent performance monitoring are crucial for sustaining competitiveness. Organizational performance measurement frameworks provide the foundation for assessing effectiveness, efficiency, and value creation, while Key Performance Indicator (KPI) cascading ensures that strategic objectives are systematically translated into actionable goals across all organizational levels. This review synthesizes existing literature on performance measurement systems and KPI cascading models, highlighting their relevance to the unique challenges faced by high-growth enterprises such as scalability, rapid market adaptation, and talent management. Emphasis is placed on examining how balanced scorecards, strategy maps, and integrated analytics tools enable goal alignment, while also identifying gaps in adaptability, contextualization, and data governance. The review further explores best practices, emerging trends such as AI-driven KPI management, and practical implications for managers. Findings underscore the importance of aligning KPIs with both financial and non-financial dimensions, embedding cascading mechanisms into organizational culture, and ensuring flexibility to adapt to growth stages. This paper contributes to bridging theory and practice by providing a consolidated understanding of how performance measurement and KPI cascading can foster sustainable growth trajectories in rapidly scaling enterprises.
