No.  Plenty of businesses grow significantly without ever having heard of a KPI (Key Performance Indicator).

However, the chances of a business growing are improved by good use of KPIs, and the rate of growth is likely to be higher. 

Poor use of KPIs will slow down growth or even destroy the business.

KPIs are a standard business tool and on the whole do more good than harm.

Performance indicators affect the growth factor because it indicates the extent to which employees' work is linked to the goals of the establishment. It is an indicator to understand each employee for his role in achieving the goals and thus rationalizing the working capacities to achieve this. It is therefore important for each employee to know his or her own indicators to work on during the year to reach the final outcome

It a philosophical question , we can say NO , a lot of businesses grow larger and larger with using ( KPI ) but is it true or they been using some form of (measurement system) based on their knowledge !!!

However , In Short .. I think it is an important technique to be used in today market where there are a cutthroat competition.

KPIs are necessary to measur the extent to which strategic objectives have been achieved, to monitor the extent of performance development at frequent intervals, and to measure operational processes. Among the objectives that must be achieved by the indicators are:

• Ensuring the achievement of strategic objectives.

• Enhancing institutional learning: by identifying the areas and procedures for improvement required to be applied in the event that the results of the strategic indicators that measure the strategic objectives of the institution are not achieved.

• Enhancing motivation: As performance measurement is a motivating tool for the organization, work teams and individuals working in it at all levels of management by directing efforts towards desired performance and linking it to realistic and ambitious goals.

• Strengthening accountability: given that performance measurement provides the required evidence of the extent to which the strategy and its objectives have been achieved, in addition to the reasons and factors that led to the achievement or non-achievement of the required performance, and consequently accountability and accountability take place and those concerned bear their responsibilities towards the performance indicators and results that they have committed to.

• The ability of the institution and its organizational units to develop their capabilities (services, operations, projects, policies) by linking them to performance indicators and results.

Every company has its KPIs - whether they are properly documented or they are mental checkpoints for the owners of the business. These KPIs are invaluable to the growth of the business and pinpoint special areas of focus that need improvement or the business needs to capitalise on.

It is important for the business to be aware of them as therein lies their secret weapons for measurement of success or areas to ensure success

Extremly important. By applying KPI, you can base on daily record whether its on track or not. If its not going well, that when you apply Sale or promotion season. You don't simply do sales without any reason.

YES, KPIs are very important to understand the growth or fall of the business and to take collective measures in improving the business flows/ cycles. For better growth and to understand the weakness i personally feel one should be aware of them.
