1-Minute Video Abstract of Your KPI Focus
(Optional, but Strongly Encouraged)

As part of SayPro’s forward-thinking and multimedia-driven approach to knowledge sharing and institutional engagement, applicants—especially institutional researchers, analysts, planners, and educators—are encouraged to submit a 1-minute video abstract presenting the key focus or highlight of their Key Performance Indicator (KPI) framework.

This short video provides an opportunity to creatively and clearly summarize your performance measurement approach, making your submission more engaging, accessible, and visually impactful for SayPro reviewers and collaborators.

🎯 Purpose of the Video Abstract:

• To visually and succinctly communicate your KPI strategy, goals, or success stories.
• To personalize and humanize your application or project proposal.
• To demonstrate your ability to translate complex data concepts into clear narratives.
• To allow SayPro to easily showcase and promote effective practices across its network.

🎬 What to Include in the 1-Minute Video:

1. Introduction (0–15 seconds):

• Your name and title
• Your institution or organization (if applicable)
• The project or program your KPIs are tied to

2. KPI Focus Summary (15–45 seconds):

• What is your main KPI focus or challenge area?
• Why is it important to your institution, department, or community?
• How do you measure success? (brief mention of 2–3 key indicators)

3. Impact or Innovation (45–60 seconds):

• A result, insight, or improvement achieved through the KPI framework
• Or: A new approach or tool you’re using that others could learn from

Example Closing Line:
“Through this framework, we’ve improved student retention by 12% in two years—and we continue to refine our indicators to support inclusive success.”

• Speak clearly and confidently; write a short script if needed
• You may record using:
  • A smartphone or webcam
  • Zoom or other video conferencing software (record a short session)
  • Online tools like Loom, Canva Video, or Clipchamp
