Measuring Better

Everyone talks about measuring, and its importance.

Few discuss how we can do better.

The answer will be unique to each organization, but we can agree on two things:

1. Measures be tied to desired outcomes
2. The traditional ways of measuring are not tied to desired outcomes

Measures come in three varieties:

a. Performance
b. Health
c. Compliance

So, consider the desired objectives, how you want to measure progress, and how to visually represent the progress.

With so many changes in the way we do everything, literally everything, now is the time to reevaluate how we measure.
