The 3 Things About Measures or Metrics

In this ‘3 Things’ episode, Lee talks about the tools we all need to use to identify quantitively if our changes and improvements are successful, our chosen measures and metrics. What 3 things do we need to bear in mind to use these tools effectively?  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Aligned to purpose. Ensure the chosen metric is the exact measure of the team’s success. Meaningful to each layer. The figures should be comprehensible and meaningful to all levels within the organisation.  To be actionable and solvable. The metric chosen should be affected by the actions and decisions of the change team. 

BEST MOMENTS
‘They should be aligned to a particular purpose, to a purpose of the team and that team’s purpose is to be aligned to that overall business purpose as well.’  

’Does every person on every team resonate with the measure or metric and the reason why they are there?’

‘Can you go away and understand where and why the gap exists? Are you empowered to actually resolve or close that gap with you and your team?’
