Measure, But Measure Wisely

"Measurement and metrics tracking is not a decision-making tool. It is a performance indicator. The numbers neither know what you are trying to achieve nor are they the only factor in understanding performance. Do not use them that way – it is simply poor management to rely on numbers to make your decisions. Use them to assess and evaluate."

  • From my experience, metrics are essential to understanding if where you are spending your time is working well or not
  • The result of the measurement is not to dock your pay, criticize you, or indicate that you should stop blogging.  It was to learn something about how you did something to improve it the next time.

The State of Intangibles Measurement - KPI's Are An Imperfect Answer

In the industrial economy, we had lots of ways of measuring our work. It was a mostly physical process so we could literally see what was going on. Our financial systems were built around this industrial model and we could also put dollar values on products as they progressed through factories and machines, converting raw materials into finished goods.

The shift to a knowledge economy has changed that. A lot of the value created today happens inside peoples’ heads or their computers. This is the case in service and technology businesses but even in manufacturing settings where it is the process, not the product, that creates so much of the value.

  • Well here’s what worries me. KPI’s are by definition a small number of indicators. There is no guarantee that KPI’s are the right metrics. And they can be manipulated.

The Fallacy of Financial Metrics

In both entrepreneurial and larger companies, we too often spend time focusing on the desired financial performance target, rather than the inputs that drive those numbers. Because boards, investors and management demand an objective way to measure performance, we often go right to the result without focusing on what caused those results.

Les KPI ne sont pas la priorité

Le plus important, c’est de savoir ce que vous voulez faire et comment vous allez le faire. Le moyen choisi pour mesurer ne vient qu’ensuite. “

  • A force de marteler des slogans du type “On ne pilote que ce que l’on mesure”, on mesure un peu tout et n’importe quoi. Au final on ne sait plus trop ce que l’on pilote, ni même si on pilote. Je me demande s’il ne faudrait pas, durant un temps en tout cas, inverser la formule afin de se recentrer sur l’essentiel. “ On ne mesure que ce que l’on pilote”.
