In the absence of data how do you know that what you are doing is effective and productive?
They say what gets measured gets managed. Metrics helps us determine if our actions and choices are delivering the desired outcome. Having access to high quality data enables us to know if we are tracking for success or headed for failure.
Ask yourself:
- How do you use metrics and data to track and measure progress?
- How do you balance data driven decisions with emotion driven decisions?
- What criteria do you use to capture and focus on the relevant data and metrics?
