Avoid misery Make sure you are measuring the appropriate metrics for your organisation
and that they’re used to engage and motivate. Inappropriate measures can
cause disengagement and job misery, which is counter-productive.
Make sure what you measure and analyse focuses on what is vitally
important at every level of your organisation. Think about your purpose,
values and behaviours and how you can test and monitor their impact
through your measures.
Don’t lag
behind
Your measures can either be lagging or leading in nature. Try framing your
measures on being leading – this will help you to focus on the activities
that are most connected to achieving your objectives.
Create
a learning
culture
Your values and behaviours should run through everything you do – use
them as a guide to support decision-making at every level. They should
be second nature to your people and a real foundation to your culture.
