Overview of the webinar
Selecting the right metrics requires understanding key stakeholder expectations and how they can be measured, as well as making sure that measures are properly aligned to the hierarchy of objectives. This means that a random or shotgun approach to metrics identification is unlikely to result in effective evaluation and management of the system, whether it’s the entire organization, a single facility, a department, a process, or an activity. Instead there are likely to be gaps, misalignment and conflicts between metrics.Once selected there are many factors that must be defined, such as who is the owner, the source of data and how it will be manipulated, displayed and reported, as well as the frequency of analysis and appropriate responses.Throughout these steps consideration must be given to the potential psychological impact that a metric might have, in order to prevent any potential damage to system performance. As well, after implementation reviews must be done in order to determine what changes may be necessary (e.g., continue, revise, delete) for the metric.

Why should you attend?
Have you noticed that organizations often measure things that are easy to measure, or things that are less important (e.g., number of things done rather than number done right)? Or that the organization is copying what another organization is measuring? If so, that’s because that’s often the mindset used.
Rather than asking “what should we measure” the question should be “how should we decide what to measure?” That’s the premise behind this webinar, which will demonstrate how to identify the right metrics based on desired outcomes, and what needs to be specified related to each measure.
