Solving The Problem of Metric Immaturity

Metric maturity is the level of an organization’s ability to effectively collect, analyze, and leverage data and metrics to make informed decisions and drive business growth.

Metric immaturity is characterized by:

Unclear Key Levers

There is low to no clarity on the levers that need to be leveraged and therefore not tracking.

Focus on Tasks

Teams track and report on projects and tasks not outcomes, experiments and learnings.

Busy, Not Effective

Progress updates often show teams are busy, but don't reflect their effectiveness in achieving meaningful outcomes.

Activity Over Outcomes

Goals/OKRs are biased towards activities not outcomes as that's all that is being tracked that's useful.

Progress Falls Short

Teams are not making the progress that was forecast or expected.

Rising Doubts & Frustrations

Doubts and frustrations are creeping and communication is suffering.

The opposite is obviously what you are trying to achieve, and our team would be delighted to take you on a journey to get there. Using collaborative tools like KPI trees, we will facilitate metric planning sessions, during which new skills are learned, and a plan for what to measure is formed and committed to.

Where there are technical challenges, marketing attribution is a common challenge; for example, our team can step in and solve it.

As important as the metrics is the ability to use and act on them. We train and coach teams on how to approach improving metrics in the fastest time and least effort.

Strategic KPIs will tell you what you want to happen.
Descriptive analytics will tell you what happened.
Root cause analytics will tell you what the problem is.
Predictive analytics will tell you what is going to happen next.
Finally, prescriptive analytics and experimentation will tell you what you should do.

Core Use Cases for Enhanced Capability

Your teams will embark on a journey that, for some, will be scary. Measurement comes with accountability and failure, not only success.

We help you map the journey, engage stakeholders, and bring them along, reassuring everyone. Once they embrace the capability, the sky’s the limit.

Having a high-level of metric maturity is a gift that will keep on giving. There are the four use cases we get involved in the most.

“We had used OKRs but had not had great success with some teams being cynical. Matt trained the team and managed to get them excited and engaged again, and them guided them through the first few quarters until they finally clicked.”

Collette Easton

CEO Yard

“Matt facilitated a week of strategy and OKR workshops for us. By the end, we were buzzing. We had a strategy we believed in and a framework we knew would deliver."

James Linton

Head of Strategic Operations ZEGO

“Ian is a recognised OKR leader with deep expertise and our trusted OKR Advisers. He helped the Leadership Team be outcomes-driven and reduced the number of OKRs to three-driving real focus.”

James Tunstall

CPO

“Our company had over 800 OKRs and a range of complex personalities—we needed to embed them to help in a practical way, not to teach us the theory. The approach of building relationships and managing stakeholders carefully paid off through a much stronger alignment across the business.”
