For each new metric (quality, cost, repairability, retention, churn, profit)

We create dedicated structure (incentive, role, process, system, report)

Complicatedness = cause of unproductively

Productivity stalled with new complexity of business

Process is a proxy for understanding

Responsibility: when people understand what others do + consequences of actions are apparent

Do: involve & communicate

Move the needleYves Moriuex: 80% time in

corporations is wasted.

Is clarity, measurement, accountability actually helping you? Or more energy

on who to blame in case of failure?

Ppl put energy into what they are measure on

40-80% of a corporations energy on wasting time Is it worthwhile for the individual to collaborate

How much time do you use to measure, analyse and report. How much of it enables you to improve results?

more process doesn't create clarity, it creates complicatedness

How many metrics are above speed

Scalers improve, plan, forecast, judge

Starters create, invent search, experiment

Everyone wants innovation. No one wants to

Good news about innovation for the rest of us

No by solitary genius No eureka moment
