    21. Desired Definitions What does the measure mean? On-Time means on original request date, not rescheduled date Time-to-Hire starts with receipt of requisition and ends on the first day on the job Who owns the measure? Responsible or taking action as needed Where and how will the data be gathered? Data stream, frequency of measure, repository 21

    22. Desired Definitions How will the data be manipulated or normalized for equivalent comparisons over time? Index (Sales/FTE or x hours of labor) How often will the measure be reported and analyzed? Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly Goals align with frequency of review 22

    23. 23 Indicators Interrelate?

    24. Reporting Measures Step 3

    25. Useful Measures: Provide information to those who can act on it Available at the right frequency Available in the right format Are SMART Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time bound Achievable, but at what level of pain? Are aggregated and segmented Are continuously evaluated and updated 25

    26. Evaluating Measures Where are we today? Level How does that compare to yesterday? Trend Is it any good? Comparison So what? Alignment/Integration with Vision, Strategy, Customer or Employee requirement 26

    27. Taking Action Step 4

    28. Acting on Analysis Celebrate the wins Identify course corrections as needed Create accountability for actions Toss out non-actionable indicators Identify better “right questions” Modify analysis techniques for “better answers” 28

    29. “What Matters” is Changing Today Trend analysis and forecasting Standardized reporting Data visualization Analytics applied in business processes Simulations and scenario development Clustering and segmentation Regression analysis, discrete choice modeling In 18 Months Data visualization Simulations and scenario development Analytics applied in business processes Regression analysis, discrete choice modeling Trend analysis and forecasting Clustering and segmentation Standardized reporting 29
