Mudar de indicadores

E recordo as surpresas que às vezes apanho em empresas maiores de encontrar chefias intermédias que não querem indicadores, que acham que se mede muito, que se mede demais...
"Companies in industries facing change have to change their key metrics, often before the new reality is clear.
...
Know your metrics and the behaviors they drive. Everyone at your company should understand which metrics drive the business, and what behaviors they encourage. ... “Everyone needs to know how each metric fits into the big picture…why and how we’re measuring something, and how it’s relevant to performance.”[Moi ici: Esse é o grande poder do mapa da estratégia com as suas relações de causa-efeito]
...
Prioritize metrics that reflect value to customers, rather than simple volume or efficiency.
...
Many traditional commodity or product-focused industries, such as mining, oil and gas, or chemicals, tend to focus on the volume of product purchased and shipped: tons, barrels, liters, etc. This is an obvious metric, but it biases a company toward decisions that reinforce the commoditization of its own offerings. Focusing on them means that new business concepts — ones that might decrease the volume sold but replace it with value-added services or services that better align customer and supplier incentives — can be easily missed.[Moi ici: Quando uma PME interioriza que tem de subir na escala de valor, que tem de formular uma estratégia não assente no custo/desconto, às vezes é difícil conseguir a energia e o empenho das chefias para mergulhar bem fundo em busca dos novos indicadores relevantes. A tentação é saltar logo para a acção.]
...
Conquering the tyranny of metrics requires ongoing experimentation and iteration.
...
Changing the ways we measure success means changing how we define success. Waiting until the market has already changed means playing catch-up. Given how companies construct themselves around optimizing against their metrics, waiting until market shifts are obvious often means waiting until it’s too late."
E a sua empresa, há quantos anos não muda de indicadores? E a estratégia mudou?
