Game-changing measures may be closer than you think...
Why attempt to measure the impossible?
Gain an unfair advantage
Being able to measure something that none of your competitors can measure can give you such a head start it feels like cheating.
Get ahead of the game
Act early by harnessing leading indictors, rather than reacting to lagging indications when it's too late.
Reduce effort and complexity
Reduce effort, complexity and delay from your data gathering and analysis by using clever short cuts and alternatives to 'brute force' measurement.
This course gives shows you three powerful techniques that should make [almost] anything measurable.
Who this course is for...
People who...
- Are tasked with creating new, effective, performance measures or KPIs but are finding it tough to figure out how
- Are looking to identify powerful new leading indicators
- Want a structured and practical design framework for making tough/impossible-to-measure KPIs measurable
Time to give yourself an unfair advantage
The practicalities of performance measurement are tough. You need to gather good quality data, analyse it and distribute it to decision-makers.
Because it's hard, it is tempting to focus your time and effort on readily available KPIs, such as revenue or customer satisfaction, while neglecting the more complex and intangible ones, such as customer intent, innovation, or disengagement.
What if you could measure what you really want and need to know?
This course, centred on the Holmes Method, gives you a three-step method to make things that appear to do just that.
Learn how to make the unmeasurable, measurable.
What is included...
Delivered through our reliable elearning platform you work through the course using a web browser, or using your iPhone or Android smartphone (requires the 'teachable' app and a free teachable account).
Three cheat sheets
Three clearly designed expert cheat sheets concisely summarise the three steps of the Holmes method, with detailed extra sheets on two of the process steps.
Fifty minutes of tuition
The 50 minute course is split into 11 bite-sized chunks. Each module is delivered by Bernie Smith, inventor of the Holmes Method, KPI author and consultant with over 25 years of practical performance measurement experience.
