Managing through measurement is a huge part of our working lives. In a world where more and more is being demanded for less and targets are getting harder and timescales are getting shorter, the pressure to perform is high. There are countless Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and they are getting more and more sophisticated. However, measuring performance and development by quantitative statistics alone has its dangers too.
Have you ever experienced ‘ivory tower’ decision making based on some numbers on a spreadsheet? Have you ever sat in a Performance Review or Personal Development Plan and looked solely at the numbers?
Making decisions using quantity data is not only ignorant, it is boring too. Stories are better than spreadsheets! The data needs a context and stories do that. Stories captivate your audience and they trigger emotions and emotions are the driving force behind decisions. More qualitative measures and examples should be used in conjunction with data or in some instances they can be effective on their own.
