Once an enterprise has established its overall value goals, how do you measure progress toward attaining them? How do you cascade metrics throughout the organization and foster alignment to value at all levels?
In this Executive eBriefing, SDG will address the challenges of defining value metrics and implementing them in a way that supports maximum value creation. SDG's CEO Robin Arnold and Chairman Carl Spetzler examine how organizations are caught between the need to maintain a simple, common goal and the desire to create systems sufficiently complex to manage the multiple trade-offs that need to be made. For example, economic profit - while useful - is an incomplete metric. And the balanced scorecard, another management tool, is seldom aligned with value creation.
Creating and linking the appropriate dashboards at every level is a significant design challenge. To be effective, metrics must serve multiple purposes and constituencies, and have the flexibility to respond to a changing corporate agenda. Our speakers, experienced in working with corporate leaders throughout the world, will share examples and consequences of some common failure modes as well as the successful use of metrics to measure and monitor value creation.
