As noted in my Little Book of Leadership…
Measuring is not just the Kirkpatrick scale, or loop, or an ROI. It’s also your simple task of writing, “What did we do?” and “How did we do?” and “What happened as a result?”
NOTE WELL: Measurement has as much to do with outcome (results, morale, impact) as it does investment. What happened and what new opportunities did the outcome create?
HERE’S A KEY ACTION TO TAKE: Create a list of questions that add YOUR measurement to each task, project, or event. Review those answers and results with the key individuals involved and make improvement plans accordingly.
