LEARN HOW to use better measurements to get better results when driving change
Organizational transformation is all the rage – and for good reason. Organizations need to evolve in order to get better at what they do and stay ahead of the competition.
But according to McKinsey, 70% of major change efforts fail. Cost of failure can be greater than just wasted effort. The total cost of these highly-risky, resource-intensive initiatives can be enormous.
This is a 90-minute webinar applying the concepts of How to Measure Anything to complicated organizational transformation measurement problems. Specifically, we discuss:
How the proper scientific meaning of measurement applies to organizational transformation
How the observable consequences of organizational transformation can be defined so it becomes measurable
How misunderstandings about measurement methods get in the way of measuring organizational transformation
How measuring organizational transformation can limit the enormous risk of doing it wrong
How most organizations are measuring the least-valuable things – and not measuring the most-valuable ones (with examples of what you should be measuring)
The goal is that each participant will be informed about the best ways to measure and manage organizational transformation today, to increase the chances that the initiative will succeed – not fail.

how to measure anything: finding the value of intangibles in business
Anything can be measured. This bold assertion is the key to solving many problems in business and life in general. The myth that certain things can’t be measured is a significant drain on our nation’s economy, public welfare, the environment, and even national security.
In fact, the chances are good that some part of your life or your professional responsibilities is greatly harmed by a lack of measurement – by you, your firm, or even your government.
How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business illustrates simple, hands-on, yet intuitively easy applications of advanced statistical techniques to reveal the power of measurement in our understanding of business and the world at large. This insightful and engaging book shows you how to measure those things in your business that until now you may have considered “immeasurable,” including technology ROI, organizational flexibility, customer satisfaction, and technology risk. Hubbard explains examples that will get you to attempt measurements—even when it seems impossible—and provide you the tools steps to measure anything, especially uncertainty and risk.
