Metrics that Matter

Tried-and-true metrics — e.g. margin, NPS, employee retention, website traffic — have long been the primary ways to gauge business performance, viability, and impact. But in an ever-changing, Future of Work landscape, what needs to be measured has changed. Standard KPIs and OKRs need to be augmented by measuring what’s needed, versus what's easy.

Our award-winning Metrics Finder service enables you to unearth multi-dimensional metrics that are capable of addressing the new complexities and pace of business disruption, so that you can effectively shape strategy, generate cascading ROI, and peer into the future with confidence. Whether there's an area you want to measure for the first time — AI preparedness, change management, customer stickiness, etc. — or you need to re-imagine your existing measurement approach, we help you elevate the metrics that matter so that you can unlock the insights needed to catalyze success.

In Their Words

"Oftentimes we look at data as a measurement of what happened. The Metrics Finder is about looking at data as a way to figure out what we can make happen. We now have a common language when it comes to how we think about quality relationships, the new actions and behaviors that will drive connectedness, and new ways to measure.”

Rob Hancock, United Way of Rhode Island, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications
