Keeping Score
Using the Right Metrics to Drive World Class Business

Mark Graham Brown

All organizations spend thousands of hours collecting and reading data. However, many of these hours are nothing more than wasted time because organizations analyze the wrong metrics - which leads to inaccurate decision-making.

Keeping Score ensures that you look at the right metrics. The author contends that metrics must focus on the past, present, and future and be based on the needs of the customers, shareholders, and employees. Measuring everything is more damaging than measuring nothing--pinpointing the vital measures is the key to success. Integrating the "balancing scorecard" concept with a Baldrige approach.
