Measurement Problems and Pitfalls

Measurement data is critical to aligning and driving efforts toward meeting strategic goals, assessing quality and effectiveness of core processes, closing gaps through corrective actions, tracking progress toward strategy, and supporting accountability and communication through an organization. But there are problems and pitfalls associated with performance measures including selecting the wrong measures, misuse of measures such as point measures that produce misleading results, proliferation of measures with little impact, as well as a host of other challenges. This module will describe the consequences of misuse of performance measures along with the associated wrong behaviors, and will identify practices participants can employ to avoid these problems.
