Co-creating Transformation Metrics that Matter More

Having good metrics to guide change is important, whether it is an Agile transformation or any kind of change within your organisation. Who is it that should decide which metrics are important? Enduring change is co-created by leaders at all levels in an organisation, and unless the vision and metrics are also co-created, the efficacy and sustainability of the change can be undermined.

This talk will offer insights around the importance of collectively understanding why something is being measured in the context of transformational change, and also the importance of creating a change community that aligns around the metrics for that change – making the change more evolutionary in nature rather than prescribed. Having a vision and metrics that are built by the change community generates greater momentum and allows the change community and leaders at all levels to leverage collective intelligence on which metrics are important to guide the change.

In this session you will learn about:

  • What a change community is, why you should have one, and steps you can take to start one
  • The importance of a change vision and aligning on it to enable co-creation of change metrics, as well as some useful techniques to co-create one
  • Some steps, techniques and tools that you can use to co-create metrics that will guide you towards the change vision and allow your community to collectively sense and respond
  • The feedback loops that ensure your change metrics keep working for you
