15. SCOREBOARD

17. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
• “There is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency something
that should not be done at all.”
• Optimization vs Innovation.
• Only focusing on Circumstantial metrics can lead to misalignment with the
business.
Agility is not just for IT, Agility can make business really responsive.

18. COBRA METRICS
“Once a measure of performance is made a
TARGET or Incentive for the purpose of driving
behavior it loses the information content that
qualifies it to play such a role.”
– Measuring and Managing performance in
Organisation. – Incentivising the metrics.
