One report says one thing. Another says something else. Now nobody trusts the numbers.
Meetings turn into fights about whose number is right. You have to ask for updates. You decide by gut, because the numbers cannot be trusted.
Each person counts things their own way. The data lives in many places. Nobody decided what each number means.
1. Pick a few numbers that matter
Five is plenty. Not fifty.2. Say what each one means
Write it down so everyone counts the same way.3. Tie each number to a choice
If a number goes up or down, what will you do?4. Pull them from one place
One source means one answer.We pick the few numbers that matter and define each one. We tie each number to a decision. Then we pull them from one place, so every report tells the same story.
Take the free check. See how clear your picture really is.
