DO WE NEED MEASURES?
Data, in the form of tables. Color coding, such as the traffic light
system, to draw attention to specific areas of opportunity or
problem. Time series reports, to show trends as they develop over
time.
The choice of which format to adopt is entirely up to the preferences of the organisation.
However, I would strongly recommend that a single format for reporting and displaying
performance information should be used throughout the company. This is akin to using the same language to
communicate throughout the organisation. When different parts of the organization adopt their own language to
communicate performance information, miscommunications can arise.
