To measure is to change
Why Measure?
• Determine what is important – otherwise, why measure it?• Create focus on KPI’s• Catalyze the process of finding the bigest levers• Uncover the truth about where we are today• Establish agreement about where we want to go• Validate or invalidate opinion• Record evidence for future reference• Save resources (measure twice, cut once)
Two forms of measuring
Atrendia performs two forms of measuring, subjective and objective.
Subjective measuring
• Interviews
• Fast• General picture• Adequate for limited scope
• High risk of bias and opinion• More expensive in the medium to long run• Singular results
• Calculator• Surveys
Survey types
• Fact-finding survey• Post training survey• 3, 6, 12-month surveys• Meeting surveys
Interviews
• Individual interviews• Group interviews• Gemba interviews
A combination of individual, group and Gemba interviews is the best approach.
Allow employees to decide which of the three they prefer for best results.
Individual interviews
15 - 50-minute interviews with employees
Goals
• Discover root causes of problems• More, Less, Stop• Gain understanding of company culture• Locate the big levers that help us tackle 20% of the issues to gain
80% impact
Topics
• Specific tools such as Outlook or overall communication tools• Overall work
Group interviews
50-minute interviews with small groups of employees
Same topics and goals as individual interviews
Strong advantage: Employees build off ideas and create synergies in the interview process enabling us to get to root causes faster. Teamwork
Disadvantages:
• Some employees may not be willing to "tell the truth" around colleagues
• More difficult to schedule• Requires more experienced interviewer to guide process
Gemba interviews
2 - 4-hour interview where the employee is "ghosted"
Advantages
• "At the place"- real life observation (more objective than regular interviews)• Interviewer sees issues not brought up in other interviews• Implementation of 5 Whys at the right moment • Much deeper understanding of issues• Relationship-building with client
Disadvantage: expensive
Objective measuring
• Digital measuring of work in Outlook e-mail• Digital measuring of all work
• Very low risk of bias and opinion• Somewhat costly in the short-run, but very inexpensive in the long run• Continuous results
• More complex• Requires software• Risk of ”Big Brother” fear
Work in Outlook e-mail
E-mails opened with dbl-click
Nr. of attachments sent
Nr. of people Cc:d
Many users are not aware that
they can click on reply without
opening the mail.
Are you the culprit?
Are you sending attachments instead of
hyperlinks to the document on the server?
LinkedIn is a great tool. Did you realize that it
was the #2 generator of mails in your inbox so far
this month?What is the cost of that?
