Change Leaders Need to Put 'Skin' in the New Software Delivery Game

There are a number of outstanding continuous improvement platforms available to help your organization consistently measure the impact and performance of your improvement efforts today.

So… Why aren’t they used more often?

Peter Drucker gave us the quote, “You cannot manage what you cannot measure.”

I believe the same tenets apply when stating that you also cannot manage what you do not measure.

Modern continuous improvement platforms provide seamless elicitation of critical data points from each of your team members to consistently assess the health and current state of your organization, igniting critical conversations, improving clarity and alignment around desired shared business outcomes, and leveraging actionable data-driven insights to measure, learn, and grow.

Your people carry the key to optimizing the flow of value to your customers, so it is essential to ensure their voices are heard when shaping the direction of your next big improvement effort and to pivot quickly if the desired performance or return on investment is not being realized.

In order to measure, you need consistent data and meaningful quantitative and qualitative metrics to drive effective decision-making around impact and performance. To realize desired outcomes, you also need to foster a culture of transparency and a relentless pursuit of improvement.

Who should care?

• Change leaders looking to “put some skin” in the new enterprise software delivery game and increase your stake in achieving shared business outcomes.
• Organizations, sponsors, and stakeholders dissatisfied with the impact of their investments in transformation, process improvement, and status quo change management initiatives.
• Team members seeking improved team health, work-life balance, and sustainable productivity.
• Customers seeking better products, services, and experiences in a highly competitive digital marketplace.
• Your bottom line and the commitment of your workforce.

There is no single perfect metric, platform, or system to ensure your organization is realizing its desired business outcomes, and there is no single script for building a culture of continuous learning, improvement, and innovation. The evolution of your organization will be a journey, and to effectively navigate ever-changing terrain, your organization must evolve and act on the right information at the right time to remain competitive.

Great strides have been made in recent years to equip change leaders with the tools, information, and resources needed to substantiate their efforts and increase shared accountability in building healthy teams and achieving targeted business outcomes.
