CEO: we must cut 100k quickly to make the quarter to offset our one off headwind. Finance: OK, what about travel expenses? It's the quickest thing we can cut CEO: OK! Operational Leads: well... we don't know what we spend in travel in detail and what is safe to cut, how about we cut (let's make a guess) 10k? This is a typical conversation between business leaders. The timing is key, financial results are at stake, shareholders are pushing for results... there is a feeling travel expenses can be temporarily scarified to make the numbers... yet it's not clear what savings can be expected because it's not clear what is "safe" to cut without harming business operations. I think a metric, like in this case travel expenses, should be considered "good" when it can be quickly used to make decisions. And a good metric is: compliant, usable, granular, aligned, comparable. If one or more of those attributes is missing, we have a metric gap. What do you think? Do you agree with our definition of a good metric? Missing something? Let's discuss in the comments! #analytics #fpa #metrics
