Measure Network Concept

Who We Are

The Measure Network™

Enables managers to better define value...

The Measure Network™ is a management and measurement system that:

  • Clarifies precisely how a business creates value for stakeholders in an easy-to-understand structure

  • Defines the specific business activities that are most important in the delivery of that value

  • Describes the many cause-and-effect relationships that exist between business process characteristics and specific components of value so that individual managers can prioritize their actions to maximize corporate value creation
Each individual cause and effect is called a value path. The sum of an organization's value paths makes up a Measure Network™ - a strategic map of the organization's competitive positioning and ability to deliver value.

…and measure their ability to deliver it

Unlike most scorecards, the Measure Network™ first describes specifically what the organization wants to accomplish, and then defines the measurable data that will provide information to managers about its success.

  • Managers try first and foremost to create value, and recognize that performance measurement results are an informational tool, not the end-all objective of the organization

  • Measures of each value component and process characteristic are chosen based on several key factors such as cost of collection, quality and availability of data, and correlation to the specific knowledge that is desired

The Benefits of a Better System

The organization-wide knowledge that results from a Measure Network™ enables managers to:

  • Cut costs and improve productivity by better allocating and coordinating scarce resources

  • Capture and keep customers by reacting quickly to market changes which require adjustments to strategy, deliverables and process activities

  • Provide line-of-sight linkage for employees to the ultimate goal of the organization - value creation for stakeholders such as investors, customers, employees and suppliers
