This presentation was designed for IT managers who understand the importance of managing with metrics and want to increase their understanding of what the “right” measures are.

The presentation begins with a definition of ‘effective’ measures and a summary of the traditional performance metrics used by IT management. It then takes a ‘leap’ into a discussion of four specific critical-success-factor measures.

These measures, of performance-driving CONDITIONS, are based on significant academic research and years of personal experience – including your own.

The presentation wraps up with an analogy for thinking about – and communicating – ideas for appropriate, effective management measures.

At the end of this presentation you will know:

  1. What “Good” Metrics Look Like;
  2. The Only IT Metrics That Really Matter;
  3. Both Kinds of IT Management Metrics;
  4. How To Measure What Matters;
  5. How To Think About What to Measure and How To Explain It to Others

Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

In many organizations, after an annual investment is made to create the ideal Strategic Plan which will is intended to guide the actions of the staff for 1 – 3 years or longer, many teams feel their planning work is done.

The creation of the Strategic Plan is often viewed as the end point of planning.

Unfortunately, Strategic Plans can become stale very quickly for a variety of reasons:

  1. Changes in the environment,
  2. New information that becomes available as the plan is being executed
  3. And … Feedback for unexpected results from planned projects and initiatives.

The Planning staff and department and team leads need to treat the Strategic Plan as a living document, reviewing it periodically to assess environmental changes that may require adjustments to the plan.

They must evaluate whether the planned initiatives are both clearly defined and prioritized realistically to ensure the right projects are being worked on at the right time and projects no longer viable are removed or canceled.

In this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Understand factors that influence changes to the Mission and Vision and thereby the overall plan
  • Learn techniques for using a SWOT analysis to test and validate internal and external perceptions of Strengths and Weaknesses integral to the Strategic Plan
  • Understand ways to prioritize projects and initiatives from multiple perspectives •Learn techniques to collaboratively adjust the plan periodically to ensure it is viable and on target
