6 Stages of Planning a Metric Tree

So today, I'm gonna hopefully show you that just by breaking this process down into smaller steps, it's a very logical and almost enjoyable path. And I think by following this, you get benefits not just you you don't just end up with a metric tree, but, you end up through collaboration and through discussion about your important metrics. You just end up in a better place as an organization. The stages that I will touch on are the planning stage. Like, what do we put on the canvas first? How do we how do we just kick off? Once we have our plan in place, we need to move on to data and, like, interrogate that data. Is it fit for purpose? Then we get to the build part, and this is the part people focus on most often when I get questions, but, really, that's the textbook bit. Like, if we plan and work with our data and agree what we want our end goal to be, the build, is is fairly straightforward. And then we'll look at using it. Right? Our end goal is not just to have a metric tree. Our end goal is to drive business improvement through, incorporating the metric tree into our everyday life, into our processes, and embedding it in the organization. So this is a really important step. Part of that is ensuring that we are actually driving change and and improving the business. And we need to be able to monitor the work we do off the back of this metric tree, and be able to see, actually, is it working? Did we get this right? And we want to iterate. We always see this as a living document. We would if you go away next week and hopefully build a metric tree, I hope in a year, it doesn't look like it does now. It needs to grow with your business as as your business evolves.
