The Rummler-Brache Metric System

When done right, carefully chosen measures and goals at the Organization, Process, and Job/Performer Levels serve as the most powerful driver of an organization’s ongoing effectiveness. 

Measurement is key to the way our BPM consultants work with clients in developing strategy, solving problems, and implementing change. The art of performance improvement is the specification of the relationships between measures. Defining these is just as important as the choice of the measures themselves because the metric linkages establish a line of sight from individual outputs to process and organizational outputs.
