“Working out what matters and executing flawlessly” is a simple way to view tactical and strategic decision making. But the reality is to determine “what matters” we need to determine what data and operational or performance measures we should be tracking and reporting. While determining the right measures is critical to success, businesses evolve and change, acquisition and divestiture transactions occur, and the competitive world moves forward every minute.
