Metrics' underlying data, values can be recalculated by anyone, offering transparency to researchers, publishers and the wider academic community.
When identifying the types of
metrics to be used, and in order for
metrics to be of true use, an organization should, for starters, 1) assign an authoritative owner to the
metric; 2) define their specific goals and anticipated outcomes; and 3) determine how often data will be acquired and reported.
The report found that CIOs recognize and understand the value of
metrics. CIOs have created programs to support the collection, analysis, and communication of IT program data, but finding the time and resources to implement comprehensive performance management programs within their departments is difficult.

Change is constant, and
metrics must remain dynamic.
Finally, there are
metrics that are simply manufactured.
To propose the
metrics for obtaining an efficient design is the main goal of this research.
However, with some simple processes, these
metrics can prove highly beneficial to CIOs in understanding the nature of the threats they face every day and the readiness of the organisation to tackle them.
Both cases manifest the most apparent
metrics in the Universe: obviously, almost all cosmic bodies can be approximated by either a sphere of solid or a sphere of liquid.
When a former MIT graduate student, Linda Haydamous, asked if I wanted be her thesis advisor for a company-sponsored MIT Masters' thesis tided "Predictive
Metrics for Supply Chains," I quickly said, "sure, I'm always game and interested because the sponsor is an important, high-profile defense manufacturer." I then followed this up with a concern that (to me) the term "predictive
metrics" was really an oxymoron, since
metrics are generated from history, hence they are backward-looking, while prediction is obviously forward-looking.
More than two decades ago, management guru Tom Peters penned an editorial titled "What Gets Measured Gets Done." Indeed, one of the findings from the research that Peters summarized in the 1982 business classic In Search of Excellence is that excellent firms use measurements and
metrics to make sure people spend time on the things that really matter.
