Managing for high performance seems to be harder than ever. However, effective management is easier than you may think. It all boils down to answering one simple question: Are the things you're doing leading to the outcomes you want? This is the question that Managerial Analytics seeks to answer. In this short, straightforward manual written for both public and private-sector managers, Gregory S. Richards distills the art and science of management into four fundamentals that all managers can apply: The performance story (outline the expected actions and resources necessary to achieve the desired outcomes) The performance measurement framework (define your data sources) The management scorecard (identify the measures that you will monitor) The analytic plan (identify the analyses you will use to find out if the things you are doing are leading to the outcomes you want) Richards provides you with a range of exercises to help you design the model that works for you, outlining multiple approaches to address your organization's unique structure. Managerial Analytics is a powerful guide to thoughtful leadership that ultimately results in organizational success.
