Summary: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” This widely quoted jeremiad has been wrongly attributed to the storied Austrian-American business consultant Peter Drucker for decades. In fact, Drucker never said it, as Peter Zack of the Drucker Institute explains in this blog post. Yet its core principle remains faithful to the great guru’s thinking, and indeed it is a core tenet of those who seek to improve business performance. Whether you employ Lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste, or Six Sigma to reduce variation or other approaches to drive efficiencies and quality, a fact Drucker would not dispute is that reliable data is vital to understand what is happening across your value chains, both from an asset and a human performance standpoint.
