Measurement and Evaluation

Strategic Human Resource Management – Week #2 Assignment 1

People tend to refer to those things they perceive as negative and threatening as the enemy. When I ask participants in my workshops about their personal measurement experiences, the negative ones far outnumber—and, more importantly, outweigh—the positive ones. Even more distressing is that, even when I probe deeply, most people can’t even think of any positive experiences!

Almost everybody has, at one time or another, experienced negative measurement used to expose negative things—errors, defects, accidents, cost overruns, out of stock items, exceptions of all kinds—and to trigger negative emotions—like fear, threat, fault-finding, blame, and punishment. They also know how dangerous measurement can be in the hands of those who don’t use it well or benevolently. Although negative measurement can get results, it is mostly short-term compliance, and it leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths.
