Identifying Your Metrics that Matter
Most companies are moving in too many directions, wasting precious runway on hunches. What if we told you the answer was a 16-row spreadsheet? Amazon, Google, Facebook, PayPal, Twitter – the world’s top tech companies each align around a North Star Metric and a few “key drivers” because that simple framework has incredible power to align and focus the team. Now you can get yours.
- Identify your “north star metric” to align the whole company around growth
- Map out your growth model and identify your key drivers
- Find your “rate limiting step” where you should focus for maximum impact
