Meaningful metrics for better business
Specialists in performance measurements to improve all aspects of how enterprises go about their business.
ValueMetrics Australia is an R&D consultancy specialising in development and deployment of performance measurements to improve all aspects of how enterprises go about their business.
Such metrics can support:
- better monthly Board reporting and exercise of Due Diligence
- a logical basis for deciding what you need to improve and in what order to make the improvement
- Strategic Planning that really works
- improved safety performance
- better company culture
- increased alignment of what you are doing with what you are hoping to achieve.
Everything we do derives from a generic way of thinking about measurement issues.
This means that the approaches to tackling seemingly disparate problems such as the content of a monthly Board report, improving workplace safety, measuring research quality, or improving the efficiency and effectiveness of delivery of a Government program, are effectively the same.
