So we measure nothing? As pointed out in your comment, the fix is the consumer of the information understanding it and using it correctly, not avoiding the data entirely.
This reminds me of the debate about improving schools in the U.S. We hear objections from teachers unions how it's literally impossible to measure the efficacy of schools and teachers.
What other industries can afford to not rate their employees' effectiveness, outside of the broken markets of primary education and healthcare?
- fixedd 12y agoSchools and teachers should be amongst the easiest to test since we have so much data... measured multiple times a year.
- dmm 12y agoYou have to be careful what you measure. Imagine you have a 6th grader who is reading at a 2nd grade level. At the end of 6th grade you test her and find out now she's reading at a 5th grade level. Wow! A big improvement! Her teacher must be great. Unfortunately the test shows she's reading below grade level and the teacher is put on an improvement plan.
