After the measures and their targets have been decided before, this is the time to know the methods, tools
and devices used for measurement. Then collect those data and make them available for people and system to
analyze.
Measurements refer to numerical information that quantifies input, output, and performance dimensions of
processes, products, services, and the overall organization (outcomes).
Strategy Gate suggests various methods and tools for the organization to
select among that appropriate for each measure.
Strategy Gate helps also to make those data ready for analysis.
After collecting the measurements data, this is the time to be interpreted to performance information.
Performance measures might be simple (derived from one measurement) or composite.
Strategy Gate helps organizations choose analysis techniques that produce
performance information and apply analysis procedures to raw performance data.
Interpreting performance measures means translating messages highlighted by performance information into
conclusions about what’s really going on. To turn information into implication and to make sure which
messages are real messages (e.g. when a trend is really a trend).
Strategy Gate defines guidelines that signal which differences in
performance results are real and which are just natural random variation. This draws conclusions about
performance results to decide if action is needed (or not).
