Metrics is the language of business today. In this presentation, Nic Berente calls on his research in Next Generation Research Enterprise to explore the necessity of measuring and metrics to articulate value and impacts. Measuring has become increasingly important as research enterprises now have to answer questions unrelated to their research, like “Why should we fund you?” and “Why shouldn’t we decrease your funding?” First, Berente offers insight into the types of value that different stakeholders want to see and how to understand and communicate that value to your stakeholders. Then, Berente discusses specific metrics to employ, including Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), meaningful numbers, and operational metrics, closing with real-life examples of successful, value-communicating metrics.
