#74 - Measuring the impact

Time, Money, Efficacy

the measure of success in Design is

the number of people convinced, the complex details resolved,

or the organizational constraints overcome and

user satisfaction

How do you measure the impact?

Be it product or yourself we are often faced with this singular question.

What impact have you made?

Especially as designer, whose design may not see light of the day or may not end up in production as visualised/designed, measuring the impact is a nightmare. Top it with absence of analytics or process or tool to measure.

The only question then remains is whether the design was liked or not. Too lame.

So here is what I think can be used as KPI for measuring the impact of your work.

Time - How much time it save?

Money - How much money it saved or generated?

Efficacy - How much improvement in above 2 is made over time

Life is measured in the Things we have Built, the People we have Helped and Inspired

What are your thoughts?

He has leveraged his visual notes for brining Business transformation and clarity of many complex management concepts. He’s been LinkedIn top voices and works with some of the Fortune 500 companies to facilitate change with capability.
