How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of "Intangibles" in Business
$45.00
I noticed several respected leaders in the field of measurement highly recommended this book, so I got a copy. I wasn't dissapointed. When I finished this book and reviewed the several example spreadsheets on the book's website, I realized my whole concept of measurement completely changed forever.

Striking observations Hubbard makes include the "Measurement Inversion", which shows that when the value of information is computed (yes, there is a formula for that) we find most organizations have been wasint their time measuring things that are unlikely to affect decisions while ignoring measurements that are likely to have much larger impacts. We find the surprising power of small samples and how even variables in complicated systems can be isolated. The way that British intelligence in WWII estimaated the German tank production by analyzing the serial numbers of captured tanks blew my mind. And then Hubbard shows us how estimate do it with a simple chart!

Measurements in every field will be affected by this book (my calibrated estimated is 95%).
