This insightful and eloquent book will show you how to measure those things in your own business that, until now, you may have considered 'immeasurable', including customer satisfaction, organizational flexibility, technology risk, and technology ROI.

Here, you will learn about: The Illusion of Intangibles: Why Immeasurables Aren't Calibrated Estimates: How Much Do You Know Now? Measuring Risk: Introduction to the Monte Carlo Sampling Reality: How Observing Some Things Tells Us about All Unconventional Measurement Instru-ments such as the internet, human judges, prediction markets, and more Measuring the Value of Information: What's It Worth to Measure? Written by recognized expert Douglas Hubbard-creator of Applied Information Economics-How to Measure Anything illustrates how the author has used his approach across various industries and how any problem, no matter how difficult, ill defined, or uncertain can lend itself to measurement using proven methods.

Rezension zu „How to Measure Anything “
"...the book for anyone who wants to know how to measure the value of information or any other intangible asset." (Computer Weekly, Tuesday 18th September 2007)"Hubbard has made a career of finding ways to measure things that other folks thought were immeasurable. Quality? The value of telecommuting? The risk of IT project failure? the benefits of greater IT security? Public image? He says it can be done -- and without breaking the bank. Many IT steering committees won't approve projects that "can't be measured," so it behooves CIOs to figure this out! ...... If you'd like to fare better in the project-approval wars, take a look at this book."-- ComputerWorld, 8/07
"... allows [companies] to measure performance in such diverse areas as customer satisfaction, employee morale, quality and organisational flexibility." (CPO Agenda, Autumn 2007)
