Corporate strategy - Performance - Metrics

After I got hooked on the Lean Startup Methodology from Eric Ries I figured we need to go back to the basics with Reedge and figure out what makes our clients happy clients and how can we really learn faster and more objective and find the perfect product market fit. The problem with this Lean thought is that even though Eric Ries new book Lean Startups is good, it does not give me a template or format on how to measure our growth. It says you have to pick metrics and monitor changes, but what metrics should we take. http://www.reedge.com/measure-lean-startup-metrics.html

How Startups Can Use Metrics to Drive Success | Both Sides of the Table

http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2011/04/04/how-startups-can-use-metrics-to-drive-success/ It’s a very important concept for me because in a startup you are constantly under pressure and have way too many distractions.

Designing startup metrics to drive successful behavior | For Entrepreneurs

http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/designing-startup-metrics-to-drive-successful-behavior/ Great companies are almost always run by great management teams. And great management teams know that the only way to improve a process is to start by measuring it. Good metrics should also be actionable, and drive successful behavior.
I think in one sense or another both arguments are correct. On the one hand: “In God we trust, all others bring data.” And on the other: “paralysis by analysis.” However, the optimal strategy is not simply a happy medium between accumulating and analyzing too much and too little data, but rather a balance between measuring and interpreting two different kinds of information: anecdotal vs. analytical.

Metrics not Accounting For Startups

http://steveblank.com/2010/02/22/no-accounting-for-startups/ Startups that are searching for a business model need to keep score differently than large companies that are executing a known business model. When I ran my startups our venture investors scheduled board meetings each month for the first year or two, going to every six weeks a bit later, and then moving to quarterly after we found a profitable business model. One of the ways our VC’s kept track of our progress was by taking a monthly look at three financial documents: Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement .

Startup Metrics 4 Pirates (July 2011)

Back in December 2009 when Patrick Vlaskovits and I first contemplated our Customer Development book , I was noodling around with a graphic to illustrate the integrate Dave McClure’s Pirate Metrics with Customer Development activities. I posted the graphic in a blog post which garnered lots of attention, including an important comment from Dave himself: btw, note that AARRR isn’t exactly sequential… in fact, i’d emphasize Activation & Retention *first*, then go after Acquisition & Referral, then optimize for Revenue Recently, I have caught a couple of my Customer Development clients optimizing the metrics in the “wrong” order, so Dave’s comment bears repeating and perhaps some expounding upon.

How to use metrics in a startup

Over the past few months there have quite a few articles about metrics , which are, of course, a very important topic for startups. Metrics like these can and should drive your startup's development, once you get past the initial part of the hypothesis testing phase.
Quand vous allez faire vos courses dans un supermarché, le « mouchard » s’appelle votre carte de fidélité quand vous visitez un site web il s’appelle Google Analytics, Xiti, Mixpanel ,… En septembre, nous lancerons une version de SubMate avec pas mal de mises à jour. Afin de bien comprendre ce qui plait à nos utilisateurs, la manière dont ils voient SubMate et surtout la manière dont ils utilisent le site nous avons besoin de mettre en place des metrics.

Startup - Choisir ses metrics

Allez, ça fait bien un mois ou deux que je n’ai pas tapé sur l’un de mes clous préférés : les métriques, les chiffres, le reporting , et tout et tout.
