What single metric would change your quarter?
Dashboards are great, but decisions come from one priority everyone can see.
How I help teams pick an OMTM:
- Tie it to money or risk. Revenue, cost, or exposure—decorate nothing else.
- Review weekly. If you don’t see it often, you can’t steer it.
- Name an owner. Weather reports don’t change the weather. Owners do.
- Set a threshold (green/yellow/red) so action is obvious.
- Pair one behavior you control (input) to the outcome you want.
Examples:
- Reduce onboarding time by auto-provisioning day-1 access.
- Increase qualified leads by two founder-led demos/week.
- Lower churn by contacting at-risk accounts within 24 hours of a usage drop.
Pick one, make it visible, and let it dictate your next three moves.
