I apologize for the double posting. That’s what I get for rushing.

Here is an engineering-oriented perspective on creating value, where to measure, & what each measurement point means. tl;dr measure too early in the chain & you risk worse results at the end of the chain where you actually care about results (profits, in this case).

Incentives
Folks create incentive systems all the time, sometimes without realizing that's what they are doing, often not contemplating the next move of the person to whom those incentives apply. My work on incentives aims to illuminate the creation, observation, & adjustment of incentives systems broadly defined (i.e. not just money, but status, intrinsic incentives, storytelling, etc.)
