Join our Spring Book Club. We'll be reading Measures of Success - React Less, Lead Better, Improve More, by Mark Graban. Our book clubs are a fun, casual way to read and discuss a book. The group will provide some great perspectives and insights along the way.

Are you tired of constantly reacting to every little change in your organization's metrics? Are you overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data you have to sift through, wondering which metrics are truly meaningful and which are just noise? If so, this is the book for you.

This book offers a practical guide to managing your organization's metrics in a more effective and sustainable way. With vivid stories and clear examples drawn from a variety of industries, including healthcare and software, Graban shows you how to identify meaningful signals in your metrics and respond to them systematically. You'll learn how to chart and manage your metrics in any organization or setting, so you can know what's working, what's not, and what to change. And why. It's about delivering real value, understood by everyone, and proven with data.
