[05] THE BULLSHIT METRICS
Innovation Pipeline Velocity
Tracking the number of 'ideas' generated and 'concepts explored', not actual implementations or measurable impact.
Stakeholder Engagement Score
Measuring how many people attended their workshops, read their memos, or provided positive (often coerced) feedback on their presentations.
Digital Transformation Readiness Index
A self-created score based on internal surveys assessing perceived progress, rather than demonstrable changes in learning outcomes or efficiency.
[06] SIGNATURE WEAPONRY
Thought Leadership Whitepapers
Long-form documents compiling existing ideas into a 'novel' framework, rarely read beyond the executive summary.
Miro Board Brainstorms
Digital whiteboards filled with colorful sticky notes and arrows, generating a false sense of progress and collaboration.
Synergistic Alignment Workshops
Mandatory meetings designed to make everyone feel involved while achieving nothing concrete, often ending with 'next steps' that never materialize.
