36. Trying to improve something when you dont have a means of measurement and performance standards is like setting out on a cross-country trip in a car without a fuel gauge. You can make calculated guesses and assumptions based on experience and observations, but without hard data, conclusions are based on insufficient evidence. Mikel Harry, author of a good book on Six Sigma. 36

37. Measurements that are not in service of an organizational strategy are worthless. So I would agree that if you are measuring for measurements sake, you are wasting time. Metrics should be aligned to an organizational vision. When they are, they tell you if you are headed in the direction of fulfilling your strategy or not. 37

38. Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship or decency, for example? 38
