They provide quantitative data enabling improved decision-making around changes in the lab. The things that lab managers choose to measure will drive behaviors in the lab. When those metrics are well aligned to increased productivity, positive results often follow. Most labs have a very wide range of potential metrics. Labs are good at measuring things. It is very important to measure what matters. An effective approach is to build a series of balanced metrics that focus on the important outcomes for the lab. To get greater engagement with the metrics, clearly explain what is being measured, why it is being measured, and how the metrics data will be used.
