A Compelling Read

The Tyranny of Metrics

Unquestionably one of my more compelling reads this year.

A reminder that while data of course has value - for the measurement of the quantifiably measurable - so much of what’s most important, most meaningful and most valuable defies distillation into an empirical data point…

A sense of clarity
A sense of purpose
A feeling of confidence
Of being inspired
Of desire
Of motivation
And more

Show me a number that can quantify any one of these.

Patrick McGoohan in “The Prisoner” had it right.

The school is at the start of an ambitious and exciting journey. You have helped us set the standard for the remainder of the year and further ahead. I hope you will return to the school in the future and inspire subsequent cohorts of MPP students.
