- Decide the best way for you to measure that result, and how frequently. [Don't delegate this.]
- Look for the data for that measure, or get it as easily as you can. Get as much history as you can, too, to have an instant time series. [Delegate this.]
- Set up a routine to capture the data in a simple spreadsheet. [Delegate this.]
- Set up a graph in the spreadsheet that automatically updates with new data as it’s added. [Delegate this.]
- Review your measure for a few weeks, until you find a way to make it improve. [Don't delegate this.]
- Go back to step 1, to choose another result.
