Episode 58 — Spaced Review: make metrics, analytics, and planning feel automatic under pressure
This episode reinforces the analytics mindset that GSOM tests: metrics are tools for better decisions, not decorations, and they must be chosen, interpreted, and acted on consistently even when operations are busy. You will revisit how to distinguish activity from outcomes, how to set goals that map to detection and response maturity, and how to diagnose bottlenecks using evidence from queues, handoffs, false positives, and missing context. We will connect those insights to planning by practicing how to choose the highest-impact improvement initiative when multiple metrics are trending the wrong direction, and how to define success in a way that can be measured and verified. Short scenario prompts will help you practice communicating metrics to leaders and teams without gaming the numbers, emphasizing clarity, shared definitions, and accountability for sustained change.
