Question 2

Using the information provided in the additional information, answer the following question on building a change analytics strategy.

However, practical considerations arise regarding the timing and usability of data collected. For feedback to be actionable, it must align with progress tracking during the implementation of the changes, not just after completion.

Do the measures to be monitored by the CEO represent appropriate 'leading', result-oriented measures for the effectiveness of the change interventions?

A. No, because 'leading' metrics must be based on quantitative data. B. No, because these metrics are lagging, output-focused indicators. C. Yes, because these indicators will identify if UniCo sales continue to decline. D. Yes, because these metrics monitor benefits realization at senior management level.



Answer : B

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

The CEO is tasked with overseeing the change analytics strategy to assess the effectiveness of the transformation program at UniCo. The focus on market share, customer awareness, and sales performance represents metrics primarily indicative of past outcomes rather than predictive trends. These are 'lagging indicators' because they measure results that have already occurred rather than helping to predict future performance.

Context from the UniCo Scenario:

The Customer Services staff are grappling with resistance to new technologies and processes due to discomfort or attachment to older methods. The Customer Services Director must intervene in a manner that minimizes resistance, builds trust, and encourages adoption of the changes. Understanding the root cause of the resistance is key to managing and addressing it effectively.
