Dr. Jean breaks down the key difference between traditional operational metrics and future-focused project metrics, and explains why organizations must rethink how they evaluate progress. Rather than focusing on activity, utilization, or cost control alone, modern organizations must measure impact, strategic alignment, and decision speed.
