Measuring Implementation

Wisdom is all about application. (Darius Foroux)

Fragments from imaginary dialogues

“How can I maximize learning efficiency?”

“Maximize implementation efficiency.”

“How can I maximize implementation efficiency?”

“Measure it.

I’m thinking of two variables in particular: implementation rate and implementation lag.

Implementation Rate

Of the actionable ideas you took notes on, how many did you implement?

implementation rate = implemented ideas/total ideas

The maximum rate is 1.
The closer you are to 1, the better.

To maximize implementation efficiency, maximize the implementation rate.

Implementation Lag

The time between when you read an idea and its implementation.

The minimum lag is 0 – Immediate Implementation.

To maximize implementation efficiency, minimize the implementation lag.”
