"what gets measured is everything"

"Why don't organizations immediately leap at opportunities to play the Ends Game? [Moi ici: Aqui Ends Game significa trabalhar com os outcomes do cliente e não com os outputs da empresa] Why doesn't an organization, knowing that eliminating waste unlocks market potential, act proactively to shake up the prevailing revenue model in its industry, trying to reach a better alignment with the value customers actually derive in an exchange?

All too often, the remarkable explanation is that such a company is "blinded" by the quality of the products and services it proudly brings to market. This is what we refer to as the quality paradox. At some point, the relentless pursuit of quality makes it almost unimaginable to generate revenue from anything other than the sale of one's offerings. Said differently, when a company obsessively directs its efforts toward continuously innovating its products and services, it risks becoming accountable to its offering rather than to its customers.

...

One probable cause of the quality paradox is surrogation, a concept made popular by Willie Choi, Gary Hecht, and William Tayler in a research article published in 2012. Put in its simplest terms, surrogation occurs when an individual or institution becomes so keenly focused on improving the measure of an underlying construct of interest that it reaches a point where the measure replaces the construct entirely. Surrogation warps the intent behind the old management cliché about "what gets measured, gets done" into something like "what gets measured is everything."
