S4-Episode 5: Measure What Makes Change Matter

A project can be delivered on time, under budget, and still fail to produce meaningful change. The training happened. The system launched. But did anything improve? In Episode 5 of THE IDEA CYCLE’s Administration season, “Measure What Makes Change Matter,” Mychael King explores how leaders can determine whether an initiative is producing meaningful value. Learn to evaluate change across four levels: ✅ Activity: Did we complete the work? ✅ Adoption: Are people using it? ✅ Behavior: Are practices changing? ✅ Outcome: Is the change creating value? Through a practical healthcare example, leadership questions, and a reflection on Matthew 7:16–20, this episode connects measurement with the responsibility to examine results and respond to what we learn. You’ll learn how to define success, combine numbers with observable evidence, establish a starting point, and watch for unintended consequences. Your leadership assignment: Choose one current initiative. Define the improvement that matters, identify who benefits, and establish a measure at each of the four levels. 💬 What does your team measure most often—and what might those measures be missing?
