  3. Keep the measurement process simple and consistent
  4. Don’t make it so complicated that the measurement won’t get done
  5. Measure the right things, with a focus on profitable customer behaviour
  6. Trends and differences in numbers are more important than the numbers themselves
  7. Remove any personal bias from the measurement process
  8. Capture the learnings to improve your effectiveness
