When you settle for "vanilla" objectives such as "increased clarity," or "more confidence," or "higher commitment" (which I call "human resources objectives" because they are so weak and nonmeasurable), you deny yourself the opportunity to create dynamic ROI, where the client receives huge benefit and your equitable compensation is quite reasonable in light of that improvement.

Einstein had, for the first time connected new and measurable consequences to statistical physics. That might sound like a largely technical achievement, but on the contrary, it represented the triumph of a great principle: that much of the order we percieve in nature belies an invisible underlying disorder and hence can be understood only through the rules of randomness.

The work of the CSSF and Prosperity Fund is guided by the National Security Council. As chair of the National Security Council Sub-Committee that oversees both funds, I am working to ensure that they are accountable and measurable against their intended objectives.

When neurons fire together, they exchange charged elements that then produce electromagnetic fields, and these fields are what are measured during a brain scan (like an electroencephalograph, or EEG). Humans have several measurable brain-wave frequencies, and the slower the brain-wave state we're in, the deeper we go into the inner world of the subconscious mind.

Very likely every object in existence—every surface, every definable bit of matter—contained such stored "impressions." They existed in a measurable field.

All around me, candidates were making wild promises and outlandish statements, while I was out there trying to offer up sound strategies and proven approaches—in other words, trying to be responsible.

Aspirations are abstract desires, like wanting your kids to succeed in school. Outcomes are more measurable, like getting straight As second semester.

Our bodies are rich sources of evidence about sexual selection pressures because they are visible, measurable, easily comparable with those of other species, and relatively undistorted by human culture.

The idea was to measure everything and "make measurable" that which could not clearly be measured, to quote Galileo.

And that method, we now know, can be applied to any study of nature, including the human body and its diseases.

One of the biggest mistakes that founders can make is doing something that maybe seems like a great idea, and seems like a good use of time, but actually isn't measurable, significant, incremental growth.
