Measurement is a very important skill for the brainuser to develop. Let’s look at units of measurement. It’s very helpful, when trying to measure things, to have a unit of measurement. Having a basic unit of measurement means you can keep score and then compare one score against another.

For example, the whole metric system uses a number of units of measurement based on the decimal (or 10) system. We have metres, litres, dollars and grams. So, if you want to measure how far you have to travel to work you can do so and the answer may be 10 metres if you work at home or 10 kilometres if you don’t.

You can use dollars to figure costs and overheads and to help control them and bring them down. You can also use dollars to figure revenues and sales results and help move them up.

Metrics – Measuring Your Job

The more you can bring metrics or measurements to aspects of your job, the more you can take control and the more interesting your job becomes. What things can you measure in your job?

- Costs – eliminations, reductions or increases?
- Accidents/safety – lower or higher?
- Sales calls – more or less?
- Delivery times – longer or shorter?
- Wastage – less or more?
- Materials used – more or less?
- Industrial disputes – fewer or more often? etc.

Decimal Cognetics

In the last lesson, we’ve already seen that a CVS can never be equal to a BVS. So, what exactly is a BVS?

A BVS is a decimal of a CVS. A CVS is also a decimal of a BVS. In other words, they are related by powers of ten. Sometimes a BVS is ten times smaller than a CVS. Other times it is ten times greater. From experience, it is usually the latter, but not always.

By decimalizing (yes, it is a word) cognetics we are introducing measurement into the brain software and we get more control. Cognetics now becomes a more useful brain tool. Remember, cognetics is decimal. In cognetics we use the number ten.

The deliberate or habitual use of the number 10 is called Tenpower.

BVS = CVS x 10

The key to the practical use of this powerful perception switch – cvs2bvs – is the deliberate effort one makes to try to notice the BVS that is TEN TIMES better than the CVS.

So, for example, if your CVS is $1 then a BVS might be $10 (or it could be 10, if you owed $1). If the CVS is on one level, then the BVS can be found on a level TEN TIMES better than the CVS.

Ten times better may be ten times more, or ten times less, or ten units forward or ten units back. It’s the deliberate use of tenpower as a provocation to get you to escape from your CVS.

With practice, the “ten times” part of cognetics just becomes easier and easier. This is what tenpower is all about. Remember, mathematically, there are always millions of possible options (literally!) but you must deliberately look for them to see them.

Tenpower helps you to switch patterns of perception. That’s all. While it is not important that the number ten is accurately used, its use is a powerful escape mechanism. Take a leap with tenpower.

Inspiration

Check out this amazing design project by Ray Eames.

The design genius, Eames, was commissioned by IBM to make this movie about Powers of Ten. When I was designing the brain software – cvs2bvs – back in the 1980s I saw this movie and was inspired to include the X10 element in the software, so it became cvs x10 = bvs as a result of seeing this movie. This was made before computer graphics and here it is in its original presentation …

Examples
If the CVS is 1 gift, the BVS might be 10 gifts.
If the CVS is thirst, the BVS might be 10 mouthfuls of water.
If the CVS is one email, the BVS might be 10 emails.
If the CVS is one step back, the BVS could be ten steps forward.
If the CVS is ten steps forward, the BVS might be 100 steps back.
If the CVS is red, perhaps the BVS is green.
If the CVS is up, then the BVS may be down or even much further up.
If the CVS is to take, the BVS may be to give.
If the CVS is do it later, the BVS may be do it now.
If the CVS is 10, the BVS could be 100, or 1.
If the CVS is 100, the BVS might be 1000.
If the CVS is 1, the BVS could be one tenth.
If the CVS is where you are now, the BVS is take a quantum leap.

In cognetics, rightness is not as important as movement. Cognetics, using tenpower, enables you to move through information at a rate never before possible with only logic. And, in a rapidly changing world, movement to a better viewpoint is much more important to the thinker than defence of a current viewpoint.

The reason for tenpower is because there are always risks in thinking. It can be risky leaving the safety of a CVS to go out in search of a BVS. But if the rewards are so great, so worthwhile – a true quantum leap, an order of magnitude – then the reward provides its own motivation. You can now have the drive to escape inertia to move towards a BVS.

The Think Switch

Tenpower

The habitual use of the number 10 gives a very useful measurement and a useful tracking and controlling device for the thinker or clever brainuser.  Powers of ten is an extremely powerful warp-speed for moving through the cognos, the information universe.

In the unlimited universe of thinkspace, powers of ten helps us escape from the gravity of our CVS and to move out of orbit and explore the cognos, looking for a BVS.

    The concept of time and its immediate value.

  2. Klaus Says:

    How to contact 10x potential customers.. to build 10x current sales. The market is there and so are the customers, but each have to buy a lot more.

  3. Al Says:

    There are may metrics, I just to constantly look for them, get into that thinking mode.

  4. Xenek Stoehr Says:

    To answer the question, the best metric I can focus on in my job is the amount of time it takes to fully complete one assigned task. Presently the entire amount of administration takes almost as long as the work, and so I occasionally postpone it. I need to do the administration immediately however this requires high mental flexibility (which has biological limits) or slowing down to allow the brain to adapt to widely varying skills.

    To improve on the question, I note that my present job as an IT field engineer requires driving places and doing time consuming procedural work that can’t be optimised or improved by ten. My parent company probably considers an improvement of 1/10th of a metric as worthwhile. But what I can do to improve things x10 is to change jobs. By changing jobs I can use my experience to try to improve things x10, by changing WHAT tasks need to be done, rather than try changing HOW FAST tasks are done. So I must focus on changing jobs. And I guess, instead of applying for one management position, I should prepare to apply for 10, 100, or 1000.

  5. Fernando Penido Monteiro Says:

    10X more time thinking about and exploring better ways to do a task rather than defending the way we have always done it. For example – generating sales leads. We have always done it quite well but what if we could find a way to do it 10 X better. DONT accept the status quo ALWAYS keep looking for a better way.

  38. Janie Says:

    After reading some other responses, you all want to do x10 more.

  45. anthony bertini Says:

    i really like X10. logical decision making by definition is Linier and arithmetic. X10 gives you a geometric progression. a great leap that others in hstory have done. the Marshal Plan comes to mind. banning CFC’s is another. it really does free you to think the “what if”

    using X10 i can i can focus on bringing about a praticular outcome i am working on much quicker

  49. Walter Edey Says:

    The concept of place value as it relates the position of the point in the decimal system, the growth of zeros as shown as powers of ten, the value of negative and positive exponents, the visual pattern (graph) of exponential growth and an exponetial number line.

  50. Darren Says:

    Provide 10x more feedback to staff and coworkers. Focus on making the feedback 10x more interesting and positive.

  51. Brian Wizard Says:

    I already focus on as many decimal, portions or probabilities possible. My job is survival, enjoyment of surviving, and a constant progressive evolution. I am constantly creating, writing my script as I want it to unfold. The good news is, what I want may not be what is best for me, therefore it doesn’t happen, and I am saved the burden of a mistake. Yet, I try to take it all to the max, be it a decimal of ten or a million, to infinity.

    I reach to touch the any one side of the universe, and then the other. If it’s not enough, I’m sorry, but that’s all I’ve got.

    Cheers, BW

  52. geordie Says:

    Instead of thinking one thought think ten. That would be a challenge!

  53. Carol Says:

    Listening. I will listen more and, in doing so, I can see more opportunities. As a very ritualized human, I can stop how I am thinking and look and listen to what is coming to me in the day first.

    It is the start of the day that is most important. If I start it thinking the same way, I am more likley to repeat the same failures.

  54. grahamt Says:

    Instead of targeting 10 prospects- think of targeting 100.

  56. Donald Quigley Says:

    The level of value, our clients anticipate with respect to the specific tools or solutions we provide in response to their most urgent needs. That means we have to thoroughly understand, appreciate and evaluate their needs, before promoting what we provide. You may not sell them anything now, nonetheless, you may have gained their trust and respect, by evaluating their true needs, and that relationship may very well increase in value as new opportunities to work with you, confront them.

  57. Nathan Whanga Says:

    Re-evaluation of everything done to this point.

    Taking all that I have planned, created and implemented and critically analysing and further decimalizing these creating a much better and quality output.

  62. Ahmed Khaled Says:

    I wonder what Job do I actually have? I am a student with Art as a “hobby”; But, since it’s summertime I have no need of using the system on learning, rather, on learning art.
    I currently create about 10 works of Art a day on a scale of 4 to 10 hours daily, This can be increased by creating instead, 20 works of Art on a scale of 6 to 16 hours, and the plan to include small [20-minute] naps throughout the day, such would increase my ability to be awake for longer time, thus, switching into a bvs.
    What metric can I focus on in my job? the ultimate metric of time: I waste atleast 10 minutes every hour wasting time on complaining to myself about my back ache;
    I guess so.

  68. Maylene Says:

    An extra 100 words per day on my book – which when you consider that I have days I don’t write any words, that would be a massive increase on my current output.

  69. Lance Says:

    Contact with prospects.

  70. Paula Says:

    For me, the “time” factor, and time management skills. e.g. planning, 10-15 mins will now become 1-2 hours.
    Action from planning, 1 hour to one full day of promotion of my work from the planning stage.
    A day of promotion of my self employed work will lead to a week or even a months increase in profit.
    Using metric conversion to multiply time certainly puts me into the “big picture” allowing me to see with the increased scope, clearer long term opportunities.
    I feel less “bogged down.”
    It opens my future to far greater opportunities.

    DFQ #14:

    What is one metric, or measurement, that you can focus on in your job?
    For me listening would far outweigh everything else.By careful listening I will make sure I understand what people are offering me in ways of suggestions.
    To make sure of my understanding I will ask how,when,where,why, what and who. Having satisfied myself that the person’s contribution has worthwhile merit then I will work on the best way to present this to top management in such a way that I have moved from a cvsx10 to a bvs in my presentation. It is extremely important that the person’s contribution is recognised and not stolen and presented as someone else’s idea

  75. PCS Says:

    The metric measure that has the greatest impact on my profitability is # of offers made. This is a key focus.” Tenpowering” that metric is doable and a worthy goal.
    Thanks for asking,

  76. rogi Says:

    An interesting and well done movie.

    I think the decimal system is a great invention of modern mankind. I have no problem with accepting BVS = 10CVS in an abstract and symbolic way. Abstract and symbolic, because the formula expresses a straight line with the slope of 10. At the same time, this assumption that processes in nature and society would be linear is true in specific cases only. Much (if not most) of the living nature obeys a logarithmic law, which also is a power of ten, but on a different scale.

    In particular, linear thinking is the source of much confusion, false expectations, and erroneous conclusions. With the realization of this fact, I think the Power of Ten Law is OK.

    The CVS is doing an important task the day before it needs to be done.
    The BVS might be doing it 10 days before it needs to be done.

    Only problem, I can see that BVS yet I am nonetheless compelled to keep to the CVS even when I know I shouldn’t.

    I feel I am ‘defending the idea’ for reasons I’m not quite sure.

    I want to learn how to make the change, beyond being merely cognisant and aware of different perspectives.

  87. Goitse Says:

    Effectiveness….I suppose I will have to define the metric first. But effectiveness in executing my tasks/job would be the one metric I would put my focus on.

    Do I measure in time (days, weeks, months), or task completed? How do I factor in delays caused by factors outside my control, (delays in shipments, delays in incorrectly placed orders, delays in incomplete plans).
    The X10 power, could be a useful tool.

  88. Tsevi Says:

    I will focus my best at every day studies to move from cvs to bvs ten times . CVSto bvs x 10 each day. Always spending 10x that I have done my study project in a way to be ahead BVSx10 at all times.

    10 people probably is not BVS)
    But if I’ able to discuss things with 10 times more people is super BVS)

    it also could be documents. BVS in this case 10 times more documents I can read and decide on them. It needs to be invented how to have such a progress.

    Don’t be satisfied with determining one way of teaching things. Students needs and input should drive me to create 10 ways of teaching something or 10 different examples!

  140. karl Says:

    In my personal business, use of tenpower enables me to shift my thinking from incremental progress to quantum leaps. This alters my expectations of the things i can do and forces me to think longer

  141. Jazz Says:

    Thomas Jefferson said” I found 2000 ways how to NOT make a light bulb, but I only need to find 1 to make it work”
    By using this principal, (only scaling it down to the power of 10) I can broaden my thought proccess and change my thinking from CVS2BVS and program it mentally as a natural habit.

  142. Alison Says:

    Accentuating positives x10?

    For instance, when one sees a situation (a CVS) that may be somewhat challenging or problematic, by considering 10 versions or concepts that can be used as a part of a solution or resolution, then we are thinking about 10 options that can lead towards a BVS…

    Use tenpower for a BVS.

  143. Joseph G Fernandez Says:

    Since I no longer work for a living and consider training myself to be a better thinker as one of my jobs, I can focus on sitting with my eyes closed concentrating on my breathing for 10 minutes at a stretch, which I have never been able to do. The maximum I have been able to do is a minute or two.

  144. Vesna Says:

    Don’t just come up with one business idea, but with 10.

  152. Brent Ferrand Says:

    As a paramedic, I would like to measure the effect that my thinking has on my patients. For example, if I was feeling extremely compassionate or extremely irritated, attached or emotionally detached and a number of other factors that may vary. Although not easily measured, the results should be fruitful.

  156. Ian Says:

    IF we are able to achieve 35 placements a month with current strategy at a particular site we can achieve a much higher number by switching to a better view on strategy, keeping what works, refining what’s in the middle and revolutionizing what doesn’t work.

  157. Frank Lartey Jnr Says:

    if one client receives benefit from my intervention woking one-on-one, 10 clients can also receive the same benefit in the same time working in a carefully designed group setting.

    if I can have my rental home repaired in a month with a competent contractor, I can have it repaired in 3 days by engaging a team of 10 complementary contractors. Thanks, Michael, I love it!

  161. Terence Says:

    Ten times more 3rd party tools into the marketplace.

  162. James Doran Says:

    If the CVS is the cliffs edge then the BVS is ten paces backwards, unless of course the CVS includes a hang glider. Then the permutation is altered and the risk factor appears and is weighed. Have I got the right definition here. I can see where the values of CVS and BVS contribute to concise decision making. Fast tracking exploration outside the square.JMD

  163. Peter Says:

    10x NPAT

  164. Mike Biggs Says:

    Number of consumer propositions generated for review.

    Too many times in marketing there is a focus on the tactical implementation and the technical capabilities of, online, social media etc. The most important part is the strategy, which governs the actions. This is part of the customer engagement proposition, which is often arrived at through logic, research, and client assumptions.

  165. Richard Rosenbloom Says:

  182. jason kimberley Says:

    To stop funding my organisation with 200k pa. To get others to share the load – I think that is a 10 power X 40

  183. Chris Says:

    I think this quote, from above, is powerful: “tenpower helps you to switch patterns of perception. That’s all. While it is not important that the number ten is accurately used, its use is a powerful escape mechanism. Take a leap with tenpower.”

    At work we, in many instances, search for the ‘end’, the conclusion. In reality, perhaps we should search for accepted enduring conditions. Is there really an ‘end’?

  184. Jiaming Tan Says:

    The metric or measurement I can focus on in my job is that 10 times more minutes when I handle my job effectively and efficiently but in relax and enjoyment.

  213. Bronwyn Murdoch Says:

    The number of items stranded on my to do list measures in the 100′s somedays I get a lot done somedays I get much less done. Many of the items are quick however I allow myself to get waylaid by new incoming items and sometimes put them off because I don’t want to focus on what needs to be done. A measurement I can focus on is moving more (10x) more of the longterm items on the to do list to the done list.

    Leave the house ten minutes earlier for work and greatly reduce the cost of getting there!
    The long term savings to be gained from buying commuter rail tickets are very large and I always remind myself of this. I never get round to buying them though because i’m always in such a rush in the morning. I buy the day only ticket from the auto-kiosk thingy (it’s faster as I’m always rushing) when i should really just queue for the few minutes it would take and deal with the nice man behind the glass and save myself a packet.

    I need to increase my commitment by ten fold: to focusing on the job I want and how I acheive this while I have a lack of funds. The process could take months in the meantime I am unemployed with a lake of finances . I shall have to recognise what I have available to me rather then consider what is missing. cvs# bvs

  244. Bill Says:

    Hello,

    One metric I can focus on in my job is what I call “freetime”

    That is time to take a step back and plan and improve the way I do things instead of simply racing around completing all of the tasks that I must do.

    One way of doing this is to deliberately take 30 minutes every day to stop churning through lists of tasks and instead just sit and think how those tasks might be better done in a perfect world and then start moving towards it.

    Bill

  245. Steve Says:

    How much I earn. Why earn $60,000? Why not $600,000!

  246. Bryce Says:

    Number of words written. I will be able to write ten times the number of words if I drink one tenth of usual red wine intake the night before.
    I usually have a positive outlook, but I’m also a sceptic. What’s so special about ten? Nothing in this lesson has convinced me that I should start applying ten to everything. Where’s the evidence? I’m also sceptical about selecting a ‘metric’, something that can be measured, to focus on. There’s no point in writing ten times the number of words if they’re crap. Not everything of value is measurable in units.

  247. Dennis Says:

    One metric in my job could be the amount of time required to prep a room for classes this fall. Looking for ways to do the job faster and more effectively.

  248. Ken Says:

    stop making incremental changes to the cvs and start thinking of the exponential bvs

    For example: Within 1 day, I want to do at least 10 things that make me feeled satisfy.

  251. Steve Says:

    Time. My default mode is to procrastinate. Measuring time more carefully and adhering to time constraints is one area for focus.

    From customer satisfaction measurement to delighting the customer by ten times – what processes do we need to make that happen? What attitudinal shifts de we need to make that happen? Do we then need to worry about competition?

  258. Zeglar Says:

  259. Lea Says:

    CVS = do it later. BVS = 10 do it nows.

  260. Stephen Boon Says:

    From here to there ten times faster.

  261. Kerrie Says:

    The cvs is reacting to other people’s issues and problems (pips). My important tasks (IT) get put on the back burner. A bvs is to manage the other pips and reduce the time spent on that by 10. Then increase the number of my IT by 10.

    CVS other pips to BVS which is other pips/10
    CVS my IT to BVS my ITx10

    Of course, dealing with other pips is part of my role, however I can manage my day more effectively by reducing the amount of time on this. Perhaps i will teach these other people some thinking skills. This is now on my list of ITs!

  262. Fiona Kempton Says:

    time spent in sitting and formulating structures and concepts on paper around which to create my business. So if CVS = 0 units of time then BVS = 10 x unit of time. So CVS = 0 minutes per day therefore BVS = 10 minutes per day….then 10 minutes per hour…..then 60 minutes per ‘working’ day? CVStoBVS
    CVStoBVS
    CVStoBVS
    CVStoBVS
    CVStoBVS
    CVStoBVS
    Thanks Michael you are a lovely bloke.

  263. linda Says:

    My work involves the development and delivery of community engagement programs. We often lapse into a formulaic approach to this task which doesn’t always produce the best results, but for which we have lots of excuses (cvs). I am aiming for more tailored consultation programs. Therefore, I think the bvs could be to consider 10 alternative consultation program options, or to consider the impacts of the program from 10 perspectives.

  264. Louise Says:

    Ideas/thoughts about potential issues x 10

    1 Universal Truth

  282. Annette Says:

    In my current role almost everything is already measured, however I will be responsible for administration in the business my partner is about to open. For this business I will be able to create metrics for everything from ROI for marketing costs to training costs and customer satisfaction, using methodologies learned both at uni and on the job. I will also deliberately look for measures outside of my experience to challenge my perception and thinking skills.

  283. Chris Says:

    Sales made – increased or decreased.
    Incoming orders – increased or decreased.

  284. Mark H Says:

    Ironically, considering the current economic environment, the BVS metric of expansion by hiring more talent for my company would allow for the actualization of greater opportunity and growth.

  285. Matthew Says:

    Ten times the opportunities!

  286. Steve Says:

    One of my roles at work is to engage the workers and get them to start thinking about improving thier jobs. I need to multiply the amount of people I engage by 10. This would generate 10 times the ideas but more importantly, get 10 times the people thinking!

  287. Heather Says:

    I am in a caring environment so to multiply my listening, empathetic and empowering tools will add value to those I come into contact with. Increasing awareness….muiltiplying that will be useful. An interesting way of moving forward for anyone. Thanks!

  288. Karl Says:

    More income streams.

  289. Amanda Says:

    The amount of times I complete a task to 100%, 95%, 90% or less. Increase the most important tasks to 100% while delegating or eliminating tasks of lesser importance towards my goals.

  290. Richard Says:

    Number of times I get a customer into check.

  291. Lizette Says:

    I am a data analyst and get a huge amount of report requests. I will use the power of 10 to increase my turn around time on these, which is a bonus as that will automatically impact on my “pro crastination issues”, which I will then decrease by the power of 10 and achieve an overall higher efficiency rate. This will also have an effect on my affectivity and accuracy as errors occur under high pressure, caused by pro crastination.

  292. Terry Says:

    how many measurements are you currently using

  293. Kathryn Spencer Says:

    I will work fewer hours, delegate certain work & get the same amout of work done, giving myself more time for fun, play & relaxation.

  294. Saranya Kumar Banerjee Says:

    One of my hobby is contortions . I can apply this power of 10 measurement system here. For instance. currently I am able to do a close back bend and by using this measurement my CVS x 10 will be a head-seat.

  295. Jean Says:

    Part of my wage is based on bonuses or commission which is figured on a 10 point system. Wage xhrs.x10 is the amount I must first bring in before seeing any bonus $ which then becomes 10% of sales above the base amt. So thats the measurement I’m most concerned with.

  296. xan Says:

    Meters . liters , minutes , watts , volts ….. all of them :p

  297. Wayne Smith Says:

    Since I am working on growing a segment of our business, two potential metrics are the number of new contacts I make and the number of conferences/papers/whitepapers I present.

  298. Mike Lakeland Says:

    My key target at present is to reduce Lost Time Injuries and to reduce days lost through injury by implementing more effective Return to Work strategies.

    A ten times improvement would be a great target.

  299. noName Says:

    I am always faster with work than others so would be nice to have sorter working time.

  300. Jeni Says:

    number off estimates, time taken to devlop, number of jobs ordered, delivered, number of happy customers

    I like the ten minutes one from Maria

    and we have more than 10 in our team, if we could all work together, rather than individuals.. who knows

    More thinking to be done :)

  301. Peter Says:

    Order intake 10 times the current would make for a completely different business.
    That’s my challenge.

  302. jacqueline Says:

    To focus on facilitating Non-English-Speaking Migrants to speak English more: confidentally; easily; comfortably; ‘naturally’, even tho’ it is a 2nd language for them; relaxed(ly); use it in more situations; even jokingly!; to realise ‘new’ is possible; to accomplish a small goal.

    Measured, these units amount to the one Focus, but counted as a 10 and Mulitplied by the 10 of bvs they get a 100….well, on paper anyway…only joking.

  303. maria Says:

    One excellent focus of my cvs and a measurement of this is related to time management at home; whereby my time is allocated in many scattered, different directions including many needed directions, impairing my progression to manage my personal life matters efficiently.
    Considering the power of ten perspective and the exponential effect of this principle, my cvs- currently ineffective time management could be increased at least ten times if not 100, using this principle and rethinking those factors from an empirical, measurement perspective, my new bvs= 10 X at least in this instance, improved/better.
    If I look for ten spare minutes every 100 minutes, out of an eighteen hour day, I will initially be at least ten minutes better off to allocate that time to constructive personal management use; and if I follow this as consistently as possible, I will be better off for a whole day by at least 100 minutes of each day for personal time management and organisation. This will enable me to focus more clearly on goals I wish to achieve as opposed to meandering aimlessly off track, and not achieving what I wish to.

    18hrs=1080 minutes
    Every 100 minutes for 18 hrs, gives you 10.8 times in eighteen hour period. Multiply that by ten minutes each time; I will have just over 100 minutes for the day, which is of personal time management moulded in with my other commitments.
    A ten times at least improved bvs.

  304. Tim Y Says:

    To focus on customers contacted versus customers sold and satisfied. There is a way to contact ten times more with ten times the satisfaction

  305. esselle Says:

    ten things stared per week= one achieved : CVS
    10 achievements per week is my BVS.

  306. martin Says:

    Rather than approach 1 company in January, I will approach 10 and take the best deal.

  307. Libby Clift Says:

    to reduce absences by 10 days for some students would be worthwhile. To increase attendance by 10 days is the reverse. To increase their engagement/ learning/ sucess by any percent would be great ( and sustain it )

  308. Harold Says:

    Number of problems solved per unit time.

  309. Barrie Says:

    I thought 1 Business Joint Venture, my cvs, was good. Wrong!

    My Current View of the Situation (1) can never be equal to my Better View of a Situation (10). Certainly is more exciting and makes me grin.

  310. William Says:

    One metric unit, or measurement that I can focus on in my job, is to discover the tenfold of what I am doing. How to use the tenpower of every movement, asking ten thing about it

  311. Bigg Ogunyemi Says:

    By introducing metrics to my job, i can build perspectives towards reduction of cost and waste!

  312. Trent Leyshan Says:

    To change my CVS to BVS in my sales process.

    Example Scenario:

    10 Meetings per week = 1 Sale (CVS)
    10 Meetings per week = 10 Sales (BVS)

    In the above scenario CVS is achieved by demonstrating the same (current) behaviours. BVS is achieved through the demonstration of more effective behaviours i.e. better prospecting and targeting, meeting selection and sales process. There is no reason why 10 meetings per week can not equate to 10 sales. This result is only limited by the CVS. CVS mindset largely determines ‘what is’ based on ‘has been’ in the past.

    Summation:

    CVS = sales is 10% of meetings.
    BVS = each meeting is a sale.

  313. Emma Says:

    One metric I can focus on in my job is brainstorming better problem-solving ideas.

    Success is not one person in a company it is cumulative effort of many or the team

  315. Sue Maynes Says:

    Measuring the success of my new Google advertising campaign.

  318. Peterb Says:

    Now that is a really good question. I like the word One. People are ignoring that word and looking to make a greater list instead of Thinking and looking for The One.
    Focus. Now there is a great word too. Goes with One.
    You can focus on The One but if your list is spread out with more or greater, it’s harder to focus. See!! ..your question, though simple, has got me thinking. I like it.
    Enthusiasm is good but needs direction. Practice is very dangerous I say, because if you are doing it Wrong, you get better and better at doing it Wrong. Get it right first, then practice or repetition yields.. Music ,Golf.

  321. Althaf Hussain Says:

    One measurement I can focus is the prospect list of lives I can make a positive impact.I come across many young ,energetic people busy playing the wrong game in life, busy failing in life.I can focus on such people; help them reinvent themselves,maximize their potential and change their futures positively.

  327. Pradeep Singh Says:

    BVS= CVSx10

  328. panchasheel Says:

    risk analysis is cvs and cost realted to it is bvs

  329. Jordan Says:

    How I distribute information. – there is one something that is 10X better for everyone.

  330. Chris Parkinson Says:

    growing income

  331. Vincent E Epps Says:

    I have two jobs and barely make thirty grand a year. To increase my pay, and reduce my hours worked by 10 would be phenomenal. I guess that would also call for time management improved by ten also, wouldn’t it?

  332. LJF Wolffe Says:

    Traffic — getting people over to my web site. A power of 10 jump would be nice!

  333. Sandra Says:

  342. john buchanan Says:

    focus on the process of gettiing results, so look at what are the alternative/support measures that contribute to normal success /result measures. How to better measure decisions – getting decisions right can lead to ten times the results or more, ie greater possibilities

  343. Edwin Cobos Says:

    Costs – elimination, reduction or increases in relation to their value to generating revenues.

  344. Maurice Johnson Says:

    I think it would have to be work its self. How much more work and faster, more accurate and this would give me more time to be free to do what I would want to do.

  347. Stacey Says:

    Whenever I am having a bad day, I can remember that it could be ten times worse. That might help make the day become ten times better.

  348. Marilyn Says:

    Look at classroom management at cvs and transfer by 10 to bvs at least once a month ….hopefully this will keep areas focused for better use and more structured for learning…..helping me feel more relaxed and able to have a more concentrated time to process and complete my work.

  353. Drew Says:

    The number of hours each day.

  354. Sid Wales Says:

    Profit. However the power of ten would be a longer term BVS. I would view this as a combination of thinking of how we might increase income whilst decreasing costs. Thus by doubling our income, a difficult but not impossible task and reducing costs by say 20% again difficult but not impossible would result in an increase in profit of over 3 times. nothing like the Ten Power but a good start, and by doing it again when all is settled would get us near to the ten times BVS

  355. David Says:

    The number of complaints l process per week

  356. milca b. Says:

    Being 10 times focused will reduce your mistakes to 1/10( at least)

  357. John Owens Says:

    Productivity. Productivity for me comes in spasms or waves when my energy levels and motivation combine. Starting a new job tomorrow mean I do not know exactly what skill areas can benefit from the 10 x cognitive measurement however productivity or resisting the temptation of procrastination (usually on personal stuff) needs to be avoided.

  358. b willis Says:

    Metrics at work . . .
    Progress of my students: achievement – students’ ratings of their own attitude and confidence, attainment – progress against level descriptors and assessment foci.

    My effectiveness: lesson objectives met, targets achieved.

    CVS2BVS . . .

  369. Barry Counsel Says:

    Having recently thoroughly enjoyed “Software For Your Brain” (by the way thank you for making such a brilliant resource for everyone freely available) I have used X10 several times to get me through any procrastination I am indulging in. X10 has been brilliant in creating for me the opportunity to START.

    I have been able to start by declaring “10 ideas on a page”, “10 phone calls at least”, “look at the document for 10 minutes”, “look for ten improvements” etc.

    I have found that I am beginning to tune into more and more opportunities for movement based on 10 the more I usse the technology.

  370. Michael Says:

    how many happy and productive hours I have each week.

  371. Gibby Says:

  381. Joseph O'Brien Says:

    Literally the amount of work that I produce (as a programmer) on a day to day basis. The number of problems that I solve.

    My CVS2BVS though is really to take myself out of the coding loop to a large degree, and find one or more other people who I can pay to do that while I work on more important things.

  382. Arthur Says:

    right I’ve had a think and I got one…

    cvs = procrastination a unit of 10 = bvs = a commencement.

  406. Jeanette Says:

    10 times the concentration equals 10 times of the work done with 10 times less distraction and wasted time. 10 times more time to learn new things and explore life in general rather than 10 times harder work and no time to spend on fun things.

    Work smarter rather than harder.

  407. Heather Says:

    10 x the focus and 1/10th the distraction (bit hard when the cricket is on)

    Could yeild benefits of 100x CVS

  415. Andy Says:

    The measurement of ‘positivity’ v ‘negativity’ – in my own thinking as well as in the work environment. If I can focus on more positive thoughts and transmit them to others, can I move the pointer upwards for everyone else?

    10 times better use of time and 10 times better awareness

  417. Rashmi Says:

    In my chosen path of spirituality, practicing ONENESS, I will surely try to concentrate with more focus & peace.

  418. Jennifer Miller Says:

    I could increase my enthusiasm by the power of 10. Then that would bring the total of enthusiasm to oooh lets see now—10.

  419. Margarita Wynne Holden Says:

    Ten times more focus (as in pulling power) for attracting interesting acting jobs (I work freelance).

  420. Chris Says:

    I will be ten times better at performing my tasks at work, thereby getting ten times as much done at work.

  421. Will Says:

    In planning for next year i will need to increase my study time by a factor of ten and only procrastinate one tenth of the time.. that will help me achieve good exam results..

  422. Andrew Says:

    I think 100 times more sales (or even just 100 sales…) in a month would be a good measurement. But I think to do that 10 times more effort and work needs to be put into getting that 100 more sales.

  423. Christopher Hawkins Says:

    At the moment I need to ten times as more in a tenth of the time. But I don’t think that is a good thing – leading a double life (school and business) has led me into a trap where I have prioritised – necessarily – school, but at the loss of business success.

    The measurement I need to decrease is how much I think about what I have to do. A tenth of the time spent thinking about what needs to be done (and subsequently stressing) and ten times the time actually being proactive in getting stuff done.

  424. Mary Says:

    delegation to spend 10X more of my time on things I am highly effective at and 1/10th my time on timeconsuming managerial tasks.

  425. John deChadenedes Says:

    CVS is “We’ve only got seven people on our team so it’s virtually impossible to complete all the work we should do in a given year.” BVS might be “With seven people, ten times better planning, ten times better resource allocation, and one-tenth the time spent gossiping/complaining/inessential task pursuit, we can probably do what needs to be done with a ten-fold quality improvement!” (I have no idea if this could actually be done, but it’s somewhat inspiring just to think it and write it down, I have to admit.)

  426. h2o Says:

    How can we trun around requests ten times as fast as we are doing now without increasing manpower ten times?

  429. carole Says:

    I will use BVS=CVx10 as the drive to escape inertia to move towards a BVS.
    Currently between jobs I shall make better use of my time (x10) instead of thinking “what will I do” I will spend 1/10th of my time doing this instead of allowing it into every activity I do during the day, that way I will benefit more from the (x10) extra leasure time I have at the moment.

  430. Gordon K. D. Yen Says:

    Power of 10 actually represents the “unthinkable” which is the box we need to break off. Once this is done, things take on a new life.

    I can measure pages. Pages planned, commissioned and filled. I think this measurement could help me because its a visual representation of my work, I’ll be able to see at a glance what I’ve done and what needs to be done. At the moment my work is abstract and easily ignored, as a visualisation it may seem more manageable.

  436. Heather Says:

    Reduce the “10″ competing demands on my time to identifying one important priority to work on and complete or work towards completing.

  437. Rodney Says:

  443. Paul Valentine Says:

    “What is one metric, or measurement, that you can focus on in your job?”

    I’m sort of retired, so focusing in on my job is not an option.

    Focus in on my life perhaps.

    Recently, I had the sense that I had been ‘phished’, for a thousand bucks.

    On the phone, these guys were so good, so plausible. Top of the line in fact.

    No complaints.

    But within twenty minutes of our conversation I had been e-billed for $1000, which was not what I had anticipated.

    I have since heard the recorded ‘verbal contract’, and of course, it’s binding.

    They are that good at what they do.

    I live in Amsterdam and ride my bike all the time.

    And as I ride my bike and observe this charming city, I always seem to have some sublime sort of little mantra, tune, or idea going on.

    But today, I had to call this company to try to get my cash back.

    Because I knew that they were good at what they do, I was absolutely maintaining in my CVS that I felt that I had been ‘phished’, and was not looking forward to my conversation with them.

    So this evening, on my way home, instead of ‘mantra’ on my bike, I ran through my mind, ‘a CVS can never be equal to a BVS’, and trusted it.

    The result?

    Well, tonight I spoke to Glenda, an excellent representative, and a credit to her company.

    She offered me all sorts of very good alternative deals and offers, it’s her job after all, but the BVS of my situation precludes any offers.

    So my best shot was sticking to my BVS, or HVS, Honest View of my Situation.

    I stuck to it, and it seems that Glenda heard me.

    The end result is that, via Glenda, there is resolution.

    So, my Better View of the Situation is real.

    I think that I’m going to get my cash back

    I don’t know if I am allowed to promote companies via this forum, but I can say that astar.com are pretty good as far as travel/ticket agencies go.

    They allowed my to realize my BVS .

  446. Brian Lee Says:

    I work in Manufacturing.
    If you work in Manufacturing you are accustomed to being measured every which way posible. In my curent business we monitor and control performance against half a page of metrics. So it is difficult to select just one metric.
    But I also work in a business that is Private Equity owned. It is a very driven business, as the most important single outcome is EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). EBITDA is the cash available to repay the debt that hangs over the business.
    It is awesome to think in terms of the BVs being 10 times greater in EBITDA than the CVS.
    I am conducting a cost reduction brainstorming session this afternoon. The challenge I will give my guys is to reduce costs by a factor of 10.

  509. Bruce Swanton Says:

    Procrastination is a great time waster in creative operations, although it is not necessarily entirely a negative as subconscious processes might be at work during the apparent time wasting. Nevertheless, a strategy designed to significantly reduce dealy through procrastination might significantly increase operational productivity.

    My present focus is on changing the paradigm of teachers & principals from teacher – centered education to child – centered education and value orientation in the process teaching & learning. So one metric means if my CVS in the process of training and change is one percent, then the BVS will bring10 percent in change .

    I am going to choose the latter, after all it is the ability of my brain that we are working on.

I now feel that using this metric or measurement I can look at my finances and have a true goal of what can be achieved and I will work continuosly to achieve this goal. I am going to use the 10 measurement as a goal to increase my current worth and this will act as measurement of how I am progressing. I now have a set target to achieve.

  615. Ross Hansen Says:

    Meeting 10 new managers in 10 weeks to spread 10 health & safety messages. If they each used just one of those messages to remind 10 of their colleagues, then at least 100 people may think about and apply that message. If they used all 10 messages, there is a greater chance of at least one of those being meaningful to each of the 10 colleagues. Hence, a better outcome.

  616. Michael L Klyne Says:

    Well, I’m actually on a job search right now and striving for the day that a J.O.B. is no longer required, although I love to work…. It’s just that I prefer it on my own terms, not at the whim of heartless companies.

    I have been in the construction industry for 25 years and traveled all over the world with my career; it’s been great. The only problem is that when the project is over, so is the job, and I am left hanging without an income. The past three years I have been in Iraq and over those three years I have been simultaneously building a company “with heart” called jobremoval.com , plus three years prior. With my Iraq contract over I am traveling back to the States and it would seem that “NOW” is the time to multiply my efforts, and by focusing my energy there 100% (a metric power of 10) I will be able to contribute far more to the company’s success than what I have in the past, the CEO and community need me right “NOW”!

    This requires CVS2BVS because the fear associated with leaving the security of a J.O.B. paycheck feels a little dicey. “NOW” is the time to leave that behind and focus metric effort on jobremoval.com , so others will be empowered to do the same – quit their jobs by replacing their income; that’s what I wanted isn’t it? Of course it is!! Time to put my mouth where my money is and I feel it coming on like an unstoppable freight train! Yes it is….

    We’re talking 100 steps forward baby!

    I like the way you think D! money money money……….
