Does measuring long-term performance actually sacrifice the long term?
In short: Anthony Hene explores the paradox of financial measurement: how do we track success over time without letting short-term metrics distort our vision? This lecture examines the tools, risks, and necessary reforms for meaningful performance management.
The central tension in finance lies in the move away from short-termism. While 'long' does not automatically equate to 'good,' measurement is considered the foundational first step for governance and control across scientific, commercial, and political spheres.
Hene investigates whether prioritizing long-term goals requires abandoning measurement entirely, or if current metrics are simply flawed. The session offers specific case examples and tools to help investors navigate which data points provide clarity and which prove damaging.
