SUMMARY:The Tyranny of Metrics (Data and Society Book Club)
LOCATION:Knight Library Data Services Help Desk\, 1501 Kincaid Street\, Eu
 gene\, OR 97403
DESCRIPTION:Are we measuring what actually matters\, or just what’s easy t
 o count?\n\nJoin Data Services for a sharp\, no-nonsense discussion of Je
 rry Z. Muller’s The Tyranny of Metrics. We’re taking a hard look at "metr
 ic fixation"\, the dangerous belief that everything can and should be qua
 ntified.\n\nFrom higher education to healthcare to corporate management\,
  Muller argues that our obsession with performance indicators\, dashboard
 s\, and standardized data is actively making our institutions worse. Inst
 ead of improving efficiency\, it encourages people to game the system rat
 her than do their actual jobs.\n\nWhat’s on the table:\n\nThe Trap of Qua
 ntification: Why throwing data at a problem often creates a worse one.The
  Reality Check: A skeptical look at when metrics actually work\, and when
  they fail spectacularly.The Discussion: Bring your frustrations\, your i
 nsights\, and your critiques. Expect an honest\, unfiltered conversation 
 about the very real limits of data-driven decision-making.Open to all stu
 dents\, faculty\, and staff. e-book editions are available through the li
 brary.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/ab3a598d-702d-404a-b70e-9217b565329
