Let's Talk

Dr. Krishna Kumar

The Polaris Advisor Program

I advise leaders accountable for business outcomes on designing measurement systems that drive focused operational improvements across sales, product, engineering, and operations.

My approach works best if you are already familiar with one or more of the mainstream approaches—DORA, SPACE, ToC, Value Stream Management, DevOps—and want to go broader and deeper. My methods rethink measurement from first principles while remaining compatible with, and deepening those practices.

If you're new to this space or satisfied with simpler metrics that come with the mainstream approaches, they are likely a better option for you.

Are we a fit?

If you believe context matters—that your organization is unique and needs a measurement system that reflects that—we should talk.

I am not the right fit if you want:

  • An install-a-dashboard solution
  • Simplistic productivity metrics
  • Someone to implement the latest buzzword-compliant metrics framework
  • Someone to help you adopt generic industry benchmarks or scorecards
  • Instant answers without deeply engaging the system to understand how it works
