This specialization equips learners with the skills to measure and analyze intangibles across professional contexts. Starting with foundational concepts, participants explore the challenge of measuring abstract quantities, develop intuitive measurement habits, and learn to clarify complex measurement problems.
Building on this foundation, the second course introduces quantitative techniques for assessing risk, making calibrated estimates, and evaluating the value of information. Learners gain practical approaches to modeling uncertainty and translating measurement into actionable insights.
The final course focuses on advanced methods, including Bayesian analysis, human judgment instruments, and applied information economics. By completing all three courses, participants develop a structured and methodical approach to making informed, data-driven decisions.
This Specialization is based on the book How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of “Intangibles“ in Business, by Douglas W. Hubbard.

Übungsprojekt
Applied practice activities integrated throughout the courses provide structured opportunities for learners to apply key concepts and methods in realistic contexts. Learners explore the challenge of measuring intangibles, develop intuitive measurement habits, and clarify complex measurement problems. They create calibrated estimates, quantify risk through modeling, and assess the value of information. Advanced topics include sampling techniques, Bayesian analysis, human judgment instruments, and applied information economics, enabling a systematic approach to measuring intangibles and informing complex decisions.
