SQA Group Unveils Prediction Report: 10 Next Gen Metrics for Future-Oriented Leaders

PROVIDENCE, R.I., March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SQA Group, a leading niche tech services firm, today announced the release of its highly anticipated annual prediction report, "10 Next Gen Metrics for Future-Oriented Leaders." The report introduces new critical metrics — long thought to be immeasurable — that leaders need to start to measure in 2025 to thrive in an increasingly fast-paced, complex marketplace.

Built on SQA Group's award-winning Metrics Finder offering and insights from over 500 executive interviews, the report unveils a new set of advanced cross-functional metrics that enable leaders to finally put numbers to historically hard to calibrate business drivers such as:

• AI Preparedness: Gauging an organization's ability to pre-bake ROI and efficacy into future AI rollouts 
• Organizational Stickiness: Measuring an organization's staying power and future-proof readiness 
• Speed of Innovation: Determining the expediency with which ideas move from the whiteboard to execution 
• Digital Trust: Assessing the ease at which an organization establishes rapport with critical stakeholders in a global first world 

"Four years ago, SQA Group set out to help companies measure what's long felt immeasurable. To take the most squishy, nuanced questions in business and give leaders a chance to answer them with confidence, powered by next gen metrics," says Carrie Majewski, SQA Group's VP of Growth Strategy and co-inventor of the Metrics Finder. "Since then, we've introduced hundreds of disruptive metrics to the modern working world — transforming leadership team meetings and executive dashboards. We're so excited that this latest prediction report will equip an even greater number of leaders with the ability to measure what's needed, not just what's easy."

Comprehensive Guidance for Next Gen Metrics: Actionable Insights

The 2025 report offers more than just theory. Each metric is accompanied by a detailed chapter that includes a comprehensive framework for its activation, including:

• Clear definitions of each metric and why it matters
• Step-by-step guidance on how to measure it within your organization
• Suggested benchmarks to set actionable starting points
• Sample visualizations to illustrate the data in a meaningful way

Last year's prediction report, which focused on metrics for People & Culture leaders, introduced groundbreaking insights such as:

• Flight Risk Predictor Score: Predicting at-risk employees before they quit
• X-RAI: Measuring an employee's ability to be recognized as their whole self
• Intrapreneurship Rate: Assessing the impact of a culture of entrepreneurship on revenue

"For years, we've watched organizations chase metrics that feel safe, depend on legacy dashboards that don't evolve, and tell the same story over and over again. We knew it was time to flip the script," says Dave Pacific, SQA Group's VP of Data & Advanced Analytics. "Our latest next gen metrics were born from hundreds of honest, insightful conversations with leaders who are trying to measure what actually matters. This report is a modern-day toolkit for anyone ready to measure smarter, act faster, and outpace whatever curveball the market throws next."
