― Berend van der Kolk, De meetmaatschappij

“Ik onderscheid vijf typen indicatorisme:
1. het uitvoeren van makkelijke, indicator verbeterende taken;
2. het vermijden van moeilijke, indicator verslechterende taken;
3. het verbeteren van een indicator voor de korte termijn, ten koste van de langetermijndoelen;
4. het negeren van taken die niet in een indicator zijn opgenomen;
5. het manipuleren of frauderen om een indicator te verbeteren.”
